Just as it was dangerous to allow the left have monopoly on the press and television. We are seeing more and more evidence lefties are willing to use their tech to suppress libertarian and conservative views by calling it fake news. Message to Steve Bannon or Breitbart Use your power to and your investors money to take create a Search site and a Browser and make sure you don't slant. Just make it fair and good. You will eventually be the Fox News of search. Its not so far fetched... you would need money and some top hires. Once you are good and scalable... Plant a news item that you were funded by Russians, the publicity would be massive. Here is a site that talks about open space crawlers.... https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-bu...tch-What’s-the-best-technology-stack-for-this ----- http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/...rying-to-pull-ad-revenue-from-breitbart-news/ Left-wingers at Google are engaged in a relentless effort to demonetize Breitbart News from its AdSense platform and are linking advertising clients to the anti-Breitbart, far-left pressure group Sleeping Giants. Previously, Google employees have contacted Breitbart News to reveal an atmosphere of indoctrination and intimidation, driven by leftist zealots at the company. Current and former employees at Google now tell us that those same zealots are trying to use the company’s immense power against Breitbart News. In addition to placing pressure on management to take action against the site, they are also working to undermine Breitbart’s reputation with advertisers. Breitbart News has obtained a screenshot (withheld to protect our source) that shows Google ad account manager Aidan Wilks advising another company – a client of Google’s – that advertising on Breitbart may impact their “brand safety.” In the screenshot, Wilks can be seen linking Google’s client to the website of Sleeping Giants, a far-left organization that has repeatedly targeted Breitbart and other conservative-leaning news sites with false claims of racism and bigotry. The screenshot also shows Matthew Rivard, another employee at Google, advising colleagues that Wilks’ message was a “nice template” for those who wished to “call out” the issue to clients. Rivard recommends that the message should be repeated for “other key accounts.” Until April 2017, Rivard held the position of head of industry for performance advertising at Google. This made Rivard one of the go-to people for Google’s advertising clients. Rivard’s Linkedin page currently lists him as head of industry for branded apparel and e-commerce. Harmeet Dhillon, the Republican national committeewoman for the California GOP and attorney for James Damore, who has also seen the screenshot, said that other Google AdSense users should be concerned about secret blacklisting. “This communication from Google’s advertising department raises troubling questions about whether the company’s ideological bias extends beyond the employment claims covered in our lawsuit, to Google’s business practices toward AdWords publisher users as well,” said Dhillon. “If there are indeed concerted efforts at Google to undermine the advertising revenue of disfavored publishers (an allegation YouTube is already facing in court through its abrupt demonetization of Prager University videos), then this conduct may give rise to additional legal claims. At a minimum, AdSense users may question whether they are being targeted for secret blacklisting as described here.” Open Letter According to multiple sources, leftist employees sent an open letter to Google’s management calling on them to demonetize Breitbart, which amassed over seven hundred supporters across the company. Conservatives at Google launched a counter-petition, which attracted over two hundred supporters. Breitbart News has seen a copy of the anti-Breitbart letter, confirming its existence. The letter called for the removal of Breitbart from AdSense, and for the “blocking of all Google-served ads” on Breitbart.com. The open letter accuses Breitbart of “hate speech”: Googlers hold a diverse set of political, social, and economic perspectives, but respect and openness bind us together. The hate & bullying Breitbart incites toward Muslims , LGBTQ people , and women is incompatible with those shared values. Among the authors of the open letter was Google employee Jeff Lakusta, who runs the technical support team behind the company’s ad buying platform. The other authors were comms employee William Fitzgerald, senior software engineer Pierre Fite-Georgel, and the now-former employee Tim Chevalier, who Breitbart News exposed as a supporter of political violence and the “Antifa” domestic terroristorganization. Support for Antifa is widespread at Google, who have so far refused to issue a statement to us condemning political violence. Although Google’s management did not cave in to the open letter, leftists have reportedly not stopped their efforts to demonetize Breitbart. According to one source, anti-Breitbart employees at the company are “literally keeping a spreadsheet” about the site. “They have people trawling each article on the site [Breitbart] to see if they can find comments that might violate their policies in order to justify not trafficking ads.” Fake News Panic Another former Google employee spoke of an all-hands meeting at Google’s Mountain View headquarters in May, in which senior management stated that “for the last 6 months” they had been “committed to solving the fake news problem.” This insider found the poorly-concealed political bias amusing. “Hmmm, what happened 6 months [from May] to cause Google to suddenly become focused on fake news?” May, of course, was exactly 6 months from the election of Donald Trump. The people who are running Google’s “fake news” detection algorithms are “strongly biased,” claims one other source. This bias revealed itself recently, in Google’s botched attempt to place “fact-check” messages next to “disputed” stories from news outlets. The feature was abruptly canceled after a Daily Caller report revealed that it almost exclusively targeted conservative news sites, including Breitbart News, often by incorrectly attributing claims to their stories.
Always liked Duck Duck Go as a search engine alternative to Google. All you have to do is look at the above posts to see how enraged such an item drives the left.
Just the idea of unedited fair search triggers lefties. I thought of something else while driving back. I would have 3 search bars on ReitSearch. (TM) Bannon said real liberals needed a breitbart. So lets give them one. Not one that is owned by banks and tech lefties but true liberals not pre fascists. So have 3 search bars. left right and center The left and right side filtering out fake news from the others and giving extra weight to trusted partisan but honest sources.
A while ago a group tried to do that by getting advertisers to boycott the O'Reilly factor with much of the same purpose. It didn't have the desired effect because of the size of the audience, and at the end of the day, that's really what advertising is designed to do - reach the maximum amount of population for the least amount of cost.
Interesting suit from PragerU..... PragerU Takes Legal Action Against Google and YouTube for Discrimination https://www.prageru.com/press-relea...ion-against-google-and-youtube-discrimination “This is speech discrimination plain and simple, censorship based entirely on unspecified ideological objection to the message or on the perceived identity and political viewpoint of the speaker” - 36th Governor of California Pete Wilson Browne, George, Ross LLP LOS ANGELES — Prager University (PragerU) has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to stop Google and YouTube from unlawfully censoring its educational videos and discriminating against its right to freedom of speech. The lawsuit cites more than 50 PragerU videos which have either been “restricted” or “demonetized” by Google/YouTube. The PragerU videos range on various subjects presenting a conservative point of view, and include a video by noted Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz on the founding of Israel. PragerU previously compiled a complete list of their restricted videos here, which includes: “Why America Must Lead,” “The Ten Commandments: Do Not Murder,” “Why Did America Fight the Korean War,” and “The World’s Most Persecuted Minority: Christians.” In correspondence cited in the filing, Google/YouTube made it clear that the censorship of certain videos was because they were deemed “inappropriate” for younger audiences. “Watch any one of our videos and you’ll immediately realize that Google/YouTube censorship is entirely ideologically driven. For the record, our videos are presented by some of the finest minds in the Western world, including four Pulitzer Prize winners, former prime ministers, and professors from the most prestigious universities in America,” stated PragerU founder Dennis Prager.
