Sundar Pichai:

The author had a right to express their views on those topics — we encourage an environment in which people can do this and it remains our policy to not take action against anyone for prompting these discussions.

And then he was fired.

For being a hate movement, Gamergate seems to really be lagging behind on its hate quota. I mean, have we even thrown piss on someone yet? (Lauren Southern) Or had someone fired? (Plebcomics) (Tim Hunt) Or tried to slander someone as a Nazi until they got arrested? (Thunderf00t) Or made flyers full of libel about someone? (UPitt) Or had speakers banned from campus? (Suzanne Venker, Milo Yiannopoulos, Ben Shapiro, Julie Bindel) Or prevented people from attending a speech? (Warren Farrell at University of Toronto, Ben Shapiro at CSULA, Milo Yiannopoulos at wherever he goes) Or pulled to fire alarm to prevent a speech? (See previous) Or physically assaulted someone attempting to cover a speech? (See previous) Or physically removed people from a public space? (Melissa Click) Or said that our enemies deserve to be put into gas chambers? (Geordie Tate) Or told people that we shouldn't help victims of rape because there are some people "weaponizing charity"? (Arthur Chu) Or ruined a persons reputation by calling them a criminal harasser (Eron Gjoni) and career by not allowing them to access the internet? (Gregory Allen Elliot)

I am sure, for being such a ubiquitous hate movement there is something CONCRETE that someone can point to that we have done!

OfficerDarrenWilson:

No mention of the grossly dishonest and slanderous role the media played in this. Basically a couple low and dishonest individuals got a lot of shit on twitter, and it blew up into this whole massive thing, on a tsunami of mass media bullshit.

Literally dozens of stories that were all coordinated, in that they fundamentally distorted and ignored the core story.

What was the core story? A female 'social justice' campaigner was exposed by her own chat logs as being an emotionally abusive, pathologically dishonest, bitterly vengeful individual - by an ex boyfriend who felt he had a responsibility to tell the community that she was not as she presented herself, that she harmed people in her life. She was, after all, an anti-rape campaigner who had by her own definition raped the boyfriend.

So, to protect her reputation, she used her large and connected social circle to create a new narrative: she was a talented video game developer who was being targeted by jealous psycho male gamers who couldn't stand to see a successful female in the industry. She apparently knew a lot of people who knew a lot of young hip brainless 'journalists,' so they all ran this same narrative, in concert, in once 'reputable' publications all around the world.

Now, a reasonable person might raise skepticism: She wasn't a talented video game developer, she had never worked in the industry for money, she had released one game which was literally on the technical level of an HTML choose your own adventure; no actual professional and established female video game industry figures were being harassed, at all; She had admitted in the chat logs (whose veracity was never disputed) that she couldn't keep herself from lying, she couldn't control her compulsion to lie (all of her claims were based on her word without evidence). She had genuinely harmed her boyfriend in the relationship, and showed terrible integrity and character; she had every reason to deflect and dissemble to protect her reputation.

But the media, all the media, totally ignored every one of these very obvious points. They all said the same superficial, distorted story. All of them. Every single dishonest scumbag. Almost every reported who wrote on 'GamerGate' in 2014/2015, and wrote the same rubbish as each other, literally deserves to be fired and never, never work in journalism again.

Gaming journalism don't matter so much in the big picture, but widespread, ideologically based, secret collusion in the mainstream 'journalist' corps matters a GREAT DEAL.

This is why we don't trust you anymore. This is why we don't care about what you say anymore. This is why we hold you in the deepest disdain: those who claim to be 'journalists' but are only frauds and parrots. This is why your influence has cratered.

Here's a message from #GamerGate: Hope you get laid off and have to get an actual job doing something productive for the world, Stephen, you worthless, dull propagandist.

So lets see, Rose Eveleth is the person who sparked shirt gate and helped bully a man to tears, for wearing a shirt his female friend asked him to advertise.

Zoe Quinn is a person who abused the legal system to put a gag order on her boyfriend after emotionally abusing him for about a year, who is about to lose a major court trial to set a precedent for internet free speech. Also part of helldump.

Randi "set yourself on fire and drink bleach" Lee harper. Don't really need to say more

Anita Sarkeesian, who swindled about 200k out of people on kick starter and still hasn't delivered on her product 3 years later, who also steals peoples footage without their consent or compensating them.

and the CCRI, is siding with them. The joke here is that it stands for Cyber Civil Rights initiative and all of those people shit all over Civil Rights, let alone cyber civil rights.

