Who Will Google Silence Next?

Post by Joe in PB »


Google and YouTube dominate internet search with over 75% of the market. If you disappear on Google, your ability to voice your opinion disappears too. PragerU is an educational non-profit that has had over 40 of their videos restricted by YouTube. That’s why they have recently filed a lawsuit against the tech giant. This is not just about PragerU being silenced - it’s about the targeting of dissenting opinions. Tomorrow it could be your point of view that is silenced.
Restricting PragerU videos on history and political science because they are not appropriate for a young audience? Obvious bullshit. PragerU isn't swimming along with the mainstream media. 90%+ of which are owned by only six corporations. So they are being censored by Google and Youtube. What's next, the Republican party censored? Our Constitutional rights are being undermined.

Google is the most important information tool available. If access to information is being censored, large corporations and the wealthiest have more influence on our government by promoting negative agendas, like open borders, not enforcing immigration laws, and zero tolerance to contrasting expressed views and opinions .

You mean like the ones backing PragerU?
Two of PragerU's largest donors are the hydraulic fracturing billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks.[6] Two members of the Wilks family are on PragerU's board.[6] The second-largest donor is the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.[4][16] Other donors include the Morgan Family Foundation, Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund, Donors Trust, and the Minnesota-based Sid and Carol Verdoorn Foundation, led by former C.H. Robinson CEO Sid Verdoorn.[16]

The organization has a $10 million annual budget, of which it spends more than 40% on marketing.

I like this one...
In August 2018, when asked to comment, PragerU criticized YouTube for adding fact-checks to YouTube videos which cover climate change.

Then YouTube should be eliminating most of the Climate Change videos (which they aren't.) Facts on either side are few and far between.

YouTube can run whatever they want. So can PragerU.

At least YouTube doesn't claim to be a "University."

Of course they can. However, when they selectively enforce their "standards" it lets those who are paying attention know that they want to stifle certain voices/opinions.

How do you know what their "standards" are?

YouTube doesn't even claim to be "news." Faux News does. Why aren't you clamoring for an opportunity for liberal rebuttals of Hannity and little Tucker?

Google and Facebook are both in violation of Sherman antitrust, but none of the crony capitalists give a shit about Sherman until their ox gets gored.

I am basing that on what you quoted. The part saying they were fact checking Climate Change videos. And no, I am not clamoring for a liberal rebuttal of anything on Fox News. That is already out there in the form of MSNBC and CNN. Just as I am not clamoring for a conservative rebuttal to anything on those networks.

The videos I link to I agree with, but that's not to say I agree with all PragerU videos.

I've seen some interesting stuff about questionable events on YouTube by reputable sources, then they are restricted not long after, unavailable.

If there is nothing to these videos, why restrict them? Let them fail on there own accord.

What I know is the American people were lied to about the JFK assassination. If LHO was the lone gunman, why re-classify all the files on the case that were to be unclassified in 2017?

Obviously there is more to the story, a story that appears to be a coup d'etat. The organization's involved didn't just retire, they're still in play today.

I served my country and love the US, but after GWB went into Iraq unjustified, I've started to look at recent events with a different eye. Some of those things are strange indeed.

The problem I have with Google and YouTube censorship is where can information and events concerning questionable government activities be read, or viewed and discussed?

Right now the choices are becoming fewer.

Read Michael Collins Piper's "Final Judgement" for your answer to that question.
