Social Media Censoring Anti-progs

[Anonymous]

A bit off topic since its not social media, but rather the Canadian government, but I didn't know where else this could go.  



[size=150]Anti-gay activist ordered to pay $55,000 to B.C. trans candidate in fight over hateful flyer[/size]

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has ordered Christian activist William Whatcott to pay $55,000 to trans activist Morgane Oger.



Tribunal member Devyn Cousineau said $35,000 was compensation for a hate-filled flyer that Whatcott published when Oger was running for provincial office in 2017, and $20,000 was to punish Whatcott for improper conduct during the five-day hearing in December.



According to the tribunal ruling, Whatcott printed 1,500 of the flyers and distributed them in the Vancouver-False Creek riding that Oger was contesting as an NDP candidate. The flyer had a photo of Oger, described her as a "biological male" and claimed she was promoting "homosexuality and transvestism." It went on to state transsexuals were prone to sexually transmitted diseases and at risk of domestic violence, alcohol abuse and suicide.



The flyer concluded, "Thankfully Jesus Christ paid the price for your sin. You can turn to the merciful Christ and ask for forgiveness and when the NDP come knocking at your door you can tell them, you wont vote for them because you believe in God's definition of gender and marriage."

Dissent ist verboten.  Free speech RIP.

I have heard of that Whatcott guy. He used to be gay.

GOOGLE EMPLOYEES PROTEST COMPANY'S PRO-BORDER WALL BOARD MEMBER. EXECS STAND PAT



Google employees are circulating a petition protesting the Silicon Valley company's decision to appoint a conservative woman who supports President Donald Trump's border wall to its advisory board on artificial intelligence.



Employees want Google to rescind its decision to include Heritage Foundation President Kay Coles James on the Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC). More than 1,000 "Googlers" signed the Monday petition, which claims that James's supposedly anti-immigrant positions run contrary to Google's ethics.

Progs are really vicious on minorities who don't share their open border agenda.

Trudeau is being proactive about his inevitable electoral decline this year. Already he is blaming it on foreign interference.  Not his own interference in the judiciary.

DOCUMENTARY ABOUT GOOGLE'S POWER MIGHT BE CHANGING THE CONVERSATION ABOUT BIG TECH



https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/08/google-facebook-creepy-line-big-tech/?utm_medium=email">https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/08/goog ... dium=email">https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/08/google-facebook-creepy-line-big-tech/?utm_medium=email

A documentary detailing the extent to which Facebook and Google profit by exploiting and manipulating nearly every facet of their users' lives came out about six months ago, and some are claiming it is starting to change the conversation about big tech.



The title of the documentary, "The Creepy Line," got its name from an infamous 2010 speech by then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who said it was his company's policy "to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it."



The documentary has interviews with several high-profile public figures, including clinical psychologists Dr. Jordan Peterson and Dr. Robert Epstein, who explain how, in their estimation, these tech giants hold great power that threatens society.



The Daily Caller interviewed the film's director, M.A. Taylor, on how the general perception of Google and Facebook has changed since the movie's debut.



"The film's arguments have been considered. Really, probably the biggest show of force was with the [Google CEO] Sundar Pichai hearings, where research from the film was brought up many, many times on both sides of the aisle—whether the Democrats were denouncing it or the Republicans were promoting it," Taylor stated. "So I think, you know, you don't get a more direct response than having the CEO of Google asked specifically about things that we had in our film."



He went on to call Pichai's testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee last December "a large part of our goal" in making the film.



Pichai was peppered with questions about political biases from Republican lawmakers like Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. Committee members also asked him about leaked communications published by The Daily Caller News Foundation in November. The documents showed the tech giant's employees debated burying conservative media outlets in Google's search function as a response to President Donald Trump's election.



Many Democrats spent the hearing dismissing claims of anti-conservative bias.

What Google and Facebook did not discuss during hearing on white nationalism.

Facebook executives did not provide many details during a congressional hearing Tuesday about why their algorithms are unable to distinguish the difference between hate speech and legitimate conservative content.

Tech experts argue that the tools Facebook, Twitter and Google use to moderate content might not be up to the task.

Google and Facebook told Congress Tuesday that their algorithms make mistakes and sometimes nix content that does not specifically violate company policies.

Google and Facebook executives were grilled Tuesday over their inability to govern white nationalism on their platforms, but they gave few answers about why their algorithms are dinging conservative content.



Neil Potts, Facebook's director of public policy, and Alexandria Walden, counsel for free expression and human rights at Google, spoke to the House Judiciary Committee alongside activists of the Anti-Defamation League, among other groups. House lawmakers asked the two executives about the effectiveness of their artificial intelligence.



That's why hate speech and violent extremism have no place on YouTube," Walden said during the House Judiciary Committee, noting what Google is doing to combat white nationalism on its platform. Walden and Potts also noted that their algorithms sometimes have a difficult time fleshing out the difference between legitimate forms of speech and language that is not permitted.



"We don't and we won't always get it right, but we've improved significantly," Potts added, referring to Facebook's new stance on nixing white nationalism. He noted that the company is not prohibiting people from expressing their love for country and community, but it does not permit bigotry and hatred. Walden made similar comments.



