New Google Memo Leaks, Exposing Their Attempt To Censor The Internet
| and the populist movement is just a “blip” in history, Google has repeatedly denied that the political bias of its employees filter into its products.
But the 85-page briefing, titled “The Good Censor,” admits that Google and other tech platforms now “control the majority of online conversations” and have undertaken a “shift towards censorship” in response to unwelcome political events around the world.
| Examples cited in the document include the 2016 election and the rise of Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) in Germany.
Responding to the leak, an official Google source said the document should be considered internal research, and not an official company position.
The briefing labels the ideal of unfettered free speech on the internet a “utopian narrative” that has been “undermined” by recent global events as well as “bad behavior” on the part of users.
| It can be read in full below.
It acknowledges that major tech platforms, including Google, Facebook and Twitter initially promised free speech to consumers. “This free speech ideal was instilled in the DNA of the Silicon Valley startups that now control the majority of our online conversations,” says the document.
| The briefing argues that Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are caught between two incompatible positions, the “unmediated marketplace of ideas” vs. “well-ordered spaces for safety and civility.”

| I'm going to take anything from Breitbart with a huge grain of salt, even if the leak is valid I get the vibe there'd be a lot of spin going on.
| That's why I am not using Google, Twitter, Facebook. Because they more interested in SJW shit and don't really care about free speech and private information. They need our personal info and SJW advertising of Pepsi. For "targeted advertising" and making SJW pleased. Ignore that goatfuckers.

In this age virtual newspapers are shallow and clickbate, but Breitbart takes it to another level!
I'd rather read this story from my broadsheet newspapers even if they are dry as the paper its printed on they're at least thorough!

I can't tell if you girls are NPCs or brainlets or both. Attack the message not the messenger. How do you remember to breathe?
| Nah, their just bickering for somebody to post a more "reputable" spurce for the story. Breitbart does have a pretty bad reputation...

Who cares? The document is clearly legit, they acknowledged it. Their commentary doesn't matter.
| >>418347 even if the document is legit, they aren't speaking about the accuracy of the document. They're saying you should read the document, not that article, as the article might be biased.
| This is H U G E
This is Cyberpunk
| Why aren't we talking about this in /lain/ if it's so cyberpunk?
| >>52a2e6 More buzzwords, god I miss the 2000s internet.
First off one should always have an open mind, engage in critical thinking, do some god damn fact checking and not take everything at face value while in the heat of emotions.
Also it's a leak from Breitbart to itself with breitbart watermarks stamped over every page which smells. Even if a broken clock is right twice a day I'd want to read most of it to cut through the spin and rage whent hese issues crop up.
