Google still Misinforms Us about COVID-19 Treatment

Big Tech, first hand evidence, google, healthcare, L0, ,

2021-04-13 update. Google has a special factcheck tool, which it uses to misinform the public, decision makers, and journalists on all kinds of topics, including the use of  Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin against COVID-19.

India has been successfully using HCQ for treatment and prophylaxis of COVID-19 almost from the beginning. This is why it has so low COVID-19 mortality (124 deaths per Million, 14x lower than the US, despite much higher population density in India). But Google found an obscure website there, which correctly states that W.H.O. did not approve HCQ for COVID-19, then it proceeds to deny its effectiveness. Google flatly denies effectiveness of HCQ and IVM against COVID-19, even admitting that their effectiveness was asserted by doctors. This article is the first result in Google’s “Fact Check Explorer”. Continue reading Google still Misinforms Us about COVID-19 Treatment →

Google and Twitter services are not First Amendment speech 

anti-social media, Big Tech, BT legal, google, L1, ,

Twitter recently filed an arrogant lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, claiming to be a publisher making editorial decisions, as if Twitter’s 70 million US users submitted to Twitter’s policy on all topics discussed on twitter. Before this lawsuit, Twitter had called itself a communication utility or channel. This article does not discuss the legal fallacies and factual errors in the complaint. However, one thing that caught my attention is that Twitter cited the influential case Zhang v. Baidu (Federal District Court for SDNY, 2014), in which the court ruled in favor of Baidu. This decision brings us to a stealthy PR campaign, which Google ran in 2011-2014.  Continue reading Google and Twitter services are not First Amendment speech  →

Antifa Tactics at the Capitol on January 6

#J6, L2, , ,

Former US Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund testified about “the rioters”:

“These people came specifically with equipment. You’re bringing climbing gear to a demonstration, explosives, chemical spray – you’re coming prepared … The fact that the group attacked our West Front 20 minutes before the event at the Ellipse ended …”

This is at least an hour before Trump fans, listening to the end of his speech, could have arrived. MPD acting chief Robert Contee said “the rioters” used hand signals, radio communication, and chemicals; placed two pipe bombs; and acted in coordination. This is consistent with the tactics of some Antifa groups and other long standing seditious leftist organizations. Read Unmasked by Andy Ngo.

The DC prosecution (including the FBI, the Capitol police, and the Metropolitan Police Department) blame the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys without adequate evidence, and look away from the Dem allies.

DC intimidates witnesses of Jan 6 events

#J6, healthcare, L2, ,

There were only fourteen arrests made inside the Capitol building, on January 6. In the following days, DC authorities started an unprecedented witch-hunt, threatening to arrest hundreds of people. Not only individuals inside of the Capitol building, but people standing outside on the Capitol steps and even on the lawn, have been accused of committing crime (Yahoo News). The unhinged acting DC federal prosecutor, Michael Sherwin, announced that possible charges against members of the public would range from unlawful entry to conspiracy and sedition. Unnecessary to say, that over the last years Democrats encouraged rioting in and around the Capitol building, and their rioters got away with slaps on the wrist.

Apple bans of Gab, Parler, and Breitbart make iPhone a defective product

Big Tech,

It is bizarre enough when Google, Facebook, and Twitter ban conservative expression. But it is incredible when Apple does the same thing with its products (smartphones and tablets). A service provider, like Google, Facebook, or Microsoft, has some latitude in how it provides its services. A product manufacturer however, has no such latitude. It is liable for all defects that impair the product’s function, which used to be unintentional. Third party apps are the main feature of a smartphone. However, Apple uses its App Store to impair iPhone when the consumers want to view conservative information, use social networks that do not discriminate against conservatives (like Parler), and access healthcare information which Apple does not like or which tends to cut into its profits. Even more egregiously, Apple lies to its consumers about these actions. Continue reading Apple bans of Gab, Parler, and Breitbart make iPhone a defective product →
