In 2012, Epstein publicly disputed with Google Search over a security warning placed on links to his website.[10] His website, which features mental health screening tests, was blocked for serving malware that could infect visitors to the site. Epstein emailed "Larry Page, Google's chief executive; David Drummond, Google's legal counsel; Epstein's congressman; and journalists from The New York Times, The Washington Post, Wired, and Newsweek."[10] In it, Epstein threatened legal action if the warning concerning his website was not removed, and denied that any problems with his website existed.[10] Several weeks later, Epstein admitted his website had been hacked, but still criticized Google for tarnishing his name and not helping him find the infection.

...

The Los Angeles Times reported in March 2019 that Epstein's criticism of Google had been "warmly embraced" by conservative sources, a phenomenon that Epstein said "is driving me crazy".[24]

sure they do. Dems voted in Obama for "public option", got ACA, because BigPharma/BigInsurance PREFERRED against public option, as they do now against Medicare-for-all.

a majority of Repug voters support DACA, a path to citizenship, same-sex marriage, and are OK with abortion, etc. they get nothing

Repugs scream for immigration reform for 15+ years, they get nothing.

yes, mfr'd consent is real, with BigCorp media helping,

but see the Princeton oligarchy report that claimed voters got about 1% of their preferences, why the oligarchy(BigDonor) got 99%. Even if it's 5/95, the point is valid.

Hours after 'denouncing' racism, Trump amplifies views of two other white supremacists (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/8/6/1877190/-Hours-after-denouncing-racism-Trump-amplifies-views-of-two-other-white-supremacists)

former Google engineer Kevin Cernekee (white supremacist No. 2),

who is making the rounds of fringe media such as Fox News to claim that he has been discriminated against (https://gizmodo.com/trump-boosts-fired-google-engineer-who-proposed-richard-1836987802) because he's a conservative Trump supporter.

Cernekee told Dobbs that Google executives "want to use all the power and all the resources that they have to control the flow of information to the public and make sure that Trump loses in 2020."

That really stuck with Trump; he went to bed thinking about it and then resumed tweeting (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1158706056677199874) about it through the morning.

Cernekee was fired because

he kept sharing white supremacist kinds of things on Google's employee message boards.

Such as how he wanted his co-workers to join him in raising funds

for the "bounty" on the guy who sucker-punched (https://time.com/4642117/richard-spencer-punched-white-nationalist-nazi-trump-inauguration/) fellow white supremacist Richard Spencer on Trump's inauguration day.

In other internal message board conversations,

Cernekee defended two neo-Nazi groups, the Traditionalist Workers Party and the Golden State Skinheads.

He said the latter group "stood up for free speech and free association" and

suggested that they merely have a branding problem because they call themselves "skinheads."

said in these work discussion boards that they should rebrand as the "Helpful Neighborhood Bald Guys"

they should also "form alliances with other supporters of liberty and civil rights."

The GSS has branding problems beyond its name: It uses Nazi iconography (https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/golden-state-solidarity) as its identifying symbols.

that's who Trump chose to promote on his Twitter feed Monday night.

It didn't take him any time to get over the deaths of more than 20 people in Texas at the hands of a killer who told the world he was motivated by racist hate and

get right back to his favorite hobby: fomenting that racist hate.

WSJ investigation finds bias for big businesses, against subscription model competitors and, yeah, blacklists:


Despite maintaining in Congressional testimony that it doesn’t use blacklists, the WSJ account found that Google does. Google tries to wiggle around this apparent contradiction by relying on a narrow interpretation of what constitutes a “political” blacklist:

Google’s first blacklists date to the early 2000s, when the company made a list of spam sites that it removed from its index, one of those people said. This means the sites wouldn’t appear in search results.

Engineers known as “maintainers” are authorized to make and approve changes to blacklists. It takes at least two people to do this; one person makes the change, while a second approves it, according to the person familiar with the matter.

The Journal reviewed a draft policy document from August 2018 that outlines how Google employees should implement an anti-misinformation blacklist aimed at blocking certain publishers from appearing in Google News and other search products. The document says engineers should focus on “a publisher misrepresenting their ownership or web properties” and having “deceptive content”—that is, sites that actively aim to mislead—as opposed to those that have inaccurate content.

