Why Google Is the New Evil Empire

[robbylove]

I'd love to move away from Google but they are just so dang good at search.  I'm going to try Ecosia as others have suggested.  I really don't like how friendly Google is with the US government.  Get one huge powerful entity in bed with another and nothing good will come of it.  Maybe we should list alternatives to Google.

A list of big IT Corps not in bed with the gov? Don't forget most of the new players, Google, Facebook etc, became huge under obama in the last 8 years. I remember no one complaining about Google Boss visiting the White House.

This thread is focusing on Google but it applies to all of them. No escape.

It was the Obama administration that woke me up from my slumber and got me watching these things.  It's when I started to realize I wasn't a 'republican' and more of a libertarian... and the Trump administration and more importantly the current republican congress has convinced me of that fact.  It feels like we're getting squeezed between huge corporations and an overactive government.

Everything is based on action and reaction. A pendulum of energy. We do not have enough of a perspective to understand the big picture, but there is always a reaction. Why do you think people like us are on a forum about this amazing magic internet money? Why do you think so many people from so many diverse horizons are here? Action and reaction. Some are here for the love, others for the hate of Bitcoin. Think about the timing. The uni party is not going to let that big cheese go. That is why they hate Trump. They hate the common little peasants as much, maybe more. We have to be ready because they will not let us use their platform in 2018 or 2020, the tools Trump used to win.

This is a glimpse of what's to come.

because they've become so big that most of the people rely on their products and with that they have to power to influence and push various propaganda to the masses and people are just too dependent on them with youtube, google as a search engine,... similar to facebook, people just don't want to switch to another platform just because.

Has anybody read the actual memo that started the controversy?  I mean the actual memo, not someone's analysis of it.  I read it and I can't understand why he was fired.  Google's reaction to this is very concerning; they've essentially proved his very point.

"Google’s left bias has created a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence. This silence removes any checks against encroaching extremist and authoritarian policies."

Google CEO: ‘Harmful’ James Damore Manifesto Hurt Employees, Made Them ‘Feel Judged’


Google CEO Sundar Pichai defended the dismissal of former Google employee James Damore in a blog post on Tuesday, where he called Damore’s manifesto “harmful.”

“First, let me say that we strongly support the right of Googlers to express themselves, and much of what was in that memo is fair to debate, regardless of whether a vast majority of Googlers disagree with it,” Pichai opined in the blog post. “However, portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.”

“To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK. It is contrary to our basic values and our Code of Conduct, which expects ‘each Googler to do their utmost to create a workplace culture that is free of harassment, intimidation, bias and unlawful discrimination,'” he continued.

Pichai then claimed that the manifesto “clearly impacted our co-workers, some of whom are hurting and feel judged based on their gender,” and added, “Our co-workers shouldn’t have to worry that each time they open their mouths to speak in a meeting, they have to prove that they are not like the memo states, being ‘agreeable’ rather than ‘assertive,’ showing a ‘lower stress tolerance,’ or being ‘neurotic.'”

Diamond and Silk rip YouTube, say 95% of videos demonetized over Trump support

Two of President Trump’s most ardent supporters, the YouTube stars known as Diamond and Silk, say a financial stranglehold has been placed on their videos.

Lynnette Hardway and Rochelle Richardson of North Carolina, whose support of Mr. Trump and no-nonsense delivery during the 2016 U.S. presidential season turned them into online sensations, said Thursday their YouTube videos have become casualties of the company’s attempt to silence “extremism.”

“@YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped over 95% percent of our videos from being monetized, stating: ‘It’s Not Suitable For All Advertisers,’” the two said in a series of tweets. “Wonder if @YouTube @TeamYouTube stopped the monetization of our videos because we are loyal supporters of the @POTUS. Hummmm. Sounds like Censorship to us, which is a Violation of our First Amendment. A Bias Method used to Silence our Conservative Voices. @YouTube, how was it OK to monetize our videos for the past two years and now those same videos are no longer eligible for monetization?”

The popular duo, who were also paid $1,275 for “field consulting” work by the Trump campaign, boast 89,000 subscribers on YouTube and another 361,000 on Twitter.

News of the largely demonetized channel comes less than two weeks since the company announced plans to fight inappropriate content.

“We’ll soon be applying tougher treatment to videos that aren’t illegal but have been flagged by users as potential violations of our policies on hate speech and violent extremism,” the company announced Aug. 1 on its official blog. “If we find that these videos don’t violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state

This is the thing that gets me.  He's stating scientific facts that are proven today, and have been proven for centuries.  He's not saying women have no right to be engineers, he's just saying men are more likely to strive for status type positions.  We're truly loosing our minds; we're choosing peoples emotions over truth.  What's next... people getting fired because they say men are better at growing mustaches than women?  I've seem some women with pretty healthy mustaches but that doesn't disprove the prior comment, nor does it make me hateful.

Men with beards are more likely to be sexist.


Despite the recent popularity of beards, facial hair can be controversial: as we’ve previously shown, it makes men less likely to get hired and more likely to be seen as guilty by a jury. Well, all you beard-haters out there, here’s some more ammunition for you. In this study, researchers surveyed men from the USA and India on both their facial hair and their attitudes towards women. They found that men with beards were more likely to be sexist, and they hypothesized that men who have sexist attitudes choose to grow beards to make them look more masculine and dominant. Nice try, Santa Claus.

Well... there you go.  We truly are driving over the cliff as a society.  The world is so full of micro-transgressions that it's impossible to do anything without being accused of something.

Google Removes Gab’s Android App From Play Store Over ‘Hate Speech’



Gab.ai CEO Andrew Torba took to Twitter Thursday evening to report the social media platform’s Andriod app was removed from the Google Play Store.

-------------------------
Smells more like anti competition than hate speech. Twtr is full of porn and yet Apple got rid of Gab... for porn.

It means the creature is afraid of losing control of its centralized control.

everything was created with corresponding advantages and disadvantages...
But since we are human and being gifted with wisdom then all we need to do is use that wisdom..
You can see if something has an evil effect to you without anyone telling you so...
So if you feel like something's wrong with then stop using it...

[xrates]

Every big company was called evil empire - now it is Google, before that it was Microsoft.

There is anti monopoly legislation to take care of the monopolists.

[mvidetto]

I don't mind if it knows and sees my personal info till Google doesn't use it again me. I found really annoying the fact Google service controls advertising data, it makes me mad sometimes and suspicious the way they try to convince me to buy smth, read smth, watch smth.

[Palmerson]

Google is a company that fit into all the secret corners of our lives. Who loves this? Google has become a total spy who gathers information about us even without our knowledge and no one knows where and to whom this information can get. Google is evil on a global scale.

They're using the Google javascript capcha system where you have to click to identify parts of images when you login to this forum now!

People need to say no to Google!

Are you sure your data is not traded by google? There is not enough strong evidence that google does not sell our personal data.
