I wonder how many people are building bombs in their basement right now. If I worked for Ceusescu/Google I'd fucking quit. They can't bounce back from this and no matter how much money they have I bet within 3 years we're going to see a very different version of Ceausescu/Google. This puts Erich Schmidt next to Soros on the world's list of must-be-gones.
It was just reported that Google/Alphabet and Facebook were going to be clamping down on so-called “fake” news sites.
Like clockwork, floating around on the Internet now is a list of these “fake” sites authored by Melissa Zimdars, assistant professor of Media and Communications at Merrimack College.
It just so happens to include almost every major alternative news site you can imagine.
She has deemed all of these sites as “false, misleading, clickbait-y, and/or satirical ‘news’ sources”.
This list, she claims, is for educational purposes only (think about what viewpoint those college students are paying to be taught), but it is being shared everywhere including by the LA Times like it’s an authoritative list from a valid, vetted, unbiased source.
While it is being reported that google will do something about "fake" news sites this list was created by a college professor with zero connect to google.
I've still been using google, but I won't any more.. I am guessing their censoring is only going to get worse until it can hardly be classified as a search engine any more, and more as a "ministry of truth search engine"
I guess I will use duckduckgo I guess.. I don't want to use any thing that pulls results from google I suppose..
This really is a battle for peoples' minds.. The global elite are trying to make it so even if an SJW hypothetically wants to start educating them selves and turn off the TV MSM and try to find out news from the internet, they will just be getting biased stories that confirm to them that the MSM was "true" because google is going to censor all of the alternative-media and leave only the MSM-type sites at the top of the search results..
The list includes well known and frequented sites, such as Prisonplanet/Infowars, Breitbart, LewRockwell, The Free Thought Project, Natural News, The Daily Sheeple, and ZeroHedge (which has the highest "fake" rating of 4).
Activist sites like Projectveritas are also labeled as "fake". I'm honestly surprised that sites like Techdirt & the EFF didn't make the list of "fake" news sites too.
I can't express how disgusting and manipulative this behavior is. I will even go so far as to say that maybe some regulation is in order, so that censorship such as this is prevented. It would have to be carefully crafted, but i feel that this should somehow be prevented by law.
In the meantime, this, this, this, and this, amount to a helpful list of sites i might not have frequented but should.

I hope Shitlord Putin applies sanctions for human right violations (censoring of political dissent).

time for conservatives to boycott google. Hopefully these places diversified enough of their platform so they didn't depend entirely on google.

Thanks for posting, this is disconcerting.

Do not use any google product. Even using other corporate resources is better than a monopoly. There is always an alternative.

vimeo is next best thing, otherwise just use adblock on youtube at the very least

Use DuckDuckGo to search. For YT en Soundcloud as well, as you can watch it/listen to it privately from this site.

Sometimes i use Google, when i want a more sophisticated query answered. I'm not so sure it's a good idea anymore, at all.
Mad_Dog91 ago
To be fair, many of those sites are indeed trash

I don't think infowars is meant to be taken seriously. Also the liberty themed websites on there are an issue.
