A new report finds that claims of anti-conservative bias on social media platforms are not only untrue but serve as a form of disinformation. The report from NYU’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights says not only is there no empirical finding that social media companies systematically suppress conservatives, but even reports of anecdotal instances tend to fall apart under close scrutiny.

Of course researchers in capitalism are usually prostitute guys, but this is below any level imaginable.

Twitter has removed the account of the Gateway Pundit, which sympathized with the former president. This happened shortly after the publication on its pages of the material, which contains facts of violations (if not falsifications) during the counting of votes in Detroit.

Clapper CEO Edison Chen told on Thursday that the company will permanently ban QAnon-related content going forward. As of publication, Chen said Clapper has removed over 400 videos and 20 accounts for spreading QAnon or anti-vax misinformation and has increased its number of content auditors from around a dozen to 20. It will take Clapper up to 10 days to complete a full audit of its over 1 million videos.

We are free, as free fall.

Facebook expands the geographic reach of its platform to "fight climate misinformation". Activists demand more: Organisations and individuals that deny man-​made climate change should be thwarted by the social media network

Soon it will be only one opinion - one that corporations constructed and promoted.

YouTube has suspended Rudy Giuliani’s YouTube channel for the second time this year for making false claims of fraud in the 2020 US presidential election and has issued a strike against his channel. It’s Giulani’s second strike within 90 days, according to Bloomberg, meaning that Giuliani cannot upload videos for two weeks. In a statement, YouTube also cited Giulani’s promotion of nicotine, which is against the company’s rules.

Something tells me that next year it will be promotion of breathing that will be enough for blocking.

And note how notices/false fact check about rigged elections turned into "false claims of fraud in the 2020 US presidential election" and they are enough for strike and channel blocking now.

Facebook now intents to remove any dissent fast

Facebook posted on its blog that it will start improving group recommendations. The social network will stop offering users pages identified as malicious (in facebook terms, not in reality!). The company states that its efforts are aimed at protecting users from groups, information in which could harm them. It's worth noting that Facebook recently excluded any political groups, as well as newly created communities, from recommendations in the US, although they can still be found with targeted searches. Now these rules apply to the whole world.

Facebook says that when a group begins to violate social media rules (yes, this daily changing fuzzy shit), it appears less and less on its recommendation list. When a user tries to join a group that violates community standards, Facebook will warn about it.

"Bad" guys must shut up.

Facebook warns that users who periodically violate group rules of conduct will be prevented from posting and posting comments for a specified period of time in any group. They will also not be able to create their own groups.

Such way they also will shut up any individuals who don't like corporate groups that are full of stupid fanboys, as now any post or comment can have global consequences.

No more societal and political discussions on our company Basecamp account.

As far as I know Google, Apple and Microsoft internals - it is very similar.

Companies try to not allow people to understand that around them almost everyone feels the same and also hate how the company works and its owners.

Twitter has blocked the Trump team's account. The page planned to share messages from former US President Donald Trump from his donaldjtrump platform. The account was banned a day after it appeared.

Freedom of... we are searching for new word here, please wait...

The social network Facebook has moved to the next stage in the fight against disinformation on the platform. Now visitors to pages that supposedly regularly distribute "fake" news are warned.

If the user tries to like the corresponding page, he will see the message: "This page has regularly shared false information, which is confirmed by the checks of independent fact-checkers." After that, you can either return to the previous page, or still approve the current one. However, the network will track and tag such users who do not follow the prompts and directions.

In addition, the company intends to expand the sanctions against personal pages that regularly share disinformation - other users simply will not see them in the news feed. They will be replaced with posts by the largest media outlets.

There are no independent global Internet platforms: they are all American, they all operate in the US jurisdiction, they are all controlled from the beginning, until 2015, by the so-called "Patriot Act", which orders all data to be given to the Government. And in 2015, the Americans passed the Freedom Act, according to which all these companies are obeyed by the US government. Moreover, recently, all Internet companies have been appointed either to the board of directors or to the management of intelligence, defense, etc.

Not bad.

YouTube has removed 1 million videos for dangerous COVID-19 misinformation since February 2020, according to YouTube’s Chief Product Officer Neal Mahon.

Mahon shared the statistic in a blog post outlining how the company approaches. misinformation on its platform. “Misinformation has moved from the marginal to the mainstream,” he wrote. “No longer contained to the sealed-off worlds of Holocaust deniers or 9-11 truthers, it now stretches into every facet of society, sometimes tearing through communities with blistering speed.”

So, 9/11 and Holocaust are definitely next in the line.

Google now allows minors, those under the age of 18, to request that images of themselves be removed from Search results. Originally announced in August, the feature is now widely available.

They always use children to induce more censorship.

Slowly this feature will be extended and will be used to remove images of anyone they do not like (upon his request, of course, of some "freedom" organisation).

Oh the irony ...