“The purpose of the blacklist will be to bar the sites from surfacing in any Search feature or news product sites,” the document states.https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2019/11/blockbuster-wsj-investigation-how-google-interferes-with-its-search-algorithms-and-changes-your-results.html

I was expecting them to take it seriously,” he said.

“It was obvious they thought it was a P.R. problem, not a business problem, and they thought the P.R. problem was me.”

McNamee hasn’t spoken to Sandberg or Zuckerberg since. (Both declined to comment for this article.)

He now refers to Zuckerberg as an “authoritarian.”

Zuckerberg's wealth gives him enormous power (his control of shares means shareholders and the board can't touch him) but he remains a prick way in over his head. Just listen to his bullshit spewed to Congress.

As long as the ad money $Bs keeps rolling in, FB won't change.

Facebook Has Already Decided How You’re Going To Vote

Facebook is wielding significant power over political discourse in the United States,

thanks to an ad delivery system that reinforces political polarization among users,

Facebook delivers political ads to its users based on the content of those ads and the information the media company has on its users—

and not necessarily based on the audience intended by the advertiser.

“We found that Facebook will disproportionately deliver an ad

to the users who [Facebook] believes agree with the ad, based only on the content,”

its ad delivery system is creating information filter bubbles for its users,

citizens are being served ads that reinforce their existing political beliefs, and

being excluded from seeing ads that challenge those beliefs.

“I don’t think most people understand the level of optimization that’s taking place in online advertising,” he says.

“When Facebook is optimizing ads for relevance,

they’re also optimizing for Facebook’s profit margin.”

in an attempt to optimize the success of the ad,

Facebook’s algorithm is delivering it to people it believes are predisposed to like it.

Such optimization isn’t unique to political ads, Mislove says; it’s likely the same system Facebook uses to determine the relevance of every advertisement on its site.

it is a problem for an ad that’s intended to change the mind of a voter who’s not already on board with the message.

the results illustrate

a broader problem in society today—

the sheer amount of influence that unseen and unregulated algorithms have on everything we do.

there’s very little accountability,

and very little transparency,

about how these algorithms determine what that optimization looks like.

‘Our jaws hit the floor’:

Why a shocking new report on cellphone tracking is absolutely terrifying

an investigation into smartphone tracking based on a data set with over

50 billion location pings from the devices of more than 12 million people in the United States.
The data, from 2016 and 2017, “was provided to Times Opinion by sources who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to share it and could face severe penalties for doing so,” explained reporters Stuart A. Thompson and Charlie Warzel.

“The sources of the information said they had grown alarmed about how it might be abused and urgently wanted to inform the public and lawmakers.”

Clearview has shrouded itself in secrecy, avoiding debate about its boundary-pushing technology. When I began looking into the company in November, its website was a bare page showing a nonexistent Manhattan address as its place of business. The company’s one employee listed on LinkedIn, a sales manager named “John Good,” turned out to be Mr. Ton-That, using a fake name. For a month, people affiliated with the company would not return my emails or phone calls.

While the company was dodging me, it was also monitoring me. At my request, a number of police officers had run my photo through the Clearview app. They soon received phone calls from company representatives asking if they were talking to the media — a sign that Clearview has the ability and, in this case, the appetite to monitor whom law enforcement is searching for.


In addition to Mr. Ton-That, Clearview was founded by Richard Schwartz — who was an aide to Rudolph W. Giuliani when he was mayor of New York — and backed financially by Peter Thiel, a venture capitalist behind Facebook and Palantir.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the only logical explanation I can think of is that you want the Zionist Jews to bring their Messiah (antichrist) cuz you think Jesus is going to return and rapture you?

Thanks for confirming that you're a Christian Zionist :tu

You CLAIM to be aware of the global threat of Zionism yet you're okay going along with Trump's Zionist agenda of passing anti-semitism bills that violate freedom of speech, starting a war with Iran cuz "muh government" says Iran is a terrorist nation, moving the embassy to Jerusalem, the Golam heights, expanding illegal settlements for Israel, etc.

There's only one explanation. You want the Zionists to carry on their evil agenda so Jesus can come and rapture you. Am I right?

If you think these are all conspiracies then you're not woke enough.

