The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a foreign think tank headquartered in the United Kingdom, released an assessment of American online media designed to blacklist conservative media outlets and choke off their advertising revenue. The information is kept on what GDI calls its “Dynamic Exclusion List.”
Ad networks — including most prominently Xandr — which is owned by Microsoft — are now using this list to refuse to allow advertising on conservative media websites.

There is no downside for this sort of activity.
The government gives them grants for doing this.
GOP House should cut off the funding. All of it.

Exactly as I predicted. When you can’t get a loan, or a search for doctors gets you something different than your liberal friend, or your bills are higher than your neighbors, you’ll know why. AI will be used to complete what the left has in store for us. And we still don’t get it.
“blacklist conservative media outlets...”
...scientists, medical experts, law firms, athletes, entertainment industry, etc.
The left is blacklisting conservatives everywhere.
In the grand scheme of things, being blacklisted by progressives will be about as significant as being impeached by Democrats has proven to be.
Time for a new investigate subcommittee in the House with subpoenas for all involved.
Believe me, there are other cans of worms that have to be opened ASAP.
See the story about the National Archives and documents at the Biden-Penn Center Building, for one example.
“These companies stay woke and they harass conservatives because they know their customers won’t leave them. “
Absolutely. No one has the strength, principles, or are just too lazy to ditch them. When is enough enough to make folks learn to live without them and make a real change by hitting them in the pocket book? Are we so spoiled and lazy we can’t be inconvenienced even the slightest to stand on principle?
Stop feeding the beast, make a small sacrifice and learn to live without their products and services. The residuals will become a problem for all companies doing business with them and they will not want to have anything to do with them. If enough tell them to take a hike they will become toxic and it will hurt.
It make me sick that so many will continue to allow themselves to be abused by these companies rather than be even slightly inconvenienced to be rid of them. It is the only real peaceful weapon we have left and still no one will use it.
Agree entirely. It's a huge weapon and it needs to be used. Those on our side who oppose boycotts are often doing so because they personally don't want to be the victim of one by the left (e.g. Hannity). Someone, has to charge the hill, and it might as well be us.
Most all the “fact checkers” claiming to identity “disinformation” have a history of spreading actual disinformation.
Black-listing? Why, that sounds McCarthy-esque!
“Those on our side who oppose boycotts are often doing so because they personally don’t want to be the victim of one by the left (e.g. Hannity).”
Actually the real reasons are these:
1. Greed... They stand to personally sacrifice a minimal buck or two if they boycott a product or service. No way is there any principle more important than the cult of money. All money even dirty money is God to never be compromised.
2. Inconvenience... Absolutely no way will they accept even small personal inconveniences to stand on principle. they will sell their soul before they accept inconvenience.
3. Laziness... Pure laziness and refusal to take any personal time or effort to change their situation and remove that product or service from being part of their lives. We live in a society where one too many mouse clicks is a huge labor and they are just too lazy to implement alternative options.
All these add up to “We should boycott them! But I will let everyone else do it because I just can’t sacrifice one bit of my selfish lazy lifestyle”. Problem is everyone is thinking the very exact same thing so it is not happening.
