Should Youtube silence the right?
@piloteer
What exactly, did YouTube, do, or is doing?
I found a news article based on your words?
https://amp-usatoday-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/1248099002?amp_js_v=a2&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQA#aoh=15624995468162&amp_ct=1562499710675&referrer=https://www.google.com&amp_tf=From %1$s&ampshare=https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/09/10/trump-google-youtube-search-results-biased-against-republicans-conservatives-column/1248099002/ OPINION"Trump is right: More than Facebook & Twitter, Google threatens democracy, online freedom"
Google, YouTube and other tech giants filter, suppress and even directly attack conservatives. This must stop to protect our free and open society.BRAD PARSCALE | OPINION CONTRIBUTOR |8:35 pm EDT September 10, 2018"Americans must be wary of powerful institutions that seek to control what we see and hear.
As the internet has become an increasingly central part of modern life, Big Tech giants such as Facebook, Twitter and Google have increasingly sought to become the gatekeepers of the internet and political discourse. Without any sort of democratic mandate, these companies have appointed themselves the arbiters of acceptable thought, discussion and searches online. "
"These companies’ pervasive command of the internet — and blatant desire to control how we interact with it — is a direct threat to a free society. And arguably the worst offender is Google.
Google claims to value free expression and a free and open internet, but there is overwhelming evidence that the Big Tech giant wants the internet to be free and open only to political and social ideas of which it approves.
“Google & others are suppressing voices of conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!” President Trump tweeted last month. "
"Google has directly targeted Republicans"
"The president is absolutely right.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Google was accused of manipulating search results to favor Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. Also, research at Harvard University found that Google’s search rankings are not objective, and in 2017, the company was fined billions of dollars by the European Union for manipulating search results.
Google also maintains at least nine shadowy blacklists that affect what the public sees when using its search engine.
When it’s not manipulating the internet to prevent users from viewing right-wing content, Google is directly attacking that content. A report by The Daily Caller News Foundation revealed that Google’s fact-checking service “fact-checked” only conservative news websites, and that in many cases, these fact-checks were outright wrong. What does it say about the fact-checker when its fact-checking is biased and incorrect? "
"Sometimes, the tech giant just attacks conservatives directly. In one infamous example, a Google search result listed “Nazism” as an official ideology of the California GOP. North Carolina Sen. Trudy Wade, a Republican, was shocked to discover that the top search result for her name returned a photo labeling her as a bigot.
If something vaguely conservative and intellectually stimulating manages to get past Google’s content gatekeepers, they just remove it. YouTube, which is owned by Google, routinely demonetizes, restricts and censors conservative content. One target of YouTube was Dennis Prager’s PragerU, which had 40 of its videos restricted. Prager sued the social media video giant this year following these unfounded restrictions. YouTube has also been known for banning pro-life videos.
Google’s eager adoption of the role of censor should come as little surprise. Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., has a demonstrated track record of combining the role of Democrat activist with his job.
Google and YouTube shape our online reality"
"WikiLeaks emails revealed that Schmidt worked directly with the Clinton campaign in 2016 and was instrumental in forming “The Groundwork,” an online startup company created to help Clinton win the election. He was also seen wearing a “staff” badge at the Clinton election night party.
While President Barack Obama was in office, Google kept a cozy relationship with the White House. Google representatives attended White House meetings more than once a week during the first seven years of Obama’s presidency, and almost 250 individuals left government service to work for Google or vice versa while Obama was in office. The Obama administration may also have squashed an antitrust investigation into the company.
Of course, the problem with Google extends well beyond Eric Schmidt. As the saga of James Damore showed, the political bias at Google is institutional."
"Google’s nefarious activities should concern not just conservatives and Republicans, but every American who values free speech and a truly free and open internet.
Google’s broad and pervasive role in the lives of almost every American today cannot be overstated. More than90 percent of all online searches are conducted through Google or YouTube. The media giant’s video-sharing site has 1 billion active users a month, many of whom go there to learn and share conservative ideas only to find their quest for knowledge subverted by faceless ideologues.
Google is clearly manipulating and controlling the political narrative in favor of Democrats and the left, and silencing conservatives and Republicans. A company with such power and influence cannot simply be allowed to play the biased gatekeeper of political discourse.
Americans who believe in a truly open society and internet won’t stand for it any longer."
A thought comes to mind:
Is it possible, that maybe Goolge, YouTube, and other individual websites, are acting, or utilizing through the internet it self, with their own forms, or types of (Internet Opinion Journalism?)

