Google Employees Tried To Block Ads From Conservative Media Outlets

Google has an anti-conservative bias. Surprise surprise.

According to leaked emails from Google, employees deliberately tried to block ads from conservative websites, such as Breitbart. This occurred right after Trump took office.

Shocker.

Google employees sought to use alleged “hate speech” as a pretense for banning Breitbart from taking part in the advertising program, the emails show.

Barring Breitbart from the advertising program would have a devastating effect on the site’s ad revenue as Google accounts for roughly 37 percent of all digital advertising revenue.

Breitbart obtained the emails and published them Monday night, one day before Google CEO Sundar Pichai is set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. A Google spokeswoman confirmed the emails’s authenticity to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

This is exactly why it’s stupid to allow Silicon Valley to determine what constitutes “hate speech.” It’s under their discretion, and under their discretion, any speech they hate is “hate speech.”

“There are only two genders.” = hate speech.

“Masculinity isn’t toxic.” = hate speech.

“Islam is a violent religion.” = hate speech.

“Donald Trump is your president.” = hate speech.

See what I mean?

Google employees crowd-sourced a spreadsheet of examples meant to show Breitbart engaging in “hate speech” as part of a internal lobbying campaign meant to pressure their higher-ups into removing Breitbart from AdSense.

Ridiculous.

Of course, Google is denying this.