You know that 5G's purpose isn't to improve communication speed between us the citizens, right? The big bottleneck to Big Tech's "robot army" before 5G was that previous network technology was too laggy for efficient communication between units (the amount of data a unit needs to function is mindboggling, from facial recognition data to geographic data and so on). If Big Tech tried to deploy their robot thugs within a 4G network, we'd easily be able to outmaneuver them since their communication speeds would just be too slow. Unfortunately, 5G solves that problem. Why do you think they were burning down the towers, bro?

At least 11 TV stations aired an identical segment written and produced by Amazon’s PR team.

Local news stations across the U.S. aired a segment produced and scripted by Amazon which touts the company's role in delivering essential groceries and cleaning products during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its ability to do so while "keeping its employees safe and healthy."

The segment, which was aired by at least 11 local TV stations, and which was introduced with a script written by Amazon and recited verbatim by news anchors, presents a fawning picture of Amazon, which has struggled to deliver essential items during the pandemic, support the sellers that rely on its platform, and provide its workers with the necessary protective equipment. Each anchor introduces the script then throws to an Amazon-produced look "inside" an Amazon fulfillment center, which is narrated by Amazon spokesperson Todd Walker:

"Millions of Americans staying at home are relying on amazon to deliver essentials like groceries and cleaning products during the COVID-19 outbreak.

For the first time we're getting a glimpse *inside* Amazon's fulfillment centers to see just how the company is keeping its employees safe and healthy.. While delivering packages to your doorstep.

Todd Walker takes us inside."

The segment features interviews with Amazon employees who profess to be dedicated to their job.

You know every big company has entire public relations teams devoted to this stuff, right? It's been going on since the invention of the printed press. I understand the desire for more editorial oversight on releases like that but Amazon isn't even among the first 10,000 companies to have their release aired.

A Google spokesperson said in an email that it took action after determining the websites violated its policies on content related to race.

“We have strict publisher policies that govern the content ads can run on and explicitly prohibit derogatory content that promotes hatred, intolerance, violence or discrimination based on race from monetizing," the spokesperson wrote. "When a page or site violates our policies, we take action. In this case, we’ve removed both sites’ ability to monetize with Google.”

Trump and Biden Attack Social Media - By Running Ads on Social Media

In 100 days the U.S. will vote on whether Donald Trump, Joe Biden or somebody else should be America's president. But both candidates are also running political ads attacking social media — on social media (https://apnews.com/1bb971f88772b58490fd534c894b9680).

"They're shooting the messenger while giving it lots of money," reports the Associated Press: Biden has focused on Facebook, with a #MoveFastFixIt campaign that admonishes Facebook for not doing enough to protect users from foreign meddling or being duped by falsehoods, particularly those spread by Trump about mail-in voting. His campaign just last month spent nearly $10,000 to run ads scolding the company on its own platform. "We could lie to you, but we won't," says one of Biden's ads.... Despite criticizing Facebook, Biden's campaign said it's still purchasing millions of dollars in Facebook ads because it's one of the few ways to counter Trump's false posts — since Facebook won't fact check him. The ads are also a cheap and effective way for the campaigns to rally supporters who are unhappy with the platforms, said Kathleen Searles, a Louisiana State University political communications professor. "We do know that anger can be very motivating — it motivates them to get their name on an email list, or donate $20," Searles said...

While Biden has focused on Facebook, Trump has honed in on Twitter, and occasionally Snapchat, with his campaign running online ads that accuse both companies of "interfering" in the election. Twitter became a Trump campaign target after the company rolled out its first fact check of his inaccurate tweet about voting in late May. Twitter has since applied similar labels to five other Trump tweets, including two that called mail-in ballots "fraudulent" and predicted that "mail boxes will be robbed" if voting doesn't take place in person... Republican leaders have since joined in railing against Twitter. This month, Rep. Jim Jordan, a firebrand conservative from Ohio, demanded Twitter hand over a full accounting, including emails, of how it decided to fact check the president...

Facebook could be next for a face-off with the president and his allies now that the company has vowed to label any posts — Trump's included — that violate its rules against voting misinformation or hate speech. Facebook has yet to take such action, though.

"Social media censorship is going to be a very potent campaign issue," Brooking said. "And there's going to be incentive from a number of folks running for office in 2020 to push the envelope still further, to try to invite more and more social media moderation because they see it as a potent political stunt."

Pretty good article by Cory Doctorow on big tech, economic consolidation and free speech.


