- stochastic_monk 8y agoI agree, assuming that it's real. (Which, considering Breitbart's history, could not be the case.)
- noobermin 8y agoBreitbart wouldn't benefit from faking it. If they did fake it, they would have made it look much more unbalanced whilst justifying more censorship.

- zaroth 8y agoBrietbart found quite a lot to take issue with in this presentation, if you care to read their article. Some of the points you might even agree with, or lead you to take greater pause when a company like Google starts down the path of censorship. Weighting results toward “authoritative voices”, delisting results which could damage their advertising revenue, or as they claimed in the infamous all-hands meeting, bending the curve of political discourse in the country to suit their personal world view. Given the power inherent in Google’s near-monopoly on search, I’m personally a lot more critical of potential political or editorial influences over Google’s methods for listing, ranking, and delisting content.
- charlesism 8y ago> Probably not the spin that Breitbart was hoping for. It's a leaked Google document with "Censor" in the title. It doesn't matter what it contains. Breitbart can spin it however they want. Their readership will hear what they want to hear.
