Board 8 > Google censorship cracks down on anti-war left-wing sites, too

(+) Yeah! (+)

Okay so basically the truth is that the khaki shorts man is literally ONLY ON CAMERA when we see the khaki shorts, and every other time you see the red coat, it's the reporter.

I finally understand

Right. That's what I was trying to say.

I wasn't trying to say you see two different people facing/talking to the camera. We never see Khaki Shorts's face.

Correct, it is basically a reverse Mark Dantonio.

Oh and of course it was fucking InfoWars behind the conspiracy theory

So there's this:

http://gizmodo.com/yes-google-uses-its-power-to-quash-ideas-it-doesn-t-li-1798646437

tl;dr journalist in 2011 learns Google prioritizes results that get engagement on Google Plus and reports that fact; Google pressures her employer to take the story down and then prevents any trace of the original story from being found via Google search.

With the caveat that the story isn't sourced and relies solely on the writer's own memories, that is shady as fuck.

While it's definitely shady if they actually scrubbed it from Google searches, her headline and premise of "‘Put a Plus One button on your pages or your search traffic will suffer.’" is incredibly click-baity. The idea is that more popular search results (ones that got more +1s) will appear higher up in searches, so, yes, a site that doesn't include a +1 button would be at a disadvantage. But that's just a natural disadvantage from choosing not to use something that could get you more attention. The title, and the way she uses words like "suffers" (and originally used "dies) suggest Google was going out of its way to screw over people who didn't include the button, which simply wasn't true.

So while Google's actions were shady, her using the info for what amounts to click-bait was also pretty shady.

You absolutely make sure that you're not just going to put yourself in danger in trying to help them, which something like sandals on a slippery, wet surface would absolutely do.

Like, this is no different than taking your shoes, jacket, etc. off before you jump in the water to save somebody.

Did everyone on the filming crew wear sandals? It didn't have to be the reporter who pulled the guy out, if he was ill-equipped.

The second part of the video is entirely staged.

Typical google. Turn to alternatives if you value liberty.

perhaps they WERE wearing sandals. perhaps they couldn't just dump all of their filming equipment in the grass.

stop basing your bullshit conspiracy theory on a bunch of vague pictures and alex jones' bullshit.

When you're trying to find roundabout excuses to justify your version, you might as well give up.

Occam's razor wins again.

itt extremely believable alternatives to a ridiculous conspiracy theory based on a bunch of vague pictures and the ramblings of an insane man = "roundabout excuses."

Well, you also believe that every type of socialism implemented in the world so far is "not real socialism" because it failed miserably, so I'm not surprised.
---

1) you're wrong (as socialism has been implemented in several places in the world and works perfectly fine).
2) nice changing of the argument.

Holy shit I figured Vlado was gonna quietly let this topic die, not double down and make himself look even more stupid. Masochism, I guess.

I like how he could have just silently let it die, but instead not only kept it alive, but is choosing to ignore the actual answer just to make himself look even more hilariously stupid.

The truck was actually just a stylized floatation device. They've been planning this for weeks.

You are literally posting in support and belief of a conspiracy theory created by InfoWars

You literally have no footing to stand on to call anybody out for sources they believe.
---

for fuck's sake, even ulti said he stopped watching infowars because he finally realized alex jones is a total idiot. the fact that vlado takes an infowars conspiracy theory as gospel automatically makes him the #1 joke user in political discussion on board 8.
---

Every news source is wrong sometimes.

But you can still trust the source that is nearly always accurate more than you can trust a source that is rarely ever accurate.

And more reliable sources will issue a retraction when they run a story that turns out to have been incorrect.
---

If we really want to talk about having no credibility, can we like, post an archive of outright lies Vlado has posted under the guise of "news"?

Assange literally said Seth Rich was a source. If you actually think it was a botched robbery even though nothing was stolen, please donate to my go fund me bridge fund. I'm looking to sell.

More Ulti lies as usual

i feel like i've seen vlado complain that only right wing crazy sites are getting censored by google and the left is free to do anything it wants, typical globalists etc

now a left wing crazy site is hit too and it's.... still the left's fault?

It's anti-globalist sites that get censored, genius. I said as much in the opening post.

Vlado how do you think search engines should work?

Should they not have an algorithm in place that punishes sites that regularly post false "news" and instead promotes legitimate sites?

Assange has all the reason in the world to lie, and IIRC he was very evasive in his answer. He implied, but never outright admitted anything (making it easy to walk back later on, like when it was revealed that literal Ukrainian hackers admitted to hacking the DNC.). Furthermore, I just don't buy that a conspiracy to assassinate some random staffer would stage it like a robbery gone wrong and then NOT steal anything, this opening themselves up to deeper investigation. That doesn't make any sense.
---

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Assange refuse to say one way or the other, but implied it? And then went on to say Wikileaks is purposely vague, and kinda let people draw their own conclusions?"

That's hardly a "literally said Seth Rich was a source."
