Tech giant Google is taking fire for directing drivers in the Lake Tahoe area through potentially dangerous or closed-off routes during record snowstorms in the area. One forest sciences professor told the Masters of the Universe: “You are sending people up a poorly maintained forest road to their death in a severe blizzard.”
Google told its employees that they would lose pay and eventually their jobs if they did not abide by the company’s COVID-19 vaccination policy, according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC.
The Liberal government’s proposal to force online platforms to monitor all user content and take down posts they judge to be illegal “will result in the blocking of legitimate content,” says Google.
Lawmakers call the moves anti-competitive behavior
In a move that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle called anti-competitive, Google has announced it will remove its YouTube apps from TV streaming app Roku if Roku does not provide Google with special privileges.
At issue are demands made by Google that would change how Roku operates. The demands include a dedicated section of search results for YouTube—something no other Roku partner receives. Roku tells users searching for a movie where to watch it based on their streaming subscriptions; Google is pushing for some searches to route directly to YouTube, even if it means consumers would pay more. And Google wants Roku to provide the valuable search data it receives from users, a demand Roku calls a fundamental threat to business.
Big brother is watching. Granted, there are multiple ways government can track us. It’s no secret. Besides a super-secret FISA court that’s granted spy warrants on innocent Americans in recent years, you might want to be careful what you search for on Google. The search engine is working secretly with the government on “keyword warrants.” It’s essentially spying. The Feds have ordered them to track and disclose data on persons who search certain terms.

Google is taking action to stop climate change deniers from spreading misinformation or making money by blocking digital ads promoting false climate change claims from appearing alongside content on its platforms.
The company said Thursday in a blog post that it was rolling out a new policy for YouTube video creators. advertisers and publishers.
The new rules “will prohibit ads for, and monetization of, content that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change,” the blog post said.
This is Totalitarianism.
The unearthed financial ties between EcoHealth Alliance and Google follow months of big tech censorship of stories and individuals in support of the COVID-19 “lab leak” theory.
Special Prosecutor Durham’s indictment alleges a Big Tech executive working for the Clinton campaign fabricated fake Trump-Russia evidence and funneled it to the FBI.
From removing a “don’t be evil” clause in their code of conduct to wrongly firing an ethics researcher, Google has been caught in a web of scandals over the last few years.
And now, top engineer Zach Vorhies is quitting Google. He worked for the company between 2008-2013 and later returned in 2016 as a Senior Software Engineer, where he wrote code for Google’s YouTube app. The reason Vorhies decided to quit Google is what caught everyone’s attention. It’s not a surprise that former president Donald Trump was fighting media in every corner for four years, but little did we know how much Google algorithms had it out for him too.
It’s no secret that Google aggressively censors anything and everything that contradicts the left’s narrative. Most, for example, know — or should know — that Google search results yield only what it wants you to see, not what best answers your query (which may go against the woke narrative). But there are more subtle ways that Google manipulates its users that few are aware of.
Google has been hit with a €500m (£427m) fine by France’s competition authority for failing to negotiate “in good faith” with news organisations over the use of their content.
The authority accused Google of not taking an order to do so seriously.
Google told the BBC the decision “ignores our efforts to reach an agreement”.
The fine is the latest skirmish in a global copyright battle between tech firms and news organisations.
Last year, the French competition authority ordered that Google must negotiate deals with news organisations to show extracts of articles in search results, news and other services.
GOOGLE has begun warning users that its search results may be unreliable.
The feature is aimed at breaking news stories, when information is often rapidly changing and sometimes inaccurate.
Google funded research carried out by Wuhan-linked scientist Peter Daszak and his charity for more than a decade, it has been revealed.
The tech giant’s charity arm, Google.org, has repeatedly provided financial backing for research and studies carried out by scandal-hit Daszak and his New York-based EcoHealth Alliance.
The financial ties, which were first reported by The National Pulse, are disclosed in various scientific studies between 2010 and 2018.
The unearthed financial ties between EcoHealth Alliance and Google follow months of big tech censorship of stories and individuals in support of the COVID-19 “lab leak” theory.

The National Post and many other papers owned by Postmedia published an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday, calling for action against the “predatory monopoly practices of Google and Facebook against Canadian news media.”
