Google introduces its new global censorship tool

Google has partnered with the United Nations, World Health Organisation and others in a new global censorship tool that was introduced last Monday, according to LaToya Drake, head of Google News Lab.

Google News Lab is “a team within the Google News Initiative whose mission is to collaborate with journalists to fight misinformation” and other things. And, the Google News Initiative (“GNI”) “works with publishers and journalists to fight misinformation.” The GNI and its Lab seem to be one and the same thing with the Lab simply being a page on the GNI website.

Below are the short descriptions from GNI’s ‘About’ page.  The titles are misleading.  For example, following the ‘Our partners’ hyperlink contained in the words “learn more” does not lead to a list or overview of its partners.  It leads to ‘Case Studies’: Some “stories” about “how news organisations around the world are growing their news coverage and digital businesses.”  After which Google advertises some other of its products and invites the reader to “sign up for our newsletter.”

We truly have entered the era of George Orwell’s Doublethink and Doublespeak.

Google’s Global Censorship Tool

Last week, Swiss software developer Dejan Georgiev tweeted: “Google’s new global censorship tool was introduced today [7 August] at 9:10 am via an email press release.”

The following uses the points that Geogiev highlighted about GNI’s new censorship tool as a backbone to which we have added information for context. A copy of the Twitter thread above, with some additional comments, can also be read on Naked Truth News HERE.

GNI doesn’t describe itself for what it is – the global internet censorship – instead Google describes it as “Fact Check Tools.”

What is GNI’s true purpose? Its purpose is to eliminate dissent on any topic Google chooses. “The algorithms are Google’s last-ditch attempt to control the internet before people worldwide can no longer access it.  The goal is to have one point of view. Google calls it ‘Data Commons’,” Naked Truth News wrote.

Hosted by Google, Data Commons aggregates data from a wide range of sources into a unified database.  It is a collection of data and tools which, broadly speaking, comprise a “knowledge graph” linking data from numerous open sources, supporting schemas, an API to access data in the graph, a graph browser, and a fact-check dataset.

It links references to the same entities – such as cities, counties, organisations, etc. – across different datasets to nodes on the graph, so that users can access data about a particular entity aggregated from different sources.  In other words, it allows someone to query a person or entity and all the information about that person or entity within Google’s database is displayed.

The Data Commons site was launched in May 2018 with an initial dataset consisting of fact-checking data published in ClaimReview format by several “fact-checkers” from Poynter’s International Fact-Checking Network and Duke Reporters’ Lab.

By October 2018, Data Commons reported that the release of the sample dataset had stimulated further interest in the study of misinformation and that it had “received requests from academia to update the fact check corpus regularly and allow more publishers and non-technical users to add ClaimReview markups.” These requests were satisfied by the introduction of a suite of Google-based fact-check tools.

In October 2020, Data Commons became accessible in Google search: “We are excited to share that Data Commons is accessible via natural language queries in Google search.  At a time when data informs our understanding of so many issues – from public health and education to the evolving workforce and more – access to data has never been more important. Data Commons in Google search is a step in this direction, enabling users to explore data without the need for expertise or programming skills.”

In a video published a week ago, LaToya Drake encouraged “fact-checkers” and journalists to explore the digital tools designed specifically for them to help “verify the authenticity and accuracy” of online images, videos, and reports.

Google News Initiative: Google tools for fact-checkers, 4 August 2023 (4 mins)

Far from the noble intention of assisting with the factual verification of information online, Geogiev wrote that Google’s algorithms are designed to delete websites that criticise topics such as:

• Covid-19 statistics
• The World Bank
• The FBI’s crime statistics
• PharmGKB
• A one-world global government

Other topics include:

• Global warming statistics provided by the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change based in Geneva, Switzerland).
• World Health Organisation‘s findings on any topic they select.
• United Nation’s Energy Statistics Database (carbon emissions).
• Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas reports.
• The Anheuser Bush Baldwinsville Brewery
• Stanford University’s DeepSolar.

“All data supports one global government under the United Nations banner.  Google has the only say on what news gets read or blocked from the internet,” Naked Truth News wrote.

