In late 2008, as Google faced antitrust scrutiny over an advertising deal with its rival Yahoo and confronted lawsuits involving patent, trademark and copyright claims, its executives sent out a confidential memo.“We believe that information is good,” the executives told employees in the memo. But, they added, government regulators or competitors might seize on words that Google workers casually, thoughtlessly wrote to one another.To minimize the odds that a lawsuit could flush out comments that might be incriminating, Google said, employees should refrain from speculation and sarcasm and “think twice” before writing one another about “hot topics.” “Don’t comment before...

CV NEWS FEED // In the days leading up to Election Day, YouTube limited CatholicVote’s new ad campaign showing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris posing with a well-known member of the drag troupe the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI), an anti-Catholic hate group. Google, YouTube’s parent company, claimed the ad buy violated its “Improper Content” policy, which restricts the scope of content deemed “suggestive or inappropriate.” The ad debuted a week ago. As CatholicVote previously noted, its 30-second ad shows “a montage of multiple clips of SPI members dressed in lewd costumes mocking nuns and performing sexually suggestive dances on...

We’re approaching the four-year anniversary of the infamous January 6 pipe bomb case, and still the FBI pretends to be clueless as to the identity of the suspect. In this same span of time, Revolver News is proud to have broken countless stories regarding the pipe bomb case that overwhelmingly point toward a government cover-up involving the FBI, ATF, the Secret Service, Capitol Police, and even Kamala Harris herself. The evidence is so damning that we have long referred to the January 6 pipe bombs as one of the two smoking guns of the Fedsurrection (the other smoking gun being...

Oh look, it's Big Tech being evil again! According to research from NewsBusters, Google is burying conservative news on search results ahead of the 2024 election. When using the search term "donald trump presidential race 2024," researchers had to scroll through 23 pages of results before they come to a U.S.-based right-leaning news source, a single Fox News video six results down on the 23rd page. According to one study, only 3.9% of users even visit page two of Google results, which suggests almost zero people bother to go to page 23. When using the search term "kamala harris presidential...

Google prohibits ads with the image of Donald Trump. Change the image to Kamala Harris and it works. Election interference. "Google, you guys are nasty people."

Your long-held suspicions are confirmed, according to a report: Your phone really is listening to you. A marketing firm whose clients include Facebook and Google has privately admitted that it listens to users’ smartphone microphones and then places ads based on the information that is picked up, according to 404 Media. Cox Media Group, the television and radio news conglomerate, admitted in a pitch deck to investors that its “Active Listening” software uses artificial intelligence to “capture real-time intent data by listening to our conversations,” according to the report. “Advertisers can pair this voice-data with behavioral data to target in-market...

Search giant Google struck a deal with the state of California to provide over a hundred million dollars in funding to local newsrooms head of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The company, known for its e leftist bias and close ties to the Democratic Party, will direct around $110 million to local newsrooms.

Well, this is indeed a shocker: Google admitted this past week that they were indeed censoring searches on GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and the assassination attempt against him. But it was just an outdated algorithm, honest!In the latest improbable claim of semi-innocence in the field of election manipulation by a big tech corporation, counsel for Google parent company Alphabet told the House Judiciary Committee that its autocomplete algorithm wouldn’t allow people to search for results about the Trump assassination attempt at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13 due to a prohibition against searches for political violence-related topics, National...

Google is up to its regular election tricks, according to the Media Research Center. An MRC investigation found that when searching for a candidates name with “presidential race 2024,” Joe Biden’s campaign website is the top result, while Donald Trump’s campaign website doesn’t appear on the first page. The MRC reports that as the 2024 presidential race heats up, concerns are growing about the role of technology giants in shaping public opinion and access to information. A recent investigation MRC has uncovered what they claim to be evidence of bias in Google’s search results, potentially impacting the visibility of presidential...

@Nigel_Farage 🚨 ELECTION INTERFERENCE ALERT 🚨 Big Tech giant @Google has BLOCKED our Ad Accounts. They are trying to stop the Reform message. I hope @MattBrittin can look into this issue as a matter of urgency. We want action.

Google and Meta are spearheading a fierce push to kill New York legislation aimed at protecting children online — and the controversial lobbying battle is poised to surpass $1 million in spending ... The SAFE Act would crack down on addictive recommendation algorithms used by social media apps by requiring them to provide default chronological feeds for users 18 or younger unless they receive parental consent. It would also allow parents to impose time limits on social media use and in-app notifications. ... The Child Data Protection Act would block apps from collecting or selling the personal or location data...

A new Donald Trump election ad has been completed banned by Google. I don't see why they would ban it other than it makes Biden look bad. But truthfully, he does that all on his own. Let me know why you think they would suppress and cancel this video?

Google just removed this new Trump campaign ad because they say it violates their "community standards,"

You really need to keep an eye on the Department of Injustice these days because you never know what they're up to. The latest example comes to us from Forbes this week. It involves Google and a collection of YouTube videos that have attracted the attention of the feds. It's not just the creators of the videos who are of interest, however. Forbes uncovered warrants showing that the FBI had demanded user data on everyone who watched particular videos. We're talking about tens of thousands of viewers in some cases. It remains unclear how many of these cases resulted in...

Google has Usurped DemocracyWe hear a lot about “election integrity” or lack thereof, particularly around the issues of counting the vote and the ballot box. But the truth is that elections are more likely to be stolen via search engine manipulation effects (SEME).What is SEME?SEME is an abbreviation for the search engine manipulation effect. In a series of randomized controlled experiments, it has been shown that more than 20% of undecided voters can be manipulated into voting one way or the other, by simply manipulating the rankings of search engine results.These studies were published in an article titled “The search...

Google's Chrome web browser will soon include a warning that "private" browsing does not prevent users from being tracked, a move that comes months after Google settled a related privacy lawsuit. In December, Google settled a $5 billion privacy lawsuit, which alleged that it spied on people who used Chrome's private browsing — or 'Incognito' — mode. A pre-release version of the browser has been found to include an updated privacy warning that addresses a key piece of evidence in the settled lawsuit — that users "overestimate" the privacy protection features in Chrome. When the change is rolled out, users...

Google hates the truth. They always have. They’re in the business of narrative-building and the narrative they’re building regarding the recent Project Veritas bombshell is a lie: “Nothing to see here.” Here’s what Project Veritas noticed on Thursday: The results have since been “fixed,” quite literally. Most of the top listings for the phrase, “pfizer project veritas” show “fact check” websites claiming the video is “unverified” or corporate media news outlets calling the incident “alleged.” Others published a story, then retracted it later. In other words, they’re running the Hunter Biden laptop play on this one. It wouldn’t be shocking...
