This article notes how Google manipulates its searches to favor its own products and partners, but it doesn’t touch on Google’s even more insidious practice of manipulating its searches to favor its own ideological biases, which are, of course, hard-Left. Last year, Google changed its searches on Islamic topics to push Islamic proselytizing and propaganda. […]
Google partners with anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas Muslim group
While hounding and censoring those who dissent from the hard-Left line. Google, YouTube and the rest are not neutral platforms in the slightest degree. Their hegemony must be ended, or the freedom of speech will be a dead letter. “Google Partners with Anti-Semitic Islamists,” by Steven Emerson, IPT News, January 30, 2018: Why are Google […]
Daughters of man killed in Barcelona jihad attack sue Google, Facebook and Twitter for aiding ISIS
Good. I hope they win a massive settlement and drive them all out of business. Each one has been cutting off its platform to foes of jihad terror. In February, referrals from Facebook and Twitter to Jihad Watch dropped by 90% and have never recovered. Google has changed its search results so that when one […]
Google is now disapproving ads containing the keyword “jihadwatch”
I heard from two writers Saturday who told me that Google had banned their book ads because they contained the keyword “jihadwatch.” Note that both writers say that their ads had not been active for years. I’ve written a great deal lately about how the Left is using Charlottesville as its Reichstag Fire moment to […]
Video: Robert Spencer on the Left’s quest to silence and destroy all its opponents
I spoke today in Virginia, at the Young America’s Foundation Great Beginnings Seminar for college and university students. It was refreshing to speak to a group of college students without being screamed at.
Video: Robert Spencer on the social media giants’ war on the freedom of speech
On August 29, I spoke at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Wednesday Morning Club in Los Angeles on the social media giants’ new practice of shutting down voices that don’t follow the Leftist agenda. Here is a transcript of the event: DAVID HOROWITZ: And I wanted to say that Robert Spencer is a very special […]
Robert Spencer: Should Anti-trust Laws Be Used to Break Up the Social Media Giants?
Google, Facebook and the rest wield more power than most governments. My latest in FrontPage: The secular Left and the proponents of Islamic blasphemy laws have a new issue on which they are making common cause: the quest to destroy the freedom of speech, the cornerstone of our democracy. After Charlottesville, the Left sees its […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Google changing its search results to spike criticism of Islam
In this new video, I discuss how Google has changed its first page results for searches of terms such as “jihad,” “sharia” and “taqiyya” to display only positive explanations of Islamic concepts.
ProPublica, working with Google to “document hate,” threatens counter-jihad bloggers
More on how the Left is moving in for the kill and trying to destroy the freedom of speech completely. “ProPublica, Working with Google to ‘Document Hate,’ Threatens Conservative Bloggers,” by Paula Bolyard, PJ Media, August 19, 2017: Google revealed in a blog post that it is now using machine learning to document “hate crimes […]
Google’s “left-wing bias has alienated its own workers”
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 […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Google Manipulates Search Results to Conceal Criticism of Islam and Jihad
Google fell for an organized disinformation campaign. My latest at PJ Media: The jihad against the freedom of speech is advancing rapidly, and most people don’t even know it’s happening. Turkey’s state-run news outlet Anadolu Agency reports: Google’s first page results for searches of terms such as “jihad”, “shariah” and “taqiyya” now return mostly reputable […]
Google’s new “hate speech” algorithm is anti-Semitic and pro-jihad
As I revealed here several days ago, Google has bowed to Muslim pressure and changed its search results to conceal criticism of Islam and jihad. Search results that Muslim leaders (whose motives Google apparently never questions or investigates) have made sure that sites such as Jihad Watch are buried in search results, with numerous site […]
Google bows to Muslim pressure, changes search results to conceal criticism of Islam and jihad
“Google’s first page results for searches of terms such as ‘jihad’, ‘shariah’ and ‘taqiyya’ now return mostly reputable explanations of the Islamic concepts. Taqiyya, which describes the circumstances under which a Muslim can conceal their belief in the face of persecution, is the sole term to feature a questionable website on the first page of […]
Google deep-sixes Jihad Watch
For many years, whenever one Googled “jihad,” Jihad Watch was the first result. This was back in the days when Google’s results were based on the relevance of the subject matter to the search and the popularity of the site. But then Google began engaging in social engineering, attempting to manipulate opinion by changing the […]
Texas imam fighting to make Google searches Sharia-compliant
Omar Suleiman is a practiced deceiver, and he is now trying to ensure that Google will not give people access to accurate information about Islam and jihad. If Google accedes to his demands, how will it know that the sites he is blocking are wrong and the sites he is referring traffic to are correct? […]
Google plans to fight the Islamic State with targeted ads
“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 […]
Google celebrates Ramadan by promoting oppressive dress code for women
Google promotes the Sharia’s dress code for women in its latest doodle celebrating the Islamic “holy month,” Ramadan. Hundreds of million of women all over the world live without the most basic human rights. They live under the brutal Islamic law, the Sharia. The Sharia gives husbands the right to beat their wife/wives (Quran 4:34) […]
Theresa May: “The fight against terrorism and hate speech has to be a joint one”
By this May means, as Pamela Geller has pointed out, that “the fight against jihad and those who oppose jihad is a joint one.” This is because opposition to jihad terror is routinely characterized by Theresa May and her colleagues as “hate speech.” It has been a years-long chess game: first came the charge, ridiculous […]
How Google’s search engines use faked results to manipulate people’s views of jihad
This post by Jihad Watch tech expert Marc offers extraordinary insight into how Google skews its presentation of information in order to manipulate people into accepting half-truths and falsehoods that serve the Left’s agenda. He explains how Google deliberately manipulates its results when one searches for the word “jihad” — and doubtless this is just […]
Appeals Court rules YouTube should not have been forced to take down film critical of Muhammad
A victory for the freedom of speech, but it hardly matters now: all jihadists need to do in order to get us to stop saying anything negative about Islam or Muhammad is to threaten to kill us, and everyone folds up, cowers and submits. “Appeals Court Sides With Google in Anti-Muslim Film Case,” by Sudhin […]
