Meanwhile, @Google's China chief appear to have been lying about how much Sergey Brin knew about Google's plans to create a censored search engine in China: theintercept.com/2018/11/29/goo…
"What @sundarpichai said [about the censored Google Chinese search engine being an experiment] was ultimately horse shit." theintercept.com/2018/11/29/goo…

Here's what we know about the American arrested in Moscow on espionage charges:

1. His name is Paul Whelan.
2. The arrest came a week after Putin said Moscow wouldn't retaliate for Maria Butina.
3. That's about it.

Worth noting that this month Putin was asked directly about potentially following the China-Canada-Huawei precedent (and said he ruled it out): thinkprogress.org/moscow-announc…

‘Is @DrJillStein a fellow traveler or a useful idiot?’ nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna9…
Glad this piece (from Sept. 2016) on all of @DrJillStein’s Kremlin-friendly decisions has held up well: intersectionproject.eu/article/russia…
‘Stein and her presidential campaign have largely refused to cooperate with the Senate’s own investigation into Russia’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 election.’ thinkprogress.org/russia-jill-st…

That time George Washington “engaged in the popular, if technically illegal, custom of intoxicating local voters” to win his first election (to the House of Burgesses):
“Only a little more than a third of Washington’s slaves enjoyed the luxury of living with their spouses and children.”
“It is hate to imagine anything that more starkly contradicted Washington’s stated policy of preserving slave families than raffling them off in this public manner.”

Everything Sundar Pinchai says here is disappointing. It’s sad to see a formerly mission-driven company lose its moral compass. Goodbye freedom of information, hello censored search engines. wired.com/story/wired-25… via @WIRED
Pinchai uses a very weak excuse to defend Project Drafonfly: “We are compelled by our mission [to] provide information to everyone, and [China is] 20 percent of the world's population.”

Here’s why we shouldn’t accept this from Google: ‪“We are compelled by our mission [to] provide information to everyone, and [China is] 20 percent of the world's population.”‬
First, many orgs have to balance cultural values w/int’l markets. This isn’t a new problem & certainly not a new problem for Google. “Balancing cultural values” doesn’t obligate compliance w/every restrictive regime. Google knows this, and it’s disingenuous to claim otherwise.

1) This is my Q thread for October 7, 2018.

Q posts can be found here: qmap.pub

My theme: Boom Week
2) Last night, Q reposted the drop about the tactic (apparently well-known to politicians) of collaborating with the media to smear a target.

No doubt, DC politicians are on a [search and destroy] mission to scrub the video from the internet.

3) Nancy Pelosi explained to reporters the "wrap up smear."

NEW: Google built a prototype of a censored search engine for China that links users’ searches to their phone numbers, making it easier for Chinese authorities to monitor people’s queries: theintercept.com/2018/09/14/goo… #Dragonfly
Google compiled a censorship blacklist for the search engine that included terms such as “human rights,” “student protest,” & “Nobel Prize” in Mandarin, according to information newly obtained by @theintercept.
The search platform also appeared to have been tailored to replace weather & air pollution data with info provided by an unnamed source in Beijing. The Chinese government has a record of manipulating details about pollution in the country’s cities.

NEW: Inside Google’s effort to develop a censorship system in China: theintercept.com/2018/08/08/goo… #Dragonfly
According to confidential documents, Google analysed search terms entered into a Beijing-based website to help develop blacklists for the censored search engine it has been planning to launch in China.
As part of the censorship project - code-named Dragonfly - Google sampled search queries from 265.com, a Chinese-language web directory service.

Revealed: Google is planning to launch a censored search engine in China that will blacklist websites & search terms about human rights, democracy, political opposition, academic studies, religion, & peaceful protest: theintercept.com/2018/08/01/goo…
The confidential project - code-named "Dragonfly" - has been underway for more than a year. It's a dramatic shift in Google's policy on China nearly a decade after the internet giant pulled its search engine out of the country, citing concerns about "forces of totalitarianism."
A source familiar w/ the plans is raising concerns about the censored search platform, saying Google is "collaborating in the oppression of [China's] people." Amnesty International has condenmed the project, calling it "a big disaster for the information age."