It’s tempting to simply laugh off these “free market” fetishists as they get their comeuppance when Alex Jones and the Daily Stormer get kicked off the internet, but that is to miss the wider point: we are now in a speech environment where power is so concentrated that the whims of a half-dozen tech execs determine – for all intents and purposes – who may speak and what they may say. If you think that power will only be wielded against Alex Jones, there’s a bunch of trans activists, indigenous activists, anti-pipeline activists, #BlackLivesMatter activists, and others who’d like to have a word with you.

What’s more, this situation is a form of government regulation of speech – even if it doesn’t violate the First Amendment. When the government declines to enforce antitrust laws so the market for speech forums is cornered by a handful of companies, when it creates compliance rules that only these companies can afford, when it fails to build publicly owned alternatives bound by the First Amendment, it is making speech policy. Failing to use your legal powers to prevent Big Tech from gaining a monopoly on speech is a form of action. It’s a policy. It’s a regulation of speech.

When the city council let the No Politics Diner take over your town, even though it’s in their power to stop the takeover, it has the same effect as making an ordinance that says, “No one is permitted to talk politics within a dining establishment” – but without opening the town up to a First Amendment lawsuit.

The world’s governments probably didn’t set out to create a shadow form of speech regulation. Instead, they swallowed a fly (“let’s stop enforcing antitrust law”) and then they swallowed a spider to catch it (“let’s shame and pressure the giant tech companies into policing their users’ speech”) and then a bird to catch the spider (“Automated filters will solve this!”) and now, in the EU, they’re considering swallowing a cat to catch the bird (“What about a tribunal to oversee the filters?”).
It’s time to stop trying to fix the platforms and time to start working on fixing the internet. Even if the “group of five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four” is made more civil and less toxic (it won’t!), we should still demand a better internet. Relying on the noblesse oblige of the perpetual Lords of the internet to manage the digital nervous system of the 21st century would be a bad bet even if these guys weren’t completely ordinary mediocrities who are no more suited to managing the online lives of billions of people than you or I are.

[Winehole23]

A restored internet is one that values pluralism (power diffused into many hands) and self-determination (you get choose which tech you use and how you use it). Achieving a pluralistic internet of technological self-determination will be a long process, but the tools to attain it are well understood:



* Competition law. Ban “mergers to monopoly,” prohibiting dominant firms from merging with their rivals. Ban acquisition of nascent competitors. Prohibit market-cornering (companies can be platforms or they can sell services on those platforms, but not both).



* Pro-competitive rules. Ban binding arbitration in terms of service, so that internet users don’t lose the rights Congress gave them just by visiting a website. Ban non-compete agreements so tech workers can leave their employers when those employers do objectionable things. Require transparency in algorithmic decision-making, including transparency about training data, model tuning, and any special cases the company has added. Reinstate Net Neutrality.

* Pro-user rules. Make it legal to jailbreak the locks on your own devices so you can choose who repairs it, how it’s configured, which apps it runs and which data it shares and with whom. Make it legal to violate terms of service so that you can extract your data, or use a tool that interacts with a service on your behalf (say, a bot that logs into Facebook and fetches your waiting messages and puts them into the inbox on a rival service, from which you can reply to them).

* Undo the damage. Break up the Big Tech companies (and other big companies). Close tax-laws that allow profit-shifting.

* Create a public sphere. Fund municipal fiber networks, nationwide broadband backbones, and public digital spaces that are owned by the public (while you’re at it, ban the state from conducting warrantless online surveillance, including on these services).

Monopoly power abuses businesses and users alike


Why does Facebook enable such scams? It’s simple. The law lets Facebook make a lot of money enabling counterfeiting. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act immunizes Facebook from any consequences for the content of ads bought on their platform; they can’t be sued for facilitating fraud and counterfeiting, so they don’t have any incentive to do anything about it. With no one at Facebook actually paying attention to the scam artists who are buying these ads, scams proliferate.


This dynamic involved something an early 20th century economist named Thorstein Veblen called “Absentee Ownership,” which is when the locus of control and the locus of responsibility are different. Facebook isn’t legally responsible for the consequences of what goes up on its network, but it still has control over what goes up on its network. Meanwhile, Rothy’s has responsibility for its brand, but no control over how Facebook sells advertising by counterfeiters exploiting its brand.

