ransomnote: I posted Matt Taibbi's introduction to the article below. Follow the link for the core of the article.Susan Schmidt, Andrew Lowenthal, Tom Wyatt and 5 others provide a well organized overview to their extensive research. They describe 30 main players in the Censorship-Industrial Complex (CIC), and another 20 in the 'honorable mentions' catagory. I will put a hyperlinked table of contents in post #1.

"Our team re-reviewed the domain, the rating will not change as it continues to have anti-LGBTQI+ narratives… The site authors have been called out for being anti-trans. Kathleen Stock is acknowledged as a ‘prominent gender-critical’ feminist.” This was part of an email sent to UnHerd at the start of January from an organisation called the Global Disinformation Index. It was their justification, handed down after a series of requests, for placing UnHerd on a so-called “dynamic exclusion list” of publications that supposedly promote “disinformation” and should therefore be boycotted by all advertisers. They provided examples of the offending content: Kathleen...

Two extremist groups financed by billionaire George Soros have been named in the emerging scandal involving federal law enforcement colluding with financial institutions to spy on Americans’ private transactions. Part of this Orwellian collusion involved federal law enforcement circulating documents to private financial institutions to jawbone them into giving up sensitive customer data, without them necessarily having to be suspected of committing any crimes. One of the scariest examples involved federal law enforcement passing around a 2020 “hate groups” blacklist to financial institutions that included “conservative” and faith-based organizations, according to The Washington Times. The circulated list was drafted in...

When Gross Domestic Income (GDI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) part ways, it’s a red flag. Contrary to popular belief, Fed rate drops often precede stock plunges, signaling economic slowdown. A staggering 96% of Americans worry about the economy, per Intuit Credit Karma. Unprecedentedly, less than 10% of companies boast strong Altman Z-scores, reflecting a concerning financial landscape. November’s Commercial Chapter 11 bankruptcies spiked 141% YoY to 842, per Epiq Bankruptcy. The 30-day z-score on the $spx indicates a bearish trend.

Left-Wing Media Monitor Aimed to Punish COVID Lab Leak Theory PublishersA State Department-supported "disinformation" tracking group pressured advertisers to punish websites promoting the COVID-19 "lab leak" theory, which a federal agency now says is the most likely origin of the virus, the Washington Examiner reported.The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), which was focused on creating blacklists of conservative news outlets for advertising companies, applied pressure to those companies to cut ties with websites boosting the once alleged "conspiracy" that COVID-19 emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China.The Energy Department recently concluded that, based on intelligence, the lab leak was the probable...

The Global Disinformation Index (GDI) is a British organization that evaluates news outlets' susceptibility to disinformation. The ultimate aim is to persuade online advertisers to blacklist dangerous publications and websites. One such publication, according to GDI's extremely dubious criteria, is Reason. GDI's recent report on disinformation notes that the organization exists to help "advertisers and the ad tech industry in assessing the reputational and brand risk when advertising with online media outlets and to help them avoid financially supporting disinformation online." The U.S. government evidently values this work; in fact, the State Department subsidizes it. The National Endowment for Democracy—a...

There’s a movement brewing to shut down conservative websites that offer views and information contradicting left-wing orthodoxy. Investigative reporter Gabe Kaminsky did an excellent job of uncovering how activist organizations, some partnered with the State Department, work to blacklist and defund conservative media. His ongoing series at the Washington Examiner is worth reading and explains how this is part of a larger effort to effectively shut down conservative media publications. It’s predictable—yet nevertheless disturbing—stuff. “Major ad companies are increasingly seeking guidance from purportedly ‘nonpartisan’ groups claiming to be detecting and fighting online ‘disinformation.’” Kaminsky wrote. “These same ‘disinformation’ monitors are...

It’s a win. It might only prove temporary, but it’s still a win for now.Last week, the Washington Examiner’s Gabe Kaminsky exposed secret blacklists of conservative sites created by the “Global Disinformation Index.” Those blacklists included Hot Air, Townhall, RedState, and Twitchy, and lots of other conservative sites under the ambiguous guise of “disinformation.” No one from GDI or its sponsors ever bothered to contact us to discuss their “assessment,” nor did their reports ever cite any specific data for any of the sites blacklisted, despite a lengthy yet completely data-free discussion of their “methodology.”GDI’s main partner appears to be...

The Washington Examiner revealed on Thursday that it is on GDI's list and spoke to an ad-buying source who said Breitbart News is also. Separately, GDI has said that the 10 "riskiest" news outlets for purported disinformation are the American Spectator, Newsmax, the Federalist, the American Conservative, One America News Network, the Blaze, the Daily Wire, RealClearPolitics, Reason, and the New York Post.

Welp, it’s official – chalk another one up for all of us crazy, evil, redneck, tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorists. How many times have we seen the mainstream media, Lefities, and Democrats roll their eyes at us when we’ve talked about being censored, throttled, silenced, and targeted? Personally, I’ve lost count. According to the Washington Examiner, new information has been discovered about a sneaky, shady AF attempt to target conservative sites by blacklisting them for various ‘safety’ reasons based on supposed misinformation. This includes sites such as Townhall Media, Daily Wire, Chicks on the Right, and even Twitchy. TWITCHY! How could anyone...

As Twitchy readers know, a Lefty ad group supported by Microsoft was (is) actively targeting right-leaning media sites in an effort to defund and de-platform them. THE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS WERE RIGHT AGAIN. *adjusts tinfoil hat, ties bow on top* Welp, sounds like Microsoft has ‘suspended’ its relationship with GDI and is launching an internal reveiw. Because you know, they TOTALLY had no idea and stuff. Totally. BREAKING NEWS: Microsoft, which subscribes to the State Department-backed Global Disinformation Index's blacklist of conservative news, has suspended its relationship with GDI and is launching an internal review, @dcexaminer confirmshttps://t.co/kRvZqxptpY — Gabe Kaminsky (@gekaminsky)...

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.

It was only a matter of time before someone unleashed malware that exploits the JPEG GDI+ vulnerability. Over the last two weeks various people have released proof of concept code in stages. The first code base that consisted of a corrupted JPG image file that caused an application to crash. The second code based was a JPG image that spawned a local command shell with no remote access. Within hours of the second code base released another person claimed to have made the command shell bind to a port for remote access. Now someone has taken matters to a greater extreme by unleashing...
