Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Google plans to fight the Islamic State with targeted ads

Jun 20, 2017 3:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“Google says it will also take a stance on videos that contain ‘inflammatory religious or supremacist’ sentiments: They’ll put warnings on those videos and make them harder to find.”

Ten to one these warnings will end up going not on jihad videos, but on anti-jihad videos.

“Google Has Announced A Plan To Fight ISIS… With Targeted Ads,” by Samantha Kummerer, Newsy, June 19, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Google has a plan to redirect potential ISIS recruits away from the terrorist group and its message.

The “Redirect Method” targets potential recruits with online ads that actually send them to curated anti-terrorist videos. The method uses targeted keywords — just like business advertisements do — to show the ads to people who searched for extremist content….

The four-step plan would up Google’s use of technology to help identify and remove extremist content. It would also add humans to fine-tune that identification process.

Google says it will also take a stance on videos that contain “inflammatory religious or supremacist” sentiments: They’ll put warnings on those videos and make them harder to find.

    They do not need Google to recruit terrorists, they have mosques and imams in every european country.

      Indeed. Well said.

    LOL that will help! Watch Piers Morgan and Tommy Robinson on youtube. Tommy was telling what the real problem is and Piers goes out of his mind. Go to the Daily Mail online and read the best rated coments. Guess who these commentors agree with.

    Naive. Stupid. Do they really think the Jihadis are going to fall for that?

      “Naive. Stupid. Do they really think the Jihadis are going to fall for that?”

      Yes.

      Just as they believe, when fools concerning Islam get be-fooled by the alleged Imams of the din, and then those fools, step forward, citing imaginary Islamic “doctrine,” the “believers,” instead of believing “Allah and His Messenger,” they will believe the said fools.

      Such as—as Secretary Tillerson did recently–telling the jihadist, in his killing and being killed in the cause of Allah, he has earned the censure of the said Imams, forcing them to withhold from him the “mandatory” funeral prayer, therein, in the stated withholding, condemned the jihadi’s soul to hell.

    ………………………….

    Is that like fighting Boko Haram with hash tags?

      And slaughtered and vaporized kids with tea light candles, teddy bears and tears and hugs all around.

      For Christ’s sake, I have used duckduckGo for years now to avoid Google and I don’t go getting up to anything that I shouldn’t.

      This attempt by Google is worse than no attempt at all. It just shows complete contempt for addressing a nightmare problem that their tools help to make.

    Google picks and chooses who they censor. For instance, they delete videos and channels that feature Americans burning the Koran, which is perfectly legal to do in America. They also delete Alt-right channels and videos. But ISIS is allowed to have videos up, and so are other Islamic terrorist organizations… why?

      Exactly, ok.

    I’m sure the politically-correct, left wing idiots at google think criticism of islam is what creates jihadis.

    And I’m sure they’re biting their nails at the prospect of creating the appearance that they have singled out muslims in any manner. (It’s not like isis is made up of muslims, now is it?)

    So I think we’ll find that google’s idea of fighting terrorism will become primarily one of silencing non-muslims.

    Sharia restrictions on free speech under the guise of fighting terrorism, basically.

    “Inflammatory religious” sentiments will come to mean any negative opinions of islam regardless of the truth. Or saying anything that offends muslims with their boundless capacity to take offense.

      Yup. Indeed.

      Martin, if this happens Google will see the biggest Exodus away from it that it’s ever seen! Youtube too. Anyone who is telling folks the truth about islam need to be looking at other platforms now before this censorship happens. Also the way this censorship is rolled out needs to be closely monitored.

    “…Ten to one these warnings will end up going not on jihad videos, but on anti-jihad videos…”

    Yes, much easier and less controversial to placate the Jihadist Juggernaut, by censoring it’s critics, than to confront them and stand up to their intimidation.

    “Google plans to fight the Islamic State with targeted ads.” –

    Together with flowers, teddy bears and interfaith dialogues there is a good chance that that will do us in.

    Google is not a political organization, in fact google is a commercial company. Therefore, it is not google responsibility to play detective or world police in cyber world. Allahu Akbar !

    This will have no effect on the already existing “extremist content” in the Quran, the Hadith and Ibn Ishaq…

    Jun 21, 2017 at 11:15 am

    It should be about as effective as the “Please don’t rape me bracelets” that the Swedish girls
    wear.

    On You Tube, we are already seeing warnings that appear on any video that speaks out against jihad, or tells the truth about, well, anything. One of those list videos even made a point to watch what it said against Hitler. So,you are right on about that. We need alternatives and FAST.
