Election Interference: Google Blacklists PragerU App from Play Store for ‘Hate Speech’
Breitbart ^ | June 7 2024 | KATHERINE HAMILTON

Posted on 06/07/2024 1:48:40 PM PDT by knighthawk

PragerU announced on Friday that Google took down its app from the Google Play Store, accusing the organization of “hate speech” over its documentary Dear Infidels: A Warning to America.

PragerU published a screenshot of message from Google, in which the tech giant notified the organization of its suspension due to content on its app “asserting that a protected group is inhuman, inferior or worthy of being hated.”

“We don’t allow apps that promote violence, or incite hatred against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or any other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization,” the tech giant said of its hate speech policy.

“asserting that a protected group is inhuman, inferior or worthy of being hated.”

Yet the hate-whitey, hate patriots, hate Christians, hate heteros, and hate-normies juggernaut rolls merrily along unabated, with zero opposition by Google.

Rumble, Dennis?

Many of the Prager videos are just 5 minutes long, and in those 5 minutes there is more truth, real history, and real science than most 4 year degrees. Many young people are contributors. Many more young people access PragerU, and learn what the Deep State, Islamofascistnazis, and Google never want you to know.

And, Rush Limbaugh used to heap major praise for everything Prager. Yet another reason the left hates him.

Are we going to see a war between ADL/AIPAC and Google?

Will we start seeing Israeli and Jewish owned businesses pulling their ads from Google and encouraging supporters of Israel to use other browsers and Google/Alphabet products?

“asserting that a protected group....”

All humans should be a “protected group”.

Obviously, conservatives, straights and religious people are not “protected”.

Dennis Praeger is one of the most intelligent, thoughtful and sincere people out there.

"Rumble, Dennis?"

The issue here is access to the "fence sitters" out there who are far more likely to stumble upon, or find, PragerU on the Google Play Store than on Rumble.

An "all of the above" approach is needed.

PragerU should create a linux-phone app and urge all of its users to ditch Android and Apple.

If you want to be free from big tech, this is the only path forward.

Google owns YouTube. The video that triggered the suspension is still up on YouTube. We'll have to see if YouTube pulls it or even bans the Prager U channel, but if the video triggers a reaction on one Google platform and not another, it's possible that a random word triggered a bot. It's also possible that a malicious Google employee went rogue and acted on his own, but only had access to one platform. I dunno. We'll find out soon enough.

Anyhow, here's the Prager U video in question:

So, “Radical Islam” as opposed to Islam, is a protected group per Google?

I have no idea. I’m just reporting that the Prager U piece is still up on YouTube, which is owned by Google.

Why would Google pull the Prager U app from the app store but leave the offending video up on its own platform?

Different systems, different staff, different tripwires in automated systems?
