Big Tech Targets Conservatives

June 13, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Big Tech Targets Conservatives” on Spreaker.

The nation’s largest technology giants are abandoning their positions as free speech advocates and actively taking sides to silence and punish conservatives, and Project Veritas President James O’Keefe says Pinterest’s treatment of his group and the pro-life organization Live Action is the latest proof.

A whistleblower reached out to Project Veritas to report that Live Action was inaccessible on Pinterest because it was included in the site’s “porn domain,” which blocks access to pornographic sites.  When confronted with this obvious error, Pinterest removed Live Action from the porn domain.

But a short time later, Pinterest banned Live action altogether.  That’s because the whistleblower provided more information that Project Veritas promptly made public about how the site openly discriminated against Live Action.

“There was a conversation internally on a Slack thread, which is a text-messaging internal thread and the employee at Pinterest actually said that in the private messaging board [a Pinterest official] said, ‘I’ve seen Live Action on there.’

“She basically said it shouldn’t be on there but we’re going to keep it on there.  That proved that the executives at Pinterest knew that Live Action wasn’t pornography but was putting it on the list anyway,” said O’Keefe.

But the crackdown wasn’t done.  Project Veritas published a video highlighting that Pinterest was intentionally classifying Live Action incorrectly.  Not only did Pinterest boot Live Action off the platform, but YouTube banned the video and Twitter suspended the Project Veritas account for publishing private information.

Right-leaning sites like PJ Media and Zero Hedge were also lumped in the porn domain.

O’Keefe calls this a watershed moment in which the major social media sites and “big tech” are no longer presenting themselves as champions of free speech but of a political and ideological agenda.

“The big tech companies have drawn a line in the sand.  They’re choosing to have an editorial agenda.  they’re no longer just big tech companies that have platforms.  They’re publishers.  Now they’re trying to stop and censor and prohibit the American people from having the information that’ll wake them up, that’ll shake them awake,” said O’Keefe.

Listen to the full podcast to hear O’Keefe explain why he believes the big tech companies are actually more powerful than the three branches of government and far more powerful than the traditional media outlets of network and cable news and the major newspapers.  He also details what he wants the tech companies to admit and why he finds it Orwellian that the tech crackdown on conservatives coincides with liberal politicians declaring that certain – including being pro-life – are no longer acceptable in public discourse.

Abbott Shines, YouTube’s “Borderline” Censorship, AOC on the Run

June 10, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Abbott Shines, YouTube’s “Borderline” Censorship, AOC on the Run” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America praise Texas Governor Greg Abbott for a series of conservative legislative victories. They also react as YouTube admits it is suppressing what it deems “borderline” content. And in a double crazy martini, they discuss Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (literally) running from Republican competition while reportedly entertaining a future primary challenge to either Sen. Chuck Schumer or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

Broward County Accountability, Libs Target Internet, Maduro Assassination Attempt

August 7, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Broward County Accountability, Libs Target Internet, Maduro Assassination Attempt” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are pleased to see a key figure from the Florida high school shooting replaced in the Broward County Sheriff’s Office but are irritated the media has stopped covering Sheriff Scott Israel, who still has his job despite failing to perform his duties before and during the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. They also reject Democrats’ call to regulate the internet as a public utility in the wake of Facebook, Apple, and YouTube’s ban of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. And they mourn for Venezuelans as dictator Nicolas Maduro survived a botched drone assassination attempt, and they discuss regulations on drones and the potential to use them for terrorism.
