The Associated Press is targeting tech companies that host decentralized podcast marketplaces, including Apple and Google, alleging that they host “extremist” content — and the AP includes President Trump’s statements under that umbrella term.
The AP says “white supremacists” and “conspiracy theorists” are using podcasts to propagate their views, while describing President Trump’s arguments regarding election fraud as “extremist.”
Podcasts made available by the two Big Tech companies let you tune into the world of the QAnon conspiracy theory, wallow in President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen election and bask in other extremism. Accounts that have been banned on social media for election misinformation, threatening or bullying, and breaking other rules also still live on as podcasts available on the tech giants’ platforms.
AP lumps in QAnon with white supremacists, quoting the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization that moved to the far left under the leadership of former Obama official Jonathan Greenblatt.
Podcasting “plays a particularly outsized role” in propagating white supremacy, said a 2018 report from the Anti-Defamation League. Many white supremacists, like QAnon adherents, support Trump. Podcasting’s an intimate, humanizing mode of communication that lets extremists expound on their ideas for hours at a time, said Oren Segal of ADL’s Center on Extremism.
Far from de-escalating their blacklisting pressure campaign in the wake of President Trump’s ban from major social media platforms, the mainstream media appears to have moved on to other targets.

Are they not concerned with outlets which propagate black supremacy? Everyone should be able to agree that after last years deadly riot, Black Lives Matter is an extremist organization.
We are getting to the point that all opposition to Democrat party desires is labeled as white supremacy and extremism.
Good grief
This isn't true, but nevertheless the QTards have no idea that just as the OKC bombing shattered and ended the militia movement, 1/6/21 did the same to them. The most dug in Q supporters are about to find this out the hard way.
There was no Plan. Never was.
But it’s okay to teach critical race theory in public schools. I see.
Find something in Q that promoted violence or even a protest.
I’ll wait
Big Brother has found his Emmanuel Goldstein.
Hey AP, every heard of Charlie Hebdo?
Um.
That ship sailed 25 years ago.
Ashli Babbitt, the AF veteran killed at the Capitol on 1/6, was a QTard.
I’ll repeat:
Find something in Q that promoted violence or even a protest.
Ashlie Babbitt going into the capitol was her own decision - never been a Q post promoting violence.
I’ve read all of Q, I was always a skeptic as I am with everything and always thought it was too good to be true, there was never anything remotely close to promoting violence. It was about people researching the truth and uniting people.

I gave you a violent, murdered, Q acolyte who was tragically misled by Drops and the promise of a non-existent Plan. For reasons (other than clinically insanity) ppl like you continue to believe & post about this scam. All that is about to come crashing down in less than an hour when Biden is sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. Ashli Babbitt will mark the end of the Q movement in the same way Timothy McVeigh ended the militia movement. Mark it down and commit it to memory.
No one told her to do what she did or anything remotely close to it - that was my point.
Like I said I read it but always was skeptical.
Mentally unstable people have long been influenced by cults, and Q qualifies. For the same reason Charles Manson was charged so might the promoters of this mess.
you have no idea what you are talking about
Really? You watch how defenders of this Q mess are dealt with in the coming weeks and months. I’ll remind you as they unfold.
Got some kind of bug up your ass or something ?
I’m not defending anything, you made a false statement and I corrected it for you
