Mark Zuckerberg may have to make room for Google’s C.E.O Sundar Pichai to answer some questions before Congress about his own sabotaging of conservatives. Some conservatives are reacting by pulling out of social media giants like Facebook, Google, and Twitter and starting their own alternatives while others, like Ben Shapiro, say that isn’t the answer to a bigger problem.
The latest information about Google’s activities comes with the release of information as part of James Damore’s labor complaint against Google. Damore made the news when he was fire for circulating an internal memo that criticized the company’s diversity program.
Doyle Alexander of en-volve.com reported on Google’s practices saying:
“Yesterday, we reported that Google cautions many of its managers against rewarding behavior that caters the values of white-male dominant culture, including meritocracy, individual achievement and avoiding conflict.”
The bias against conservatives is not confined to the boardrooms and break rooms of Silicon Valley but rather is a systemic prevailing progressive culture that dictates how everyone working there thinks and acts.
It isn’t just Breitbart and Fox News that have been hit by the effects of widespread tinkering with Google Searches, Facebook comments, and Tweets of those with a conservative agenda. Doubtless, Google has been stealthy working to silence the content of American Liberty Report. There is no question that Google’s Gmail has been registering email from us as SPAM and not delivering it when there have been no SPAM complaints.
In the wake of President Trump’s election, Google and the other social media giants are cracking down on “fake news” and more than disproportionately on conservative news. Some see a conspiracy to snuff out conservative thought but the more likely answer can be seen in who makes up the rank and file of companies like Google. All the major social media sites are staffed overwhelmingly with young non-conservatives who, according to Alexander, “have no objective frame of reference when it comes to the news business.”
As a result, Google’s algorithm is biased to attached fact-checks from leftist sites like PolitiFact and Snopes, produce more pro-Clinton results than pro-Trump results in news searches, and prevent searches for online shopping for guns.
Google’s bias against Christians is seen in the absence of even the slightest recognition of Easter while its popular “doodles” feature everything from Earth Day to Frida Kahlo, a celebrated communist Mexican artist. The innocuous doodles routinely feature left-wing icons and issues.
That there’s a leftist bias against President Trump and conservatives at the social media giants is undeniable. Noting that Twitter has no problem with banning pro-Trump accounts, James O’Keefe tweeted that one of his unwitting sources said:
You look for Trump, or America, and you have like five thousand keywords to describe a redneck. Then you look and parse all the messages, all the pictures, and then you look for stuff that matches that stuff.
One of the revelations about Google is that one of the company’s senior software engineers, Alon Altman, pushed for the company to sabotage President Trump’s Android phone. An Altman Google internal memo called for Google to use the “full economic force [of] Google for good”, and delete the Gmail accounts of Trump, his administration, and his aides for “abuse.”
Doyle Alexander of enVolve reports that Altman has been identified as one of the “key architects of political discrimination at Google” by a whistleblower. The whistleblower told Breitbart News:
“This is the individual who publicly posted that, if the author of the Google Memo (Damore) wasn’t summarily fired, then she would quit. Alon is one of the many people who gloated about the departure of one of the dissidents at Google.”
Ben Shapiro finds much to fear in some of the things Mark Zuckerberg has said and written. One of the things the founder of Facebook told Congress is that Facebook should favor content that is “broadly trusted” over lesser known sources. Then the always insightful Shapiro asks: “How does Facebook determine whether a source is ‘broadly trusted’?”
The simple answer to many is “Build your own social media website and compete with them.” But as John Hawkins notes Google, Facebook, and Twitter are bankrolled with billions of dollars and have a monopolistic control of their markets. He believes the only answer is government regulation – something conservative want less of not more.
