why read on beyond having videos removed?

the method is immaterial

The video isn’t removed, the recommendation is. As in it won’t appear in “watch next” or “you might like this”, not that it’s removed from the platform.

she urged that videos be removed.

you gonna keep pretending the letter doesnt say what it says?

The left likes the restriction of what is allowed on google or you tube as long as it is their narrative being supported by doing so.

No one has a right to use someone else’s private platform.

Google is free to do as they wish.

govmnt is urging platforms to control info to their liking

A Congresswoman is suggesting that Google not reward and promote disinformation.

Treat nonsense like nonsense.

“disinformation”

Yes… like Flat Earth, Sandy Hook Conspiracies and Anti Vaccine nonsense.

Disinformation.

all things you dont agree with

sorry others do. they shouldn’t be pressured by govmnt to keep quiet

no matter how much you disagree

Then don’t use their free service.

Easy Peasy.

You would change your tune quickly if they censured your positions.

No… I wouldn’t.

I just wouldn’t use their free service.

I use someone else sometimes when google doesn’t show what i am looking for.

They are already censuring actually.

Then don’t use them.

Easy Peasy.

You oppose differing opinions and speech? Got it.

Is Google the only place on the internet to exchange ideas?

People are free to talk about whatever they want.

If a company doesn’t want to amplify and reward the spreading of nonsense then that is their choice to make.

Google has a choice as to whether they want to take her advice.

Yay Freedom.

And those “others” can go to 100 different internet places to get their kooky internet conspiracy fix.

Why should Google be forced to carry it?

So did you snip out the remainder of the sentance on purpose or accidently to change the context of what it said.

It didn’t say remove the video’s immediately, it said remove the videos from the recommendation algorithm. The videos would still be there for anyone to view if they wanted.

We should probably just refer to her as comrade.

thinkingman · February 2, 2020, 2:22pm

maybe you didnt see this post:

shes pressuring to remove vids, regardless of where they are presented or promoted, or where they appear in recommendation algos etc

to an end where something that would otherwise be there if it werent for her

PurpnGold · February 2, 2020, 2:22pm

Also it is a request, not a requirement, for Google to do so. If Google chooses to remove the videos from its recommendation algorithm, then that is their choice. But no one is forcing them to do anything.

Losing money would make them change faster that a strongly worded letter from a congresswoman

westaussie · February 2, 2020, 2:23pm

I do remember the maxims: “fair and balanced” and “we report, you decide”.

Jezcoe · February 2, 2020, 2:24pm

How so?

I am saying that a private company is able to do what they wish with their private platform.

If someone doesn’t like it then use a different platform.

How is that not Freedom?
