The complaining conservative employee in this story is discussing gender bias, but his points are sound in a larger sense: it is true that Google, like the other Leftist new media giants, is indefatigably opposed to viewpoints that dissent from the hard-Left line. And Google has begun manipulating its search results to conceal criticism of Islam and jihad, and material that Muslims don’t want seen.
“Google’s ‘left-wing bias has alienated its own workers’: Senior engineer claims colleagues with right-wing views are forced to keep them ‘in the closet,'” by David Gardner, MailOnline, August 6, 2017:
Internet giant Google has been accused by one of its own employees of ‘alienating conservatives’ with its politically correct left-wing bias.
A senior software engineer at the company claimed in a document that was distributed to colleagues that right-wing employees were forced to keep their views ‘in the closet’ to avoid hostility….
The engineer claims Google’s ‘left bias’ has created ‘a politically correct monoculture that maintains its hold by shaming dissenters into silence’.
He adds: ‘This silencing has created an ideological echo chamber where some ideas are too sacred to be honestly discussed.’…
The anti-diversity manifesto claimed that Google should focus on ‘ideological diversity’….
In a section of the document titled ‘Stop Alienating Conservatives,’ he argues for the importance of ‘viewpoint diversity.’
‘In highly progressive environments, conservatives are a minority that feel like they need to stay in the closet to avoid open hostility,’ he claims.
‘We should empower those with different ideologies to be able to express themselves.
‘Alienating conservatives is both non-inclusive and generally bad business because conservatives tend to be higher in conscientiousness, which is require for much of the drudgery and maintenance work characteristic of a mature company.’
The author was being lambasted on social media….

This engineer expresses what I have been suspecting: The very freedom-loving people who CREATED THE INTERNET want to KEEP THE INTERNET FREE.
I think the result of the attempted TAKEOVER of the internet by LEFTARDS will be a PALACE COUP in which FREEDOM OF SPEECH SUPPORTERS in the technology sector will CREATE NEW FREE SPEECH PLATFORMS to replace Google, facebook and twitter. The result will be MAJOR LOSS OF INCOME for the big three … if not a collapse of their companies.
What has obviously happened is that BUSINESS MANAGERS have taken over these companies and decided to take freedom from the little people (upon which the businesses were built) and they has SOLD OUT to big financial empires that object to anything CONTROVERSIAL.
CONTROVERSY is the PRODUCT of the INTERNET … you Leftard SELL-OUTS!
Ian Hoffa says
We’re already seeing that, look at gab.ai (replacement for Twitter) and minds.com (replacement for Facebook).
We just need to spread the word!
Westman says
Why does minds.com remind me of Black Mirror episode, “Nosedive”?
A points system that awards points for money, followers, check-ins, up votes, and blogging? Seriously?
A popularity contest based “social networking” site, an extention of high school vanity, is not going to be a vehicle to resist Jihad and creeping sharia.
Geezer of London says
Westman I’m not too sure but it seems like they’re trying to give a sort of steroid boost to accelerate their growth? I’ve been very excited about Gab and Minds disrupting the Twitter/Facebook duopoly, and on a comparison site I saw that Gab has somewhat flattened in growth in recent months, while Minds has surged.
I’m going to join them both though. I always thought Twitter and Facebook sucked anyway, the pathetically corrupt censorship and heavy-handed policing of posts just tells me I was right to keep well away from them from day one.
Vic says
Thanks for the tip on these websites. I have been using BraveHeart to access JW, the Geller report, and Israel News.
I will explore the minds.com site and see if I can migrate. I don’t care for FB thought police anymore.
I wonder if there is alternate for YouTube…it seems they are deleting lots of “controversial, politically incorrect” videos. Of course, antisemitic, antichristian vids and gory jihad stuff is allowed.
Keep up the good work, Mr. Spencer!
Geezer of London says
Vic I think vid.me is looking like it might be the promised land for exiled Youtubers
http://vid.me
Youtube has enlistd the crooked ADL to police their content – the writing is on the wall, all Youtubers should be preparing to leave based on that alone.
Mel Harmon says
gab.ai is no good alternative because they are linked to Google and you have to be a member of Google if you want to Comment or vote on gab.ai. we who boycott Google have no alternative for social media, EXCEPT theconservativetreehouse.com they are powered by Word Press, not Google!
PRODOS says
Spot on Mortimer!
Guest says
Geezer, Vidme states: “No hate speech
No videos that promote racism, bigotry, physical harm of any kind against any group or individual.”
How is that any better than what Youtube is threatening? You know ‘no hate speech’ against ‘any group or individual’ will mean ‘nothing against islam’.
I don’t think Vidme sounds like the best service for political discourse.