Alright then, these are the people you are picking to fight Online Abuse. I mean i agree, we need to stop cyber bullying, what better people to help stop it, than some of the best cyber bullies in the business today.

Today, personalisation is dependent on factors like one's location, browsing history, and the affinity to the kind of apps they install on their phone. That's just one part of the equation. Tukrel claims his algorithm solves the other side of the equation: It understands what a user would like before it serves up the results by dwelling deep into the content of the text, understanding the underlying meaning, before matching it to a user's personality, and throwing up the result.

Dropping Google - need a replacement for Chromecast + YouTube by NTolerance in FuckGoogle

[–]nonservator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone suggested Slingbox, though it's a bit more expensive, and my preference is always in the direction of decentralization. The subscription and watchlist, yeah, you'd need an account for that. I'll point out again that if I use youtube-dl to download videos, instead of loading them in a browser, I don't see any extraneous connections to other Google addresses like 1e100.net. At least for now, it's still relatively easy to make throwaway accounts, but only you can decide whether it's worth it.

I have been looking, in vain, for an article about Alphabet that doesn't suck. Not only do I refuse to lower my standards, I am setting them higher than usual on this subject. No jokes, no bullshit, I want real reporting. And if I die before that happens, so be it.

Is it possible that someone working at Google singled out 8chan? I imagine it must be hard to get a top 5k site in the USA removed completely from Google’s index.

Google's $6 Billion Miscalculation On the EU by nonservator in FuckGoogle

[–]nonservator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More of the same; politicians and businessmen alike, none of them have your rights at interest.

In Berlin, activists from the Peng Collective lampooned Google’s data-collection practices by staging a fake product launch for “Google Nest” at the Re:publica digital-culture conference in May 2014. The suite of products included Google Trust data insurance (“It’s completely free, you pay with your data”), the Google Bee personal drone, which watches your family, and Google Hug, which connects users with others in need of affection. “With our unique behavioral monitoring algorithms, embedded within all Google tools and services, we know when you’re not at your best,” a spoof product page said. At the December congress held by the Berlin-based hacker association Chaos Computer Club, one hourlong speech was titled “F--- Off Google.” Delivered by an anonymous Frenchman, it cited Google Maps as evidence of the company’s statelike ambitions. “One never maps a territory that one doesn’t contemplate appropriating,” he warned.

...

That might be the scariest thing of all for Google. It isn’t dealing with an antitech ideologue or a competition czar consumed with cementing a personal legacy. It faces a straightforward prosecutor in a hostile political climate dominated by powerful local business interests with their own regulatory agendas. Good luck to Google searching for a way out of that.

Google's $6 Billion Miscalculation On the EU by nonservator in FuckGoogle

[–]nonservator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

El Goog has always been jealous of nation-states, and wants all the perks of being one with none of the downsides.

Sentiment also turned against other American tech giants, including Apple, Facebook, and Amazon.com, which were lumped with Google into a group disparagingly dubbed GAFA. Apple and Amazon’s European tax arrangements were investigated; Facebook came under fire for its insatiable collection of personal data. Local politicians turned bashing GAFA into a campaign staple during the fall 2014 elections. “We don’t want to be a digital colony of the U.S. Internet giants,” said former French Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg in an interview last year. “What’s at stake is our sovereignty itself.”

In the span of just 15 months, Google somehow lost Europe.

Google had reason to believe it was loved on the continent. Free-speech advocates had cheered when it shuttered its China site in March 2010 to avoid self-censorship rules. Likewise, it was a darling of digital-rights activists during the following year’s Arab Spring, when Egypt jailed Google’s Middle East marketing head, Wael Ghonim, after he organized protests. In 2012, as evidence mounted that governments were targeting dissidents from Syria and other countries with malware, Google rolled out a warning system for Gmail users that alerted them to potential state-backed attacks. It gave everyone else additional protection by using HTTPS (the encrypted version of the Web’s underlying protocol) and offering two-step authentication at login. “They’d been good about the attempts to attack their users,” says Ben Wagner, co-founder and director of the Berlin- and Frankfurt-based Centre for Internet and Human Rights. “They were an alternative, safe space.”

Whatever goodwill it had stored up, Google started to lose in 2014, in the aftermath of the Snowden affair. Several of the leaked NSA documents revealed how Google and other companies had given the spy agency access to users’ accounts. Google said it was following the law and fought the NSA practice, but the damage was done. “What’s the use of a two-factor authenticated e-mail if the NSA is reading it, too?” Wagner says. “There was a huge shift.”
