Net Neutrality – Because ‘They’ Want To Bring It Back!

When the Trump administration encouraged the FCC to pull the plug on a Government regulated internet, they did just that. They got the government out of your “digital bedroom.” The usual suspects were outraged. But you don’t want the government regulating the internet like a utility. Not under any condition. And that includes crafting new regulations to control how entities like Google or Facebook or Twitter behave in the free market.

Let the marketplace work it out because it will.

Google – All in for Hillary? No – anybody / thing that’s NOT on the Right

Powerline has the right of it: “IT’S OFFICIAL: GOOGLE IS A DEMOCRATIC PARTY FRONT

Well!  It seems that all of Google were crying in their cups when Trump “stole” the Presidency from Hillary (“Not fair, it was HER turn and we were ALL with HER!”).  Brietbart got ahold of their TGIF video held after the election and it is clear that they aren’t happy.  This is not news to a lot of us that follow this kind of stuff – Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chair, made no secret of supporting Obama to the max and many of Google’s (and other Silicon Valley companies) engineers took “Sabbaticals” to staff up his and Hillary’s campaign tech crews (in addition to doing a bunch of spin-offs in the same vein).

This shows the ideological bent of these folks back in 2016 and we knew it existed well before that. The highly publicized event of a Google Engineer, James Damore, who was fired simply for questioning Google’s diversity policies really started to wake up us “non-WOKE” folks along with the documented results of biased searches (as well as the demonitization or outright shutting down of various YouTube conservative channels (which is owned by Google)). What transpired before is now coming to screens near you.

Time to start thinking of Google and Youtube and the rest of them (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) as the online version of the Left’s Antifa?  SILENCE!!!

Who knows how long this video will stay up on YouTube…

A bit more from the Brietbart post gives a better quick taste – you DO want to at least scan through it (emphasis mine):

I Have A Question For Google And Twitter

I have a question about “the Russians” trying to overturn our “democracy” by posting fake news on websites – as leftists and the liberal fake news media claim they did in 2016.

“By now, we know these fake accounts helped influence the latest U.S. presidential election. Automated bot accounts made up 18 percent of Twitter’s traffic related to the 2016 election, according to researchers, and these bots overwhelmingly pushed messages in favor of now President Donald Trump. At least a third of pro-Trump tweets during the election came from bots, and half of Trump’s most engaged Twitter followers are bots.”

If it isn’t on “google”…….

Some guy on Facebook was berating me because, instead of simply asking the Attorney General’s himself office for copies of the recently released NH Senate investigation transcripts, the fact he couldn’t “google” them meant they didn’t exist.  He even suggested I might have made the whole thing up. So, for any of you who also … Read more

If the Internet is a ‘Public Utility’ You Can’t Just Ban Alex Jones

I don’t pay any attention to Alex Jones. It’s not a value judgment he’s just not anywhere in my top-ten, twenty, or perhaps even 100 (500?) political talkers, writers, or thinkers for whom I make time. I am aware of him but not overly familiar.

Others think he’s the bee’s knees. I’m not here to tell you one way or another, but recent actions by social media tech giants against Mr. Jones have demonstrated another potential layer of liberal hypocrisy worthy of our exploration.

Intellectually, I knew this happens but to see it is another thing

…to actually see it on screen. I went to look for an image (DuckDuckGo doesn’t do the best of jobs for that so I picked Google) and after creating a new tab, this showed up: A bit too connected for my liking – the first three were cell phone calls I placed this afternoon while … Read more

No, Google isn’t biased against conservatives. It just calls the GOP Nazis

Google calls CA GOP Nazis
To be precise, it was the California GOP (not exactly the MOST conservative of state-level GOP organizations) that Google labeled as Nazis:

Less than a week before the California primary, Google listed “Nazism” as the ideology of the California Republican Party.

In the “knowledge panel” that provides easy access to information next to search results, Google was showing “Nazism” as an “ideology” of the party as of Thursday morning. The word “Nazism” was hyperlinked to a secondary page that shows “Nazism” alongside other “ideologies” of California Republicans like “Conservatism,” “Market liberalism,” “Fiscal conservatism,” and “Green conservatism.”

Google, is this a form of “evil”? Or is elevation of the political over religion “not evil”?

Update:  Sometimes we do clash on topics (great minds and all that); Grokster Steve posted on this as well – PLEASE read his post as well!

Today is Easter, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Google is well known for celebrating certain days with their “doodle art” when you go to their home page – and some of it is quite clever.  Today, for the billions of Christians celebrate their holiest of remembrances, do you think that Google just might acknowledge that?  Well, you tell me?

Easte r2013 -GoogleHas Cesar Chavez Not Jeasus

No, I’m not sure that it it “outright” evil (Google’s motto is “Don’t be evil” but has come under great  criticism lately for seemingly skirting that when it comes to profit making) but amidst rumors that Google might be playing games politically with the results of its searches when it comes to conservative vs progressive issues, this doesn’t optic well.

Eric Schmidt, the former head of Google is buddy-buddy with Obama (which shows his political leanings) and is an avowed Greenie (hates fossil energy companies).  His former company, Google,

Cesar Chavez…More Important than Easter?

Today is Easter Sunday.  Whether you are into the religious significance or not, it is a long celebrated holiday by a large number of people on the planet.  The Eggs and bunny thing is certainly a feature of the modern holiday and a noted aspect throughout Europe for centuries, with or without Jesus.  So why did Google, the most invasive Internet presence on the entire planet, decide to use their Google ‘Doodle’ to celebrate…the birth of Cesar Chavez?

Don’t they know about Easter?

Google Gives Us A Hint About Warrentless Electronic Searches

 

shhh

From CNET

Google today became the first Internet company to shed light on a highly secret — and controversial — warrantless electronic data-gathering technique used by the FBI.

The technique allows FBI officials to send a secret request to Web and telecommunications companies requesting “name, address, length of service,” and other information about users as long as it’s relevant to a national security investigation. No court approval is necessary, and disclosing the existence of the FBI’s request is not permitted.

Google’s admission, part of its transparency policy, could not include specific details, but they did say this much.
