Project Veritas released its second video exposing Google's partisan practices on Tuesday. This time it was a Google ad manager who spoke to the hidden camera, and revealed Google's ability to manipulate, censor, and suppress views they don't want expressed—not only through search results, but through advertising. In the video, a Google ad manager says that Google is capable of censoring "right-wing and republicans." The manager said he decided not to go ahead and fulfill a request for pro-Brexit ads through the search engine.
"You're telling an Italian that lives in London that you want to advertise Brexit. It’s like, seriously?" Adriano Amaduzzi, the ad manager said. Amaduzzi said that he is not even a major player at the company, but that he did have this measure of control of whether or not to take requests that he wasn't personally interested in fulfilling.
Amaduzzi said that Google can "censor out news from your search engine" and that they can even engage in "or actually stopping right-wing parties from advertising." Google Trust and Safety team has actively engaged in suppressing and censoring political speech, primarily because those who have that power feel that it is in their purview to do so.
The Google account executive didn't know that he was talking to a Project Veritas journalist via hidden camera when he admitted to exploiting Google market dominance in advertising on the web, and doing so to push their own views and censor the opposition.
Amaduzzi said that "You can offer free credits, free advertising credits, to Democratic parties for advertising." This can be done while suppressing Republican content, as well. "You can, potentially—censor out news from your search engine." ...
There is more.
This information could be of interest to the DOJ which has recently sued Google. It does look like they are using their monopoly power to discriminate for political purposes.
Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now. It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.
Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here.
