Google profits off a lot of stuff I disagree with too. I don't really blame Google, though. They're just a search engine, right? The real problem is that people can say things I don't agree with on the Internet. Something needs to be done about this. We should really look to China for leadership in this area.
Ok, enough sarcasm. What is really interesting about this is that the old saying "history is written by the winner" may have to be changed to "history is auctioned off to the highest bidder".
- staticelf 10y agoYeah, fuck people that express different opinions.
- kafkaesq 10y agoThe real problem is that people can say things I don't agree with on the Internet. I'm sure you know this already, but Google's search rankings !== "the internet". Not only that, but they've been downranking all kinds of content -- including spam of all sorts; and most assiduously (and famously), virtually all forms of pornography -- for nearly as longs as they've been in existence. Which no one calls "censorship", or "blocking stuff I disagree with"† -- because of course it isn't. It's simply a matter of editorial discretion -- of the kind that all mass media companies have always engaged in, since mass media became a thing. Got a problem with that? Start your own search engine. † As if holocaust denialism were a simple matter of "stuff I disagree with". But it isn't of course -- which again, I'm sure you knew already.
