IMANI: How Uber’s Gig Model Lets Drivers Discriminate and Harass With Impunity

December 15, 2025 Amil Imani

The expulsion of Jewish model Miriam Mattova from a Toronto Uber – not for her fare, but for her faith – is more than an act of raw antisemitism. It is a siren blaring at the heart of the modern Gig Economy. The driver’s alleged declaration, “I don’t drive Jews,” is a moral crisis that is being systematically laundered … Read more

Endangered Species vs. META AI

November 6, 2024November 6, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Big Tech is racing to be the first kid on the block with a super-powered AI engine. To get there from here, you need super-power, as in obscene amounts of electricity. AI is an energy hog, and the bigger the AI, the more power you need. Big Tech also panders to the green narrative, greenwashes, … Read more

The War on Children

October 10, 2024July 12, 2024 Charles Bradley

In American society today, we are seeing a “War on our Children.” This is an orchestrated attempt by “Big Tech” to gain control of our children’s minds and hearts, and they have been doing an excellent job so far. Smartphones are their weapon.

American Elections Are NOT Democratic

February 20, 2024 Ed Mosca

There are certain prerequisites to a functional democracy. Among these are limiting the vote to only legitimate voters, ensuring that the vote-count is legitimate, having an election-day as opposed to “early voting” for weeks prior to when the actual election is supposed to take place, and not allowing local election offices to be used as get-out-the-vote tools for the Party in power.

Biden Inc. Appeals the Ban on Feds Colluding With Big Tech to Censor Americans

July 8, 2023 Steve MacDonald

In celebration of American Independence, a Louisiana Judge blocked the Feds from colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans on social media. This was meant to stop the FBI, CIA, CDC, and others from pressuring the platforms to remove content at their discretion. Biden Inc. was not amused.

Joe Gets Busted Destroying Free Speech

How does a person who is so feeble and lacking enough cognitive activity to complete a sentence cause so much damage to our fundamental rights and freedoms?

Federal Judge to Deep State – No More Telling Big Tech Who to Censor

July 5, 2023 Steve MacDonald

“A federal judge has made a historic ruling by partially granting an injunction that blocks various Biden administration officials and government agencies like the Justice Department and the FBI from working with big tech firms to censor posts on social media.”

One of the Nuanced Meanings of the Word ‘Meta’ Is ‘Between.’ As in I Am between Jobs Because I Just Got Fired from Meta.

March 16, 2023 Steve MacDonald

A Labrador sheds twice a year, so the saying goes—January to June and July to December. Facebook, now doing business as Meta, is trying to shed more than labs, only it’s not hair; it is employees.

Big Tech DEI is Starting to D.I.E.

February 26, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Since the dawning of 2022, the Tech sector has shed over a quarter million jobs (233,000), and the bleeding isn’t about to stop. And while I hate to see folks lose a job, two things about this still amuse me.

Data Point – Big Tech Hates Republicans

December 8, 2022 Skip

Silicon Valley and its ilk have long left their more libertarian ideas behind and are solidly behind the more autocratic and Collectivist Party…but you knew that already, didn’t you? Well, here’s some quantification of your belief in that: (H/T: Powerline)

Democrats in the Government “Admit” to Censoring You Online

December 3, 2022 Steve MacDonald

No one should be surprised by this headline. We’ve all likely experienced this. The progs in Big Tech “take issue” with your content. And getting tagged, flagged, gagged, tossed “in jail,” or de-platformed by a “private company” is one thing, but what if it was at the direction of the Feds?

Big Tech Get’s Spanked in Texas

September 18, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Big Tech (Google, Facebook, Twitter) has been having its way with the law. On the one hand, they can’t be held accountable for anything published on their platforms, while on the other, they can unpublish whatever they want in the name of accountability. They claim the First Amendment protects this behavior.

Raced-Based College Scholarships From Tech Giant Google Are Probably Illegal

August 24, 2022 Op-Ed

For our friends on the left, attitudes toward race have apparently come full circle. It wasn’t that long ago, less than a decade perhaps, that the mere suggestion of a major corporation openly discriminating against prospective candidates for scholarships and fellowships based on their race would have been denounced from every angle of the political spectrum.

It’s Time To Tame Big Tech

June 24, 2022 Op-Ed

Big Tech has spent years silencing and censoring conservative voices. There is little debate about that – and there is mounting proof, even if anecdotal, in the latest Twitter saga.

Little Hitlers Purifying the “Intellectual” Dogma

June 16, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Obama’s EPA hackarina, Gina McCarthy, serves as a climate advisor for the Bidenistas. Not the economic climate nor the international. And not the broken border (that’s Kamala). Baby Formula Czar? Nope. She’s Biden’s Climate cult Torquemada and wants her big tech inquisitors cut your tongue out.

What is the Penalty for Stealing 10 Million Dollars?

February 6, 2022 Op-Ed

We saw the damage done when Big Tech takes sides. When Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram decided what content was to be seen by their millions of users, they influenced a Presidential election.

It seems that DISQUS is showing its Big Tech side to us all – Apologies to some Commenters

October 16, 2021 Skip

Hi folks! And especially to some of our Commenters – apologies. It seems that DISQUS has been taking what *I* think are relatively benign comments and put them into “NEEDS MODERATION” or were labeled as “SPAM” for no good reason at all. I’m just shaking my head – I’ve not seen this before since switching … Read more

Quick Takes – Hat Trick
