It’s all about the programming, isn’t it.

Kind of like when some entity coughs up a ton of cash for a study, the study somehow always shows that nothing is wrong.

Or when the Democrats give the CBO some fantasy numbers about a proposed bill. CBO can only score something based on the data given. So, when the data is corrupt, the outcome is corrupt.

Imagine that.

...its parameters were set by global “trust and safety teams” based on the best evolving advice from governments...

Let that one sink in. "Trust and Safety Teams". Because "censorship boards" might be upsetting.

Google readily admits it's a world-wide government propaganda outlet and appears to be super-proud of its ability to custom tailor their propaganda needs.

It's really sad that lost in all the talk of private businesses and Congressional immunity is the fact that the internet was paid for by American taxpayers and as such, is the same as our other utilities.

What a sterling example of

“power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Time to heed Thomas Jefferson’s statement about the tree of liberty.

Most with a brain know that. We also know that google is a private company and can pull any content it wants. Use at your own risk.

Wow, and just like that, you’re calling for more government regulation and control. Sad.

Censorship. Of what they deem offensive or dangerous. Check. If you didn’t think the deep state was real, these last several years should have convinced you. If not by now, you’re probably beyond hope. Enjoy the grass sheeple.

Oh, and these “community standards” are made up by the latest pack of pricks hired by 3rd parties you deny exist?

Bite me Google.

Google algorithms are automatically selecting videos from news channels to be censored from Australian viewers that it deems offensive, inaccurate or dangerous, a media diversity inquiry has heard. But the tech giant has defended the move, saying its parameters were set by global “trust and safety teams” based on the best evolving advice from governments, health authorities and community standards.

Wrong. I'm calling for the removal of the protections that government has afforded them. I only reference the taxpayers having funded it because it's outrageous that something we paid for is being used against us. Yes, I know, we pay for our government and it's used against us, as well; but that's another issue.

Big business has simply become a tool of the state. It is the trade off to keep billions in profits flowing.

However I predict this will backfire as we have seen with MSM news. People will simply find alternative sources and google/government will lose the monopoly on info.

I misunderstood then. You want section 230 of the comm decency act that says “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by.

We should make a logo for Google

Google already has a logo that fits. A circle with 3 sixes. 666

Australia and other countries need to simply BLOCK YouTube and Google and whoever else is doing this crap, especially when it’s the governments (not the Joe Rogans) who are now being attacked with this censorship.