"Hate speech removals can be particularly complex compared to other types of content," she said. "Hate speech, because it often relies on spoken rather than visual ques, is sometimes harder to detect that some forms of branded terrorist propaganda. It's intensely content specific." Neither executive gave a detailed explanation of as to whether either company is capable of making these distinctions.



Conservatives meanwhile argue that Facebook is targeting them because of their politics. President Donald Trump's social media director Dan Scavino Jr., for instance, was temporarily blocked in March from making public Facebook comments.

Liberals treating racism like an electoral prop — that's wrong



It looks like Prime Minister Justin trudeau may have found some inspiration in the Jussie smollett case and has himself decided to cry racism as a Pr ploy.



"white supremacy has no place in Canada," trudeau posted to social media the other day. we'd certainly agree with that statement. but trudeau didn't leave it at that.



"It's time for all parties, including Andrew scheer's Conservative Party, to stand together in denouncing hatred in all its forms," trudeau continued.



It's part of a larger drive-by smear, an attempt to imply in the lead up to the election that scheer is somehow supportive of or in allegiance with white supremacists. It's a completely groundless accusation, which is why they're so vague in making it. but their goal is to clearly plant the seed.



border security Minister bill blair went one step further in his accusations: "white nationalism is a threat to Canada and the safety of our communities," he posted. "Andrew scheer panders to people promoting these hateful views. This isn't leadership."



This all came after the Liberals pounced upon comments made by Conservative senator Leo Housakos who was pressing Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland to be more specific in her suggestion that Canada was somehow a cesspool of white supremacy that places us in grave danger.



because Housakos was reluctant to believe that our streets have been overrun with violent white supremacists and that Canadians are somehow weak-willed enough to fall prey en masse to such an awful ideology, the Liberals are trying to shamelessly twist it into something it's not. It's pretty weak sauce.



It's interesting timing that they're playing this cynical game, because the Liberals are now being denounced by refugee advocates for changes that make it more difficult to claim asylum if you've crossed into Canada illegally at places like roxham road.



Canadians should welcome these changes to the asylum rules. but it sure came at a cost. The Liberals dragged their feet on this file for years and whenever anyone wanted action on this unsustainable situation they called these people racist and other nasty names.



Are the Liberals racist now for clamping down on the border? of course not.



This should be a lesson for them about how reckless it is to toss around these sorts of terms.

This is interesting. The mayor of Winnipeg is trying to block islamofascist, Linda Sarsour from speaking at an event in his city.

Mayor Brian Bowman calls for groups to remove controversial speaker from event



Mayor Brian Bowman is calling for the removal of a controversial speaker from an event Friday.



Linda Sarsour, an American left-wing activist, has been denounced as "anti-Semitic" by politicians, activists and scholars. She is one of three panelists scheduled to speak at the Sorry Not Sorry: Unapologetically Working for Social Justice event, being held at The Ukrainian Labour Temple.



Mayor Bowman said he didn't feel it was "appropriate to provide this individual a public platform to further propagate anti-Semitic views and hate." He and members from B'Nai Brith and the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg held a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

I have seen posts from cc about Linda Sarsour, but I don't know about her myself.

A treacherous turncoat on her own people.

Linda Sarsour's feminism is fake just like Justin Trudeau's feminism.

YouTube censors DeSantis COVID-19 roundtable challenging lockdown consensus



YouTube removed a video of Gov. Ron DeSantis' discussion with credentialed medical experts, saying it violated Community Guidelines

YouTube has removed a video of a public health roundtable hosted by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) with a panel of scientists and researchers who challenged the effectiveness of COVID-19 lockdowns and masks, claiming the discussion violated its Community Guidelines.



The roundtable, which took place at the state Capitol on March 18 and was streamed and posted to YouTube by WTSP-TV, featured former Trump White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Scott Atlas, epidemiologist Professor Sunetra Gupta, and researchers Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Dr. Martin Kulldorff.



The scientists and researchers discussed how public policy measures adopted during the pandemic to mitigate spread of the virus, including quarantining healthy people, shutting businesses down, and mandating mask-wearing, were inspired in part by fear rather than by scientific evidence.



Dr. Bhattacharya called lockdowns "the single biggest public health mistake in history" and argued they failed to protect vulnerable populations like senior citizens from contracting COVID-19. The panel discussed evidence that contradicted some studies that suggest lockdowns may have saved millions of lives globally.

A Facebook spokesperson said on Wednesday that the tech company didn't notify the more than 530 million users whose personal data was obtained through inappropriate means, further noting that they don't have the intention to do so either.



Business Insider first reported the data leak which included information about user's phone numbers, Facebook IDs and names, locations, email, and birthdays.



A Facebook spokesperson told Reuters it also took into account that users could not fix the issue and that the data was publicly available in deciding not to notify users.



The collected information, however, could potentially cause valuable data hacks or prompt other mistreatment.



While the information appears to be several years old, but it's another example of the vast amount of information collected by Facebook and other social media sites, and the limits to how secure that information is.

I'm not happy with Facebook, but I still use IM and video messaging.
