Trump Wants To Regulate Google

Just look to Wiki: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests

 

It was a protest, not a massacre -- because bowing to the Chinese/Communist agenda is what big tech loves to do. 

(So long as they're paid handsomely to do so)

 

It was a protest.  

 

More telling is the "People's Liberation Army at the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests"  That was the massacre.

 

Compare to the Kent State Shootings, which at least get acknowledgement as the "Kent State Massacre"  Or the San Ysidro McDonalds Massacre, which they refer to as the "San Ysidro McDonald's Massacre."

 

Apparently massacres only happen in the US.

21ST CENTURY TRUSTBUSTING: It looks like Trump is making good on his threat to take on Google and Amazon.

The Washington Post then reported on Saturday that, in sorting out the details for the Google antitrust investigation, the DOJ had agreed with the Federal Trade Commission that Google would be its territory, while the FTC would focus on Amazon.

 

While this might seem like a dry procedural maneuver, it could also signify that the mechanics are slotting into place for a major assault on big tech. The Trump administration may be attempting to divide and conquer and, in doing so, make good on a threat the president made last year when he said Google, Amazon, and Facebook might be “very antitrust.”

 

The winds are in his favor, with an appetite on both sides of the political aisle for reining in big tech.

 

The Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren has made breaking up the tech giants a cornerstone of her campaign. She linked to The Journal’s report on Google on Sunday, tweeting: “Google has too much power, and they’re using that power to hurt small businesses, stifle innovation, and tilt the playing field against everyone else. It’s time to fight back.”

 

 

I don’t think this would become an issue for Google/YouTube, if they had treated their users and content providers as though the company were a common carrier, rather than as a vindictive and shortsighted publisher.

Google mission statement: "Don't be evil"

(unless they pay really really well)

Funny how it's the most hypocritical out there who have to remind themselves NOT to be evil. 

 

To be fair, they quietly ended "Don't Be Evil" as a corporate slogan a number of years ago.

 

Conveniently enough, right before they went full evil.

This tweet does exist but doesn't want to embed:

Breaking News: Twitter has decided that investigative journalism is in violation of their terms of service - @Project_Veritas has been temporarily suspended from posting for tweeting internal communications from @Pinterest which show them calling @benshapiro a "white supremacist"

Problem is they bury other points of view. I tried to Google Hungarian president Orban  the other day and all I could find for the first five pages were hit pieces. They are abusing their monopoly to advance their own political desires.

Requires a crime to get going...

PJ Media?  Seriously?  I don't like them...but they're innocuous.  Blacklisting them is ridiculous.

 

You know what this is, right?  It's the silencing of any media channel that might favor Trump in 2020.  It's election manipulation writ large.

ANDREW KLAVAN: Conservatives Have To Be Fearless In The Face Of Leftist Censorship.

The corporate media — including social media — are now engaged in a full-fledged and collusive attempt to silence conservative voices in time for the 2020 election. On Sunday, just as YouTube was threatening to pull down thousands of “hateful” (i.e. conservative) videos, the New York Times printed a breathless and idiotic piece supposedly charting a YouTube viewer’s descent into right-wing radicalism.

 

How radical did this poor radical soul get from watching conservative videos? Well, okay, he “never bought into the far right’s most extreme views, like Holocaust denial or the need for a white ethnostate… “ But, “he began referring to himself as a ‘tradcon’ — a traditional conservative, committed to old-fashioned gender norms. He dated an evangelical Christian woman, and he fought with his liberal friends.”

 

The horror. The horror.

 

This suspiciously timed piece — clearly designed to give cover to YouTube’s censorship plan — featured a collage of faces of right-wing radicals. These included such raving hate-filled alt-right evil-doers as mild-mannered gay centrist Dave Rubin and of course Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro — whom various left-wing outlets have repeatedly identified as the one and only orthodox Jewish Nazi in all the universes!

 

But while branding Dave and Ben alt-right may be absurd, it’s not unintentional. It is part of a strategy.

1. Convince people that hate speech should be silenced.

2. Define hate speech as alt-right.

3. Label powerful mainstream conservatives “alt-right.”

4. Silence powerful mainstream conservatives.

5. Convince people that the late Milton Friedman(!), a Nobel Prize-winning economist, is the new Emmanuel Goldstein, the gateway drug to the alt-right, and the chief hoarder and wrecker blocking the glorious path to “Fully Automated Luxury Communism.”

It's all good now until the next time.

Award-winning country music artist John Rich took to Twitter to alert fans that the platform had deemed a link to download his wildly popular “Shut Up About Politics” song as “potentially harmful” or a “violation of Twitter’s Terms of Service.”

“Hey, @twitter you’ve deemed the #1 most downloaded song in country music to be harmful and in violation of your terms? 100% of the proceeds to to @FoldsofHonor. You need to fix this,” five-time Grammy-nominated Rich tweeted on Friday morning.

“FANS: Pls help me spread this message,” 45-year-old Rich added, tagging Fox News’ “The Five” hosts Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld and appending a screenshot of the warning.

THE TWITTER MOB COLLECTS ANOTHER SCALP: GOP congressman nixed as keynote speaker for cybersecurity conference.

 

“Black Hat hosts high profile global events that strive to ‘bring together the best minds in the industry.’ Except, apparently, pro-life cybersecurity experts.

 

Zack Whittaker, a security editor for Tech Crunch (and CBS alum, according to his Twitter profile) posted a tweet showing [Texas GOP Rep. Bill Hurd’s] voting record calling it ‘a terrible voting record on women’s rights.’ Whittaker did, however, acknowledge that Will Hurd is one of the few lawmakers who ‘get’ cybersecurity…

 

Something that Whittaker failed to reference, though, is the founder of Black Hat’s support for Hillary Clinton in 2016 as she ran for president. He hosted a fundraiser for her during a hacker conference in Las Vegas.

 

She’s the acceptable kind of politician, you see. It’s just really all too much, even by 2019 standards.”
