Google & Twitter Insider: Algorithms Could Censor Entire Trump Movement Simultaneously
Breitbart ^ | 6 Sep 2020 | Breitbart Tech

Posted on 09/06/2020 5:33:31 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

An upcoming bombshell book from Breitbart News investigative reporter Allum Bokhari interviews a source that has worked at both Google and Twitter, who exposes how the AI algorithms used by Big Tech platforms are being trained to target conservatives.

The book, #DELETED: Big Tech’s Battle to Erase the Trump Movement and Steal the Election, will be published by Center Street on September 22, and is currently available for preorder. Sources close to Google and other tech giants say the book will “shake the foundations of Silicon Valley.”

One former Twitter and Google employee, who spent over a decade working in Big Tech companies, spoke to Bokhari about the “quality ranking” that major tech companies assign their users.

This secret score, which has eerie similarities to China’s “social credit” system, is used by tech platforms to determine whether their users are a source of value for the company, or whether they are “abusive,” and a detriment to other users.

The source reveals how the term “abusive,” which previously only applied to non-political behaviors like spamming and the posting of obscene content, has been turned into a tool to train AI algorithms to censor the right.

These algorithms are being taught, by Big Tech’s most anti-Trump employees, that “abusive” behavior includes things like “hate speech,” “misinformation,” the posting of “conspiracy theories,” and other behaviors subject to highly political definitions.

The source also alleges that an account’s “quality” score can be lowered simply by following or sharing material from other accounts considered “abusive,” allowing algorithms to censor entire networks of people at the same time.

The insider goes on to explain how these algorithms are being rolled out across multiple tech platforms, and will result in the wholesale suppression of the Trump movement — just in time for the election.

Never a mention of the corrupt, federally licensed telecom providers force-feeding its subscriber base with hatred for the Country.

I’m not forced to use Twitter nor Google.

taxpayer-funded ABC Australia - which zealously promoted the Russia/Trump conspiracy theory for years and never admitted they were wrong; and which goes along with every anonymous fake conspiracy theory against Trump on almost a daily basis - airs their own conspiracy theories about QAnon.

Guest, Cam Wilson (Gizmodo Australia, ex-ABC, ex-BuzzFeed): QAnon came to prominence when Trump was in trouble over Russiagate stuff...
QAnon people are anti-vaxxers, anti-5G, covid deniers, anti-semitic.
ABC’s Rod Quinn says Cam Wilson loves investigating far-right conspiracy theories.
Quinn: Michael Flynn TOOK a QAnon oath.
CALLS FROM LISTENERS.
Quinn: QAnon clearly fake news; should social media take it down?

AUDIO: 49m: 5 Sept: ABC Australia Overnights: QAnon
You’ve probably seen QAnon popping up more and more. Who are these people, what do they believe and why are people so drawn to this conspiracy theory?
To find out, Overnights presenter Rod Quinn spoke with Cam Wilson, a tech journalist who covers internet culture.
He answers your questions including who and where is Q? And how did this group make it on to the FBI’s domestic threat list? Also, how big is it in Australia?
Content Warning: this podcast includes mention of child abuse...

One way to address this is for all conservatives to be well informed and bold enough to speak the truth to individuals around them.

Bases on what I see here at FR, sometimes my hope is hanging on by a thread...........................

I suspect that conservative and Republican communication will be totally absent for the last week before the election and it will be too short a time for anything to be done about it. Trump will disappear totally from FB etc and the networks except for Fox and it will be limited to the commentators without which Fox will rapidly cease to exist. Unlike CNN, Fox still has to make a profit.

Do it.

Please.

Prove the insurrection exists and is actively attempting to take over the U.S.

Identify exactly who the insurrectionists are.

most interesting stuff in Polly’s latest concerns Crowdtangle, Ukraine, Maria Yovanovitch, Deborah Birx, the spying on Hannity/Solomon/Carter etc:

Youtube: 41m49s: 5 Sept: Amazing Polly: The Tangled Web of Cover Upperers
In this video I expose one of the major tools that both Corrupt State Department officials & phony ‘Fact Checkers’ use to stop the spread of news that threatens their Global Corruption Racket! Are the riots in the US linked to the same shady apparatus is covering up the Ukraine scandals? Are the child trafficking cover-upperers using the tools, too?

Absolutely Twatt, fuc#book and googevil will censor all non Leftist thought and content from now on.

They’ve admitted it, no, proclaimed it : “We will never let this happen again ! (the Trump election).

There is a over value of Google,Twitter and Facebook. It seems the left is scraping the bottom. I suppose the idea is to get the most fvking retarded Americans and NON-Americans. The election will very well be won by a very narrow margin. BTW,the GOP is doing NOTHING to help the margin in our favor.

And during the chaos after the election any mention of the Democrat cheating will be classified as a conspiracy theory and deleted.

Good old canvassing should help to mitigate the SM barriers.

>> Unlike CNN, Fox still has to make a profit.

And we know what’s keeping CNN afloat.

There are alternatives to twitter and word of mouth can be and is being used to negate needing a fair search engine. Even beyond politics, search engines are about useless these days.