The same incentives apply to Google, which has earned millions of dollars from companies selling fake health care plans (https://www.inquirer.com/health/consumer/google-short-term-health-plans-20190522.html), and has allowed advertisers to put up ads for fake customer service (https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/netflix-customer-service-impersonated-scams-google-bing-ads-n82346) for Netflix as well as fake (https://www.zdnet.com/article/malicious-google-ad-pointed-millions-to-fake-windows-support-scam/) Microsoft Windows support. (Amazon has its own counterfeiting problem, which the Department of Homeland Security noted (https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/20_0124_plcy_counterfeit-pirated-goods-report_01.pdf) awhile back.)



Monopolies are bad, but monopolies who don’t have to take responsibility for what they destroy are even worse.https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/absentee-ownership-how-amazon-facebook

[Winehole23]

This situation reflects the same absentee ownership dynamic on display in the counterfeiting ads enabled by Facebook and Google above. Amazon has control of the Marketplace structure, how consumers buy, and even the inventory of third parties, but it doesn’t have responsibility for any of it. Amazon gets paid whether it makes Zappos a dominant seller or whether it extracts fees from merchants for its warehousing and marketplace services, or whether its algorithm has glitches or not. It can’t be sued, because all merchants have to sign arbitration clauses in their contracts that prohibit lawsuits. Amazon is the government of online commerce, and who goes bankrupt based on Amazon’s arbitrary decisions is literally irrelevant to Bezos

[Winehole23]

We examined (https://themarkup.org/google-the-giant/2020/07/28/how-we-analyzed-google-search-results-web-assay-parsing-tool) more than 15,000 recent popular queries and found that Google devoted 41 percent of the first page of search results on mobile devices to its own properties and what it calls “direct answers (https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1652044/000165204420000008/goog10-k2019.htm),” which are populated with information copied from other sources, sometimes without their knowledge or consent.


The choice to highlight its own products has been deliberate: Internal emails unearthed by the European Commission in an antitrust investigation (https://ec.europa.eu/competition/antitrust/cases/dec_docs/39740/39740_14996_3.pdf) show Google staffers discussing the need to place its comparison-shopping product at the top of the search results to garner traffic. An email the following year noted traffic to the retooled product had more than doubled from four million to 10 million visits, and “most of this growth is from improved google.com integration.”




Google makes five times (https://abc.xyz/investor/static/pdf/20200204_alphabet_10K.pdf?cache=cdd6dbf) as much revenue through advertising on its own properties as it does selling ad space on third-party websites.https://themarkup.org/google-the-giant/2020/07/28/google-search-results-prioritize-google-products-over-competitors

Fifty U.S. attorneys general (https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/09/09/states-us-territories-announce-broad-antitrust-investigation-google/) are currently investigating its ads and search business for potential antitrust violations. The Federal Trade Commission is examining (https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2020/02/ftc-examine-past-acquisitions-large-technology-companies) past acquisitions by tech companies, including Google, for harm to competition. Politico reported (https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/26/google-anti-trust-suit-341912) that the Department of Justice will file an antitrust lawsuit against the company soon. The European Commission, which has already issued (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/20/eu-vestager-hits-google-with-fine-for.html) three multibillion-dollar fines against Alphabet for antitrust violations since 2017, launched a preliminary investigation (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/28/google-faces-eu-antitrust-probe-over-jobs-search-tool.html) into Google for Jobs in 2019.

If section 230 is repealed or anything close to it, the internet as we know it would die. Almost no site would allow for user comments, uploads, etc if they can be found liable for allowing such content. Or if the alternative is that sites can only be liable if they editorialize/moderate content, then everything becomes 4chan

Even as it relates to ads, what if it’s not a clear scam but it’s a reputable company putting up a false or misleading ad?

Agreed. But what administration is actually interested in that fight?

Wow, another "enemy of the state" identified by the OP.

I'm guessing his next gambit will be to call for special camps where all these enemies of the state can be concentrated, so they stop posing a threat.

Funny how anyone who opposes certain worldviews is a "threat" or "enemy".

All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifist for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.

Doubt it will be Biden's. Annoying that the corporate Democrats still have that much power.

Zuckerberg stated he consulted conservative groups on moderation. Then when asked to name one he couldn't do it.
That won't be news. But in the future he'll know who his pretend conservative groups are. Some of this stuff is just rehearsal to work out the kinks.

I thought Zuck was smarter than to put criminal intent in an email
