Don Jr. Says Big Tech Censorship ‘Is Probably a Top Three Issue’ for Conservatives
Newsbusters ^ | March 2, 2020 | Alexander Hall

Conservative leaders spoke at a game-changing panel about how the movement will take on Big Tech censorship.

Donald Trump, Jr., House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) blasted Bich Tech bias at a Feb 28 CPAC panel “What’s the Right Path Forward on Big Tech?” This panel represented just how rapidly the conservative movement has largely overhauled its approach to the Big Tech issue in recent years. Don Jr. addressed how many in conservative leadership “have not even realized that with our base across the country this is probably a top three issue.”

Yup! Definitely a Top Three issue with me. It pisses me off how YouTube (owned by Google) has turned its back on the YouTubers who made that site a success by now promoting mainstream media outlets. Almost all YouTube videos published about current events now lead almost ALWAYS to a mainstream media video, NOT another YouTuber. Very few recommended videos on current events or politics go to other YouTubers. Only to corporate media.

Exactly how they played it. Little people made it great, and now big media and big data control it. A big problem in the internet sectors are mergers and acquisition gone wild. It benefits only big money and not the full spectrum of customers and users and investors and the need for unbiased 1st Amendment too.

How many local and news websites have muzzled the public by eliminating reader and viewer comments?

Same thing happening when you try to Google for a home repair, you’re directed to a limited choice of big corporation sites, impossible to get local listings for a simple repair. Google ‘garage door repairs (your community)’ and see the junk you get. It makes you read out your hair and say I’ll just go to Lowes.

1. Immigration
2. Deep State
3. Freedom of Speech

And the whole tech world is a real part of #2 and 3.

PragerU is suing Youtube, and it’s a big and glorious one that has ramifications across the internets.

Isn't that where you steal video from?

And then monetize it and try to promote it here?

How do you justify profiting from theft?

Boycott Google!! There are other search engines that are much better and do not censored for political reasons. I do not understand why more than 90% of all internet searches are on Google. I hate it when I hear “google” used as a verb. I feel like a lonely voice in the wilderness.

I use StartPage.com as a secure search engine that offers fully anonymous non logged search. Google very rarely.

Not just the biggest enemy in the U.S either. Their tentacles are everywhere.
