Google, owned by the same parent company as YouTube, is arguably the most influential social media company in the world, with a power to affect the public dialogue across the globe in ways unimaginable just a handful of years ago. The question is now being asked: Is Google flexing its muscles to do just that? Conservatives have pointed to mounting evidence that Google is waging war on them. They’ll cite everything from YouTube banishing conservatives for espousing their beliefs, to Google partnering with left-wing organizations to disparage conservative thought itself. All along, Google has issued bizarre, barely understandable statements denying...

A video posted to right-wing media site Breitbart showed Google executives bemoaning the election of President Trump at a company meeting in 2016. Wednesday’s release of the leaked video is the latest volley in an expanding campaign by Republicans and allies in the media to demonstrate that Google and other Silicon Valley firms are biased against conservatives. Last week, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he will meet with Republican state attorneys general this month to discuss whether social media companies are stifling conservative voices. Google has come under increased scrutiny in recent weeks since Trump accused the company of...

It can be watched in full at Breitbart who say “It can and should be watched in full in order to get the full context of the meeting and the statements made News virtually impossible to suppress: Even with all its political power and might over largely unsuspecting masses, Tech giant Google cannot steal elections. That is what the recorded video gone viral is now showing the entire digital world.

Someone leaked to Breitbart an hour-long video of an “all hands” Google meeting that was held just after the 2016 election. The video features Google’s co-founder, Sergei Brin, its CEO, Sundar Pichai, and numerous other high-ranking “Googlers” speaking in turn about the election’s tragic outcome. It is stunning. All of the speakers express grief over Donald Trump’s election. All of the speakers assume that every Google employee is a Democrat and is stunned and horrified that Hillary Clinton–the worst and most corrupt presidential candidate in modern history–lost. There is much discussion about what Google can do to reverse the benighted...

We live in very interesting times ladies and gents, and today there were 2 major news-related events, which made my skin crawl. And I am very serious about this, because both “happenings” are going to influence our lives in a significant way for the years to come. If nothing changes, the ‘interwebz’ as we know it will never be the same. And we’ll all be forced to go on the dark side of the web, where there are cookies and malware. First, it was that neo-communist structure, also known as the European Parliament, passing what has been mildly described as...

The European Parliment has passed a controversial copyright directive that contains provisions which force tech giants to install content filters and sets in place a potential tax on hyperlinking. The bill was passed in a final vote of 438 – 226 and will need to be implemented by individual EU member states. Critics of the directive have been laser-focused on two key provisions: Articles 11 and 13, which they have dubbed the “link tax” and “upload filter.” "The most important parts of this are Articles 11 and 13. Article 11 is intended to give publishers and papers a way to...

When you watch the news about these storms, they always hype it up such that you'd think everyone in the hemisphere has five minutes to live. I don't want to minimize the severity of the storm, but I like to have a better perspective on how bad it actually is. To accomplish this, I avoid the news and use the snapchat app. After opening the app, you can "squeeze" the screen by putting two fingers near opposing edges of the screen and pull them together to make a map appear. (Sometimes I get a search screen instead, so I close...

Robert Mueller and his staff may be covering up the biggest act of espionage in the United States since the acquisition of atomic secrets by the Russians at the start of the Cold War. Mueller is supposed to be investigating what the Russian hackers called "Fancy Bear" did during the 2016 election. However, he continues to ignore an Associated Press expose indicating Fancy Bear focused on non-partisan email users including defense industry employees and those in the intelligence community. According to the AP, Department of Justice employees were aware of what Fancy Bear was doing, but didn't warn those whose...

If you were wondering what’s wrong with our society, today we’ve just find the answer. Maybe. The thing is, I’ve always suspected that too much technology is going to alienate people and, after a while, totally obliterate what makes us human. And what makes us human after all? Well, maybe the fact that we’re very social and also very smart creatures, who used to enjoy other people’s company. Let me explain: this is not a myth, but God’s honest truth: back in the day, when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth freely (like in the eighties), people used to enjoy other...
