Read Replies (2) | Respond to Brumar, you really need to open your mind on this. It is not a myth. It's happening in a pervasive manner now. My own father experienced it, when he commented on one of Trump's tweets and he said nothing offensive. It's flat out censorship of conservative speech. Here's another example. I watched this guy in real time get punished by Google for expressing his opinion that social media companies are censoring and are engaging in bias. He was interviewed, I read the interview yesterday, and then today I see that Google put him on Administrative Leave. This is punishment of a whistleblower. It's a textbook case. I actually agree with you that some of the blowhards that social media has banned or censored deserved it. And frankly, extremists on the left and right really turn me off. I'm much more of a moderate and centrist on most issues, except the economy. But now, the liberal bias and censorship has gone mainstream and has all the earmarks of a propaganda war. Something must be done. If this continues, the liberals will win the White House and all of Congress. I don't really fear that. What I fear more is that if they win through this method, they will destroy forever our freedom of speech and all debate on their policies will cease. Then we will slide into totalitarianism. That is the recipe and it happens over and over. You must see that. If you can't see that, then I don't see any hope of any liberal seeing that. Of all the liberals I talk to, there was a time when you seemed more centrist. I'm not sure why Trump has pushed you so far left, but on this issue, I can't believe you don't see it.Google Places Whistleblowing Engineer On Administrative Leave hours after Project Veritas NewsBusters . we are "at a really important point in human history," where "we have to just decide now that we kind of are seeing tech use its power to manipulate people."It’s a time to decide, you know, do we run the technology, does the technology run us? " asks Coppola. the vast majority of people think that if something is higher rated on Google Search than another story, that it would be more important and more correct . And you know, we haven’t had time to absorb the fact that tech might have an agenda . I mean, it’s something that we’re only starting to talk about now."Google has chastised those employees who have gone against its agenda. In 2017, Google fired engineer James Damore after he wrote a memo about the company’s “ideological echo chamber.” In 2019, Republican engineer Mike Wacker was fired after he complained about the hostile attitude in the corporate culture toward conservatives. - NewsBusters BuzzFeed With employees organizing sit-ins over retaliation and continuing to agitate for change, Google is locking down internal communications. Google’s top legal executive, Kent Walker, sent an all-staff email Thursday informing employees that accessing documents classified as “need to know” without permission could result in termination , sources inside the company tell BuzzFeed News. In the past, Google has had a reputation for openness, allowing employees wide access to documents and source code regardless of their job assignment. Now, following leaks about products in China and partnerships with the US military , as well as employee efforts to change the company’s policies on forced arbitration, workplace sexual misconduct , and benefits for contract workers, Google is tightening the reins . - BuzzFeed VIDEO
