Google Now Targets 'Conspiracy Theory Websites' And UFOs In Latest Update – Disclose.tv

Google is again stepping up their censorship regime on the Internet. The quality raters guidelines of Google have been updated July 27, 2017. This latest update brings many changes, but the biggest is conspiracy theory websites and results in non-English language. Quality Raters Guidelines Of Google Updated To Show Conspiracy Theories The change to the quality raters guidelines means that "conspiracy theories" that are unsubstantiated are shown as if the information in them is a fact.

Conspiracy Theories Include Vatican Knowing About Alien Existence For instance, there is a page that shows theories that are not supported which are about the Vatican, knowing about the existence of Nibiru, world events that have not occurred yet and even the existence of aliens. It goes as far as quoting officials from the Vatican, along with scientists, but the quotes do not seem to give support to the claim of the article, and sometimes the quotes are not from the person who it was said to be.

The Nibiru cataclysm along with events related to it have always been "debunked" by sources in authority. The content that is shown on the page, therefore, shows information that is inaccurate and which misinforms those reading. So, no more UFO related stories to be found on Google soon!

Pages Contradict Facts That Are Historical Pages contradicting historical facts that have been well established, for instance, conspiracy theories that are unsubstantiated, unless of course, the query has indicated that the person is looking for a viewpoint that is alternative. So websites are posting conspiracy theories that have unsubstantiated, and they are being shown as if that information is fact. Ratings are more difficult if the query being searched for has English words and names in it or if it is not clear on whether any English results would seem to be satisfying for a query. Therefore people might want to show judgment and rely on their knowledge of a particular location when it comes to determining the appropriate rating.

People should also bear in mind that each locale is going to have considerations that are unique in regards to the variety of languages and the numbers; these could be local dialects, languages that are regional and official. Also factoring in are the keyboard input language that is in use and the writing systems. The guideline might not show examples of your particular locale. However, it is important users in the same task location along with culture are represented so that queries can be interpreted and the results rated. If there is any doubt, then it was said that it should be assumed that the user would want to see results that are in the task language, unless it has been stated otherwise.

Your welcome, Prophet. I've already been feeling the impact of this new insanity as I try to find good content for the site here. YouTube has demonetized many of the podcasts out there and even taken a few out of the field entirely by doing this. My feelings on this is it's the cooperate censorship we were all warned about years ago.

Well there is more than one search engine out there Google does not have the market corned yet. I actually think this is going to hurt them in the long run as its going to drive users away.

Well, it owns YouTube, so it's driving many of the users off that platform. Waiting to see if a new platform pops up soon to replace it.

YouTube Moves To Censor “Controversial” Content – Brings ADL On Board As Flagger

Excerpt:

Even more unsettling, YouTube’s new policy doesn’t stop with merely censoring content.

According to the announcement, any user who searches for keywords or terms deemed “controversial” by YouTube’s chosen authorities will be redirected to a playlist of “curated” videos intended to “directly confront and debunk” the content sought by the user.

Critics have warned that the mix of censorship and redirection to “curated” propaganda videos would create a “PC, extreme-left, propagandizing echo chamber” with consequences that would go far beyond combatting “online terrorism.” Indeed, given that Google’s Jigsaw once created tools intended to bolster the ranks of al-Qaeda in Syria, Google and YouTube’s desire to fight the spread of actual terrorism is dubious, making it all the more likely that this latest move is instead targeting free speech and expression.
 
I also believe that the actions by Google will hurt themselves in the long run. I have to ask, is this an initiative of Google or are some other forces at work to "suggest" to Google that they start this obvious censorship. Alternatives will be sought such as those suggested above. Lets all hope that these alternatives remain.

Just curious, how many think that the YouTube video above will be available in six months, three months, one month ?
 
I don't see them being this hawlkish with porn sites. Seems they give that a pass. I get the evil feel behind these moves