underbed cat says
I find it very easy to get to JW. CJR, ,muslimissue, FPMag, the website that is the most difficult to stay on for some reason the pages are difficult to stay on are Breitbart and Pamela Geller Report…lots of screen problems ….I find you tube….ok…..
underbed cat says
Just tried to google ” muslim riots sweden, germany, etc…you are right the results never mention who the rioters are as they don’t describe who is rioting. So yes I see it now.
gravenimage says
underbed cat, the main problem is for people who have not discovered Jihad Watch and other Anti-Jihad sites yet.
Sarah says
I have personally, been using duckduckgo.com for years now as my base search engine. I run it on Mozilla Firefox. I use Google and Bing via IE (Edge) that came with my current Win10 laptop.
I too, find Breitbart via Google to be incredibly slow to load. I only use Google very rarely and very carefully, for certain search requests only. Recipes, meme’s, nonsense stuff like that, only.
I just did a check too, with duckduckgo. If you search Jihad Watch, then this website is the first result.
I then searched ‘Muslim riots sweden’ and received back a full search result that doesn’t block who the perpetrators of the riots are.
I can strongly, strongly recommend duckduckgo to anyone interested. It is a site that also promises that they don’t track you, save your searches, target you with ad’s etc. I’ve never had a single problem with them, in all the years I’ve been using it. Personally – I have never been disappointed, nor had a problem with it.
Plus, as an Australian, if I want to access Pirate Bay (Aus gov have blocked it again) I can find proxies via duckduckgo, not via Google.
RodSerling says
To test the search engines for bias you’ve got to enter a word like “jihad” to see where Jihad Watch comes up. I’ve tried Duck Duck Go several times over the past few months. When I enter “jihad” I see Jihad Watch comes up in the fifth or sixth position in the results, and in the top position on the autocomplete suggestion.
John A. Marre says
The left has found a very efficient way to eliminate something that they hate: thoughts that they disagree with. They would love to get the government in the business of eliminating free speech, but there’s that annoying Constitution that they hate so much. It’s much easier to enlist corporations in the elimination of free speech.
TR says
I no longer use Google to bring forth “Jihad Watch” as my first line of information of the day. I can wait for ever it seems for Google. With Bing I have instant results. How many Democrat Socialist of America Journalists work for Google? I have read over 400 were several years ago. Does anyone have a current number? Seems personally they only bring up the usual Leftist Media, totally incorrect, bias stories of almost fifty years ago and ignore any truthful facts of record setting accomplishments in the interim. .

ANTIFA CRINGE COMPILATION
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo2U4EE51lo
Sarah says
I just cannot understand what I just sat through, with that Antifa compilation lol. That was a head scratcher.
It can be summed up essentially as:
1. Various college age adults from America, wearing bandannas to hide their faces, yapping about guns and fascists, making hand signals and saying fuck a lot.
2. Some gay guy, with hair that looks like peach coloured fairy floss, whining that he’s a woman and should be respected for it. Whilst physically behaving like absolutely every other male on the planet when in a confrontation, with his instinctive testosterone driven aggression. (And a blind person frankly, could see that there is a young gay male standing there, with a diet and exercise problem who needs a hairdresser. Come on mate, at least get a boob job and whack on a dress and THEN insist you’re a woman).
3. Some tone deaf individual twinkling the ivories, sounding like a strangled cat, warbling words that are well peppered with ‘fuck’.
4. Males with guns. One such peanut in his brave bandanna owning up to buying an AK-47 (only in America lol) and freely admitting he knows NOTHING about said high powered death machine he just purchased. And a lot of ‘fucks’ peppered in.
Kids, bandannas, guns, swearing and chronic delusions about gender. Is that what sums up ‘Antifa’????
I admit, I’m not well versed on this group, other than it being comprised of a bunch of hard core lefties who are absolutely, unequivocally opposed to absolutely everything other than their own extremely specific world view. Like a lot of groups, really. But these guys are worrying in one respect, and ludicrously hilarious in another.

“…it is true that Google, like the other Leftist new media giants, is indefatigably opposed to viewpoints that dissent from the hard-Left line.”
Just as it is true there is only one Islam, there is only one “Left.” Likewise, it is also true that while some (most?) Muslims are peaceful but Islam itself is not, some (most) Leftists are reasonable but the Left itself is not. Just as fundamentalist (radical) Muslims shame moderate (ignorant?) Muslims into compliance so do the hard-Leftists shame the so-called moderates.
Thank you for your relentless struggle to bring to light and oppose these totalitarian efforts to destroy our civilization.
Baucent says
They will alienate a significant consumer population world wide with their ideological narrow mindedness, and that will create a business opportunity for someone. End result is likely to see companies like Google and Youtube losing market share to new startups.