Proposals on how to tackle the issue of gun related crime

"I know your not playing a game. Your intentionally avoiding a decision to create an atmosphere of whole truth."
Adding to the discussion, with more truth.

In 2016, vehicle crashes were the leading cause of death for children between 1 and 19 years of age. The next-most frequent: guns.
Gun deaths that year killed almost twice as many children as cancer, which was the third-leading cause of death, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday (Dec. 20). Firearm-related injuries made up 15.4% of all childhood deaths that year, killing 3,143 kids. (Cancer caused 1,853 deaths, or just over 9% over childhood deaths. Cars killed 4,074 children.)
One in three US homes with children under 18 had a firearm in the house, and 43% of those homes reported that the gun was kept unlocked and loaded, according to the report.
In 2016, children in the US were 36 times more likely to be killed by a gun than the overall rate for children of 12 of the other wealthiest countries in the world, the researchers found. The US rate also eclipses that of low-to-middle-income countries; there were five times as many childhood gun deaths in the US than the overall rate in the seven low-to-middle-income countries that had 2016 data available."
"The researchers used data from a US Centers for Disease Control database that compiles death certificates throughout the US; 2016 is the most recent year for which complete data is available. Of the 3,143 US childhood gun deaths that year, 1,865, or about 60%, were homicides. Another 35% (1,102 deaths) were suicides, and 4% (126 deaths) were unintentional shootings. The circumstances surrounding the remaining 1% (50 deaths) were too unclear to be categorized in this way.
“Children in America are dying or being killed at rates that are shameful,” Edward W. Campion, the executive editor of the New England Journal of Medicine and a physician, wrote in an editorial that was published the same day as the study. “The sad fact is that a child or adolescent in the United States is 57% more likely to die by the age of 19 years than those in other wealthy nations. America’s children and adolescents are at far higher risk for death than are youth in other developed countries such as England, Sweden, and Australia."
More truth:
393 million guns in the U.S., 325 million U.S. citizens, (and thousands are shot, maimed, crippled, or killed) by a criminal, or an offender, or a first time offender, with both illegally obtained guns, and legally obtained guns, and those 900,000 Police Officers, get to deal with that nonsense, whenever a crime has occurred?
We're the one country, that has more guns than any other country?
It's a sadistic shame, that some humans, seem to have more respect for a gun, than they seem to have for themselves, or for the other humans around them?

Why do Christians defend the immorality of the Christian god as depicted in the Bible ?
@MayCaesar ;
"I am not sure if you are being serious. Crusades were organised campaigns of mass murder and pillage that ravaged lands and exterminated the population."
"The Crusades were a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The most commonly known Crusades are the campaigns in the Eastern Mediterranean aimed at recovering the Holy Land from Muslim rule, but the term "Crusades" is also applied to other church-sanctioned campaigns."
I call the murders committed by the criminals, and the offenders, against their innocent victims, and those victims families, as an overall, self sanctioned campaign, against society itself, via those same criminals, and offenders, having killed innocent people for decades now?
I view those crimes as a Crusade, against society itself.
I call the rapes committed by the criminals, and the offenders, against their innocent victims, and those victims families, as another type of a self sanctioned Crusade, against, society overall again.
You have humans committing abortions, and some view abortion as murder?
And how many fetuses are done away with each year, via abortion?
Couldn't an individual look at that sad situation, and maybe in a sense look at that happening, as another probable Crusade, against society overall again?
So many want to judge God, and this or that religion, for what some of humans do against the rest of society?
Why not place those blames, where they rightly belong, within the confines of those criminal, and or offenders human hands, and within the very same shoes that the criminal, or the offender is wearing?
Blaming God, or any religion for what some human beings does against the rest of humanity... Show me in what Courtroom, that blaming God, or any religion, would hold any sort of logical water, in a U.S. Courtroom of law?
