Let& #39;s recap...THREAD:
ITEM 1.
Video leaked to Breitbart shows Google execs calling Trump& #39;s election "offensive", an exec threatening to make populism a "blip."
Use of their anti-extremism search manipulation tool, "Jigsaw," is discussed in the context of the Trump movement. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-google-leaderships-dismayed-reaction-to-trump-election/">https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018...

ITEM 2.
"The Good Censor"
A smoking gun document -- Google& #39;s own researchers admit the internet has been captured by a handful of corporations (including them) that are now censoring news and political speech. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/10/09/the-good-censor-leaked-google-briefing-admits-abandonment-of-free-speech-for-safety-and-civility/">https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018...

ITEM 4
Did I say "smoking gun"? That& #39;s how my Google source described this leak, of YouTube& #39;s political search blacklist, which reorders search results for "controversial queries" -- like abortion, the federal reserve, David Hogg, Maxine Waters. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/01/16/google-youtube-search-blacklist-smoking-gun/">https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019...

ITEM 5:
More items from YouTube& #39;s search blacklist.
@Project_Veritas and @Perpetualmaniac would later reveal even more items from the list, including search terms related to Ireland& #39;s 2018 referendum on legalizing abortion. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/07/30/new-whistleblower-allegation-youtube-manipulated-federal-reserve-search-results-in-response-to-msnbc-hosts-complaint/">https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019...

ITEM 6:
The censorship documented above isn& #39;t enough for Google& #39;s most radical employees. They want sites like @BreitbartNews completely deplatformed.
If Biden wins, he& #39;ll likely use the federal government to add to the pressure. A critical election! https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/02/13/exclusive-google-employees-are-trying-to-pull-ad-revenue-from-breitbart-news/">https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018...