GNI’s Partners

Wikipedia’s page for Data Commons states: “Google has worked with partners including the United States Census, the World Bank, and US Bureau of Labor Statistics to populate the repository, which also hosts data from Wikipedia, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

The Data Commons website adds: “Data Commons has benefited greatly from many collaborations. In addition to help from the US Department of Commerce (notably the Census Bureau), we have received help from our many academic collaborations, including, UC San Francisco, Stanford University, UC Berkeley and Harvard.”

But to understand the magnitude of GNI’s network, you can view a non-exhaustive 71-page list of its more than 7,000 partners HERE.  This document can be accessed, not via the hyperlink under ‘Our partners’ on its ‘About’ page as previously noted but buried, on GNI’s ‘2021 Impact Report’ page (see image below).

Last but not least, meet the online persona of LaToya Drake, Head of Google News Lab who announced the arrival of Google’s new global censorship tool, and who clearly does not want to be fact-checked by anyone from outside her network:

I’m old enough to remember when Gulagle was not evil.

I recall their motto was, "Don't be evil." However, I now suspect they were evil even back then - what better way to hide than by posturing, moralizing, while admonishing others not to be evil? There was a creepy Google barge in SFO bay which was heavily secured and about which Google would not answer questions. A high security barge they couldn't explain? Hmmmm....

[Salamander]

I’m talking back in the early 90s when it was a little known search engine.
They pimped their free speech/honest results back then.
I made good pocket money with SEO for website before they “changed the algorithms” to favor pay for play hits.
Couldn’t afford to buy “top hits “ so his site, which literally dominated the first 5 or 6 pages of keyword results fell into the Google oubliette while big companies paid thousands for the same positions.

I have almost $100 in my Google account I’ll never see now.
$100 was the payout point and it m just shy of that.

I blew off Google a long time ago.

Pity as $100 would be a really necessary small fortune for me these days.

Bastards.

[Salamander]

FWIW I was using a WebTV back then so it’s been quite a while.

[ronnie raygun]

we are all caught in googles web, time to find ways out

[coloradan]

Remember when Google had a slogan, “Don’t be evil”? That was a long time ago, and might as well have been in a galaxy far, far away.

They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore.

CENSOR THIS GOOGLE! FU!

"I’ve assumed for the last several years that Google heavily censors everything."

I've been saying it sense the 90's.... Never trust google..

1. Keep old almanacs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, history and other BOOKS.

Digital information is convenient but can be easily edited and “erased” or “lost”.
All the classics, philosophy, sciences and math books as well as old medical books with common pathology, physiology and biochemical pathways outlined are good to keep as well.

Whomever controls the past and information controls the future. Schools have been absolutely destroyed as an educational facility and are mere indoctrination centers for the proles and slaves that the elites need to control.

I found my old high school trigonometry book and took out a folded weekly test I had. My wife laughed and even though she’s 5 years younger than me said that her high school didn’t even offer that. NOT GEOMETRY..... TRIGONOMETRY.

The class before mine was the last to offer Latin as a mandatory course for graduation. I KNOW that nobody uses it but it is a way to discipline the mind.... not teaching you what to think but HOW to think. Big Difference.

Protect your families, your children and grandchildren with knowledge and the ability to acquire information and use it.

The coming Antichrist and the False Prophet do not want their New World Order of Daniel 7:23 being revealed to the sheep lest they refuse the coming Mark of the Brass and save their eternal souls.

Revelation 13:16-18
King James Version

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 14:9-12
King James Version

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 20:4
King James Version

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Better copy all of that and share it all around the world 🌎🌍 before Satan shuts it down, at least electronically.

Tribulation Saints will refuse the coming Antichrist and the False Prophet AND the Mark of the Beast.

That is darn good advice!!

It warrants a trip to local thrift stores for old school textbooks.

It’s interesting that the oligarchs put a black woman’s face on this initiative. It’s not like she’s actually in charge of anything.

Yes. We need Trump back to stop this.
Prayers up!
