It seems that Google has finally managed to Google Winston Churchill’s famous quote: “A peacemaker is he who feeds a crocodile, hoping that it will eat him last.” »
When radical left employees occupied Google offices in New York and Sunnyvale during an anti-Israel and pro-terror sit-in, the tech giant smelled the crocodile’s hot breath, called the police and had them arrested. Good for Google.
But that’s not far enough yet.
Don’t think for a second that Google is moving away from its monitoring policies.
If these employees hadn’t occupied Google’s offices, they would still be sitting in their little Google pods, working outside, actively subverting companies that are not part of the Woke religion.
Around twenty employees left; hundreds of equally politically malicious people are still in office.
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., needs to do more than ask executives to issue a statement saying: “If you are one of the few who are tempted to think that we will overlook behavior that violates our policies, think again.
That won’t be enough.
Pichai must be wholeheartedly dedicated to changing Google’s culture, not just its policies, because unless the culture changes, political subversion will continue.
We’ve written on these pages about Google’s Gemini AI producing historically inaccurate images of black Vikings and female popes.
You may also remember that Google fired an employee because he expressed conservative views that were constitutionally protected but “politically incorrect.”
Google is terribly biased.
And everyone knows it.
But Google’s discrimination is not always so blatant.
Much, if not most, of Google’s bias manifests itself in quiet discrimination against unwoke or conservative voices.
If Pichai wants to put his money where his mouth is, he can and must start by tackling Google’s algorithmic bias, which means that black holes have not awakened everything, particularly in information and media.
Wouldn’t it be great to see the New York Post appear among the top search results for “Donald Trump”?
But that doesn’t happen.
Instead, the New York Times, CNN and other anti-Trump liberal media outlets rise to the top.
We just did this search, and The Post wasn’t even on the first page of results.
We feel the pain of the Post’s search results.
Our site, LegalInsurrection.com, experiences the same limitation in search results, even when our articles are among the most read on a topic.
This happened to us in Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College, where our media coverage made news.
Worse yet, we were inexplicably demonetized by Google Ads.
Google owns YouTube, which removes videos that don’t fit the wake-up line.
Skepticism about COVID vaccines or the 2020 election results was suppressed and their publishers frequently abandoned their platform, while anti-Trump and anti-Republican conspiracy videos flourished.
Even if right-wing videos remain visible, the search function can make it more difficult for audiences to find them, thanks to shadowbanning censorship.
But this ridicule doesn’t stop at algorithmic discrimination.
Not long ago, Google Docs introduced a feature that suggests alternatives like “police” and “humanity” if someone types “non-inclusive” words like “police” or “humanity.”
Useless and useless.
So, just because Google fired a few of its subversive employees doesn’t mean it’s changing its culture.
Google still has a very long way to go.
But perhaps, as Churchill also said: “This is not the end. This isn’t even the beginning of the end. But perhaps this is the end of the beginning.
This may be an accidental trip in the right direction, but hopefully it will lead Google down a less biased path.
