THREAD🚨 #GoogleLeaks #TwitterFiles

In 2019, 950 pages of Google's internal documents leaked, providing evidence of Google's use of blacklists and machine learning algorithms to censor conservatives and populists.

These are the type of source documents @elonmusk should release.

#2 Google receives 5.6 billion daily searches, controlling 90% of global search traffic.

YouTube has 2.3 billion users.

Our beliefs are inseparably linked to search results, but Google is a biased source of information, and the tech platform actively manipulates what we see.

#3 In 2021, former Google software engineer Zachary Vorhies (@Perpetualmaniac) published a book where he explained that the turning point was the election of @realDonaldTrump.

The morning after the election, employees cried, lost their minds, and planned their resistance.

#4 Google co-founder, Sergey Brin, said in an all-hands company meeting, "I certainly find this election deeply offensive, and I know that many of you do too.”

"Many people apparently don't share the values that we have."

#5 Kent Walker, Google's Chief Legal Officer, suggested Trump voters were motivated by "fear," "xenophobia," and "hatred."

He described how the company would take on the rise of "populism" and "nationalism."

#6 In many ways, Google did lose the 2016 election to Donald Trump.

Alphabet Chairman Eric Schmidt gave Hillary Clinton's team a campaign plan a full year before she announced her run for president.

Schmidt was the "head outside advisor" to the campaign.

#7 The Clinton campaign’s chief technology officer, Stephanie Hannon, and chief product officer, Osi Imeokparia, came from Google.

Two other key Clinton campaign staffers, Derek Parham and Jason Rosenbaum, also previously worked at Google.

#8 Google paid for free rides for a get-out-the-vote for Hispanic voters operation — and employees called it a “silent donation” to Hillary Clinton's campaign in internal emails because they thought it would help her win.

#9 Tech employees are notoriously aligned with the political left, with 96% of Google’s employees donating to Democrats during the 2018 U.S. midterm election.

#10 From Vorhies’ perspective, when Google launched a crusade against so-called “fake news,” what it meant, in actuality, was censoring the ideas and arguments of @realDonaldTrump and his populist supporters.

Anything “pro-Trump” or "anti-Hillary" was labeled as "fake news."

#11 In 2019, Project Veritas released footage of Google executive, Jen Gennai, discussing “preventing the next Donald Trump situation.”

She remarked, “We’re also training our algorithms, like, if 2016 happened again, would we have, would the outcome be different?”

#13 YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki described how Google uses "machine learning" and "classifiers" to bury "trashy news" and promote "authoritative news."

Machine learning is when algorithms are fed real-world information and learn to make decisions based on the patterns they find.

#14 What were these classifiers?

Here's a leaked document, "Fringe ranking/classifier."

Google ranked ABC, CBS, and CNN as more “authoritative” than the “trashy” Fox News and Breitbart.

This is how Big Tech manually interjects political bias into search results and algorithms.

#15 They define a few fringe searches and mention humans training their censorship AI, followed by a flow chart that says, "People are programmed."

These are the type of source documents @elonmusk should release to show how Twitter promoted specific ideas and suppressed others.

#16 Vorhies released one Google blacklist that flagged hundreds of conservative websites to be censored or pushed down in search rankings.

For example, Daily Caller, Western Journal, RedState, Gateway Pundit, Steven Crowder, Michelle Malkin, and Glenn Beck were censored.

#17 Vorhies released a YouTube blacklist that showed hundreds of topics censored from search results:

•Las Vegas Shooter
•Sandy Hook
•GOP Train Crash
•Heritage Foundation
•Anthony Bourdain Murder
•Kate Spade Suicide
•Pro life
•Late Term Abortions
•Crisis Actors

#18 Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, and VP Karan Bhatia, had previously testified to Congress that the company wasn't "manually intervening" or "utilizing blacklist" in search results.

Based on Google's own internal documents, Sundar Pichai and Karan Bhatia lied to Congress.

#19 A study found that Google cost Republican candidates over $2 billion in donations since 2019 by flagging 77% of their fundraising emails as spam.

During the same time, Gmail marked less than 11% of Democrat fundraising emails as spam.

#20 @elonmusk should consider allowing Dr. Robert Epstein to examine the #TwitterFiles.

He's a Harvard-educated researcher, the former editor-in-chief of "Psychology Today," and the premier academic studying how tech giants use algorithms to manipulate behavior.

@JanJekielek

#22 @DrREpstein's research over the last decade has documented how Google, Facebook, and Twitter shift millions of votes without anyone noticing.

Many of the concepts that his research pioneered are used by Twitter to subconsciously swing election results.

#23 In summary, @elonmusk should release source documents on blacklists and machine learning algorithms used to stifle free speech.

Giving access to an expert like @DrREpstein would help show the world how a handful of silicon-valley executives manipulate the minds of billions.
