It’s no secret that Google is evil. Our listeners here at America Out Loud have mostly grown to have a healthy distaste towards the Big Tech tyrants who have anointed themselves as the arbiters of truth. But instead of pulling back on their draconian ways, they’ve been doubling down since the stolen 2020 election.
Today, they’re full information totalitarians.
An article posted over at Reclaim The Net by Didi Rankovic exposes the advertising side of their tyranny. Considering the vast majority of people who still use Google search bypass the ads, we can take the extremely high volume of ad censorship and translate that into a much higher volume of natural search result censorship.
According to Reclaim The Net:
Google has published its 2021 Ads Safety Report, revealing that in order to “prevent malicious use” of the ads platform, it last year removed more than 3.4 billion ads, restricted more than 5.7 billion, and suspended in excess of 5.6 million advertiser accounts.
Google claims it is “user safety” that is their top priority when deciding about ads – the very core of the trillion-dollar empire – and monetized content.
Some new elements of the policy around ads introduced in 2021 include a multi-strikes system for what Google decides are policy violations, and at the same time, more than 30 policies for advertisers and publishers were either added, or updated last year.
Among the prohibited ideas is “climate change denial.” The policy, dubbed “Unreliable Claims,” is designed to stop advertisers from contradicting what Google has decided is well-established scientific consensus on climate change – both when it comes to questioning whether the phenomenon actually exists, and what might be causing it.
Regarding other issues on which Google aligns itself with politics when making decisions about what ads and advertiser accounts to allow, ads have been blocked on half a million pages for allegedly containing harmful health information about Covid, and for what Google considers to be “demonstrably false claims” with potential to undermine trust and participation in elections.
It should be crystal clear to everyone that now’s the time to abandon Google if you haven’t already. Their evil is unmatched even among fellow Big Tech tyrants. You’ll never get the full truth if you continue to use them for search or anything else.
