Any one surprised?
Washington, D.C. –Today, Live Action, a human rights nonprofit with the largest and most engaged following in the global pro-life movement, issued a statement on last evening’s action by Google to de-platform Live Action and other pro-life partners from Google ads in a perverse demonstration of big tech’s aggressive censorship of life saving messages.
Live Action ads that were banned included the promotion of Baby Olivia, a medically accurate animation of human development in the womb, as well as promotion of the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline which can be reached at 855-209-4848, managed by a team of medical professionals who helped develop the life-saving technology.
Lila Rose, Founder and President of Live Action, responded:
“In a dramatic and unprecedented move, Google has sided squarely with extremist pro-abortion political ideology, banning the pro-life counterpoint and life-saving information from being promoted on their platform. They aren’t hiding their bias anymore: Google’s censorship baldly reveals that the corporation is in the pocket of the abortion industry. By restricting scientific information related to abortion pill reversal and other life-saving options, while accepting paid ads promoting life-ending abortions, Google has chosen to operate by an outrageously dishonest and blatant double standard. The consequence is devastating – more women and girls will be marketed abortions through Google platforms, without also being offered life-affirming options.
“Google disingenuously cites ‘unreliable claims’ as their reason to ban the promotion of Abortion Pill Reversal, but has obviously failed to understand the FDA-approved treatment that the reversal technology uses. Live Action and pro-life medical professionals across the country are proud to promote the Abortion Pill Reversal regimen, which involves an FDA-approved, bioidentical pregnancy hormone called progesterone that has been used for dozens of years to prevent miscarriage and has already saved thousands of lives.”
Donna Harrison, MD, Executive Director of The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) added:
“Progesterone has been used safely in early and mid-pregnancy for over 50 years, and is used in every IVF pregnancy to help the mother carry her child. If taken as part of an APR regimen, progesterone increases a mother’s chances of carrying her child from 25% to 68%. For the women who regret starting an abortion, this information can be life-saving.”
Lila Rose concluded:
“The tech monopolies that have so much control over our information consumption and our daily lives are so tied in with the radical left that they work to restrict informed consent and censor life-saving options in order to protect the billion-dollar abortion industry. It’s anti-choice and morally wrong. Google must apply fairness and uniformity to its policy and allow Live Action and pro-life partners back on its ads platform.”

This is censorship pure and simple. The Tech Lords are not private companies but rather quasi monopolies which exist solely because of government protection from lawsuits over their content. They are completely in bed with the current administration and are an arm of the Democrat party. Any conservative, nattering about the free market, who believes otherwise is a fool.
Those folks over at Gab.com are trying to build a parallel economy, and now accept ads. They will have “Gab pay” (similar to Venmo, Cash Ap, etc) in a few months or less.

There is also a search engine out there called resulthunter.com which supposedly is the conservative answer to Google
Trump’s greatest error was not taking on Silicon Valley when he had the chance. That failure could reverberate for generations.
Had resulthunter attempting a search for roughly the last hour.
Results never loaded; I have Googlescript blocker, and adblocker, and anything that will not function with those two gets a serious side-eye.

Don’t think he ever had the chance. The Democrats would block with the filibuster, McConnell only cares about donors, and Ryan one might wager is addled by Ayn Rand’s notion that anti-trust law is for losers.
IMO, Trump’s biggest deficit was in assembling a personnel operation which could recruit, vet, and place reliable discretionary appointees. His style seemed to be hire on impulse and fire if they’re underperforming. Lotsa churn, lots sabotage lower down by permanent government types and Obama holdovers.

Another problem we have: a critical mass of faculty members are grotesque office politicians and the rest of the faculty let them get away with it.
That’s what happens when you have a monopoly of power by any organisation in this case Google. There needs to be other competitors otherwise the biggest player abuses their control of the market.
(The irony being I found this below website through Google)…

i find it difficult to avoid using Google. vimeo does not have the selection that Youtube does, and I still have my google email account. However, I have deleted Chrome (not a good browser) and told editors not to use Google docs. Any other suggestions?
My default is DuckDuckGo. I should unload my gmail account, but the task is daunting. I’d be pleased to return to MapQuest, but the people who currently own it have left it to buggy to use.
