This year, we've seen an unprecedented push to implement censorship across all online platforms, making it increasingly difficult to obtain and share crucial information about health topics. If you've been having difficulty finding articles from my website in your Google searchers of late, you're not alone.

Google traffic to Mercola.com has plummeted by about 99% over the past few weeks. The reason? Google's June 2019 broad core update, which took effect June 3,1 removed most Mercola.com pages from its search results.

One of the primary sources Google's quality raters are instructed to use when assessing the expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness of an author or website is Wikipedia.

For me looks like nice plan, so it will be getting worse fast.

Progress is fast, as I said:

YouTube is changing its community guidelines to ban videos promoting the superiority of any group as a justification for discrimination against others based on their age, gender, race, caste, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status.

The move expected to result in the removal of thousands of channels across YouTube.

We will remove content denying that well-documented violent events, like the Holocaust or the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, took place.

In addition to removing videos that violate our policies, we also want to reduce the spread of content that comes right up to the line.

Thanks to this change, the number of views this type of content gets from recommendations has dropped by over 50% in the U.S. Our systems are also getting smarter about what types of videos should get this treatment, and we’ll be able to apply it to even more borderline videos moving forward.

And surprise

if a user is watching a video that comes close to violating our policies, our systems may include more videos from authoritative sources (like top news channels) in the "watch next" panel.

Wow.

Facebook going big

Proactive Rate: Of the content we took action on, how much was detected by our systems before someone reported it to us. This metric typically reflects how effective AI is in a particular policy area.

In six of the policy areas we include in this report, we proactively detected over 95% of the content we took action on before needing someone to report it. For hate speech, we now detect 65% of the content we remove, up from 24% just over a year ago when we first shared our efforts. In the first quarter of 2019, we took down 4 million hate speech posts and we continue to invest in technology to expand our abilities to detect this content across different languages and regions.

Google has launched some new tools in a bid to fight misinformation about upcoming elections in Europe. A large part of that effort is focused on YouTube, where Google will launch publisher transparency labels in Europe, showing news sources which receive government or public funding. Those were unveiled in the US back in February, but had yet to arrive in the EU. "Our goal here is to equip you with more information to help you better understand the sources of news content that you choose to watch on YouTube," the company said.

YouTube will highlight sources like BBC News or FranceInfo in the Top News or Breaking News shelves in more European nations, making it easier for users to find verified news. Those features are already available in the EU in UK, France, Germany and other countries, but Google plans to bring them to other nations "in the coming weeks and months."

Pigs must consume only proper content :-)

The Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Bennie Thompson, has sent letters to the CEOs of Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube asking them to brief the committee on their responses to the video on March 27th. Thompson was concerned the footage was still "widely available" on the internet giants' platforms, and that they "must do better."

The Chairman noted that the companies formally created an organization to fight online terrorism in June 2017 and touted its success in purging ISIS and al-Qaeda content.

So, they removed content of organization they created, ouch.

And do not worry, under "online terrorism" they mean... you and your needs, just told clearly and openly.

New Zealand authorities have reminded citizens that they face up to 10 years in prison for "knowingly" possessing a copy of the New Zealand mosque shooting video - and up to 14 years in prison for sharing it. Corporations (such as web hosts) face an additional $200,000 ($137,000 US) fine under the same law.

And now we clearly know why it had been staged by ruling class.

Slowly introducing prison for owning of wrong videos, already had been, but it is for anyone not just some bad guys.

Next they will be slowly shifting type of video to location where they wanted it to be - any anti capitalist and anti elite ones.

Zerohedge links were declared prohibited on facebook.

But

This was a mistake with our automation to detect spam and we worked to fix it yesterday." "We use a combination of human review and automation to enforce our policies around spam and in this case, our automation incorrectly blocked this link. As soon as we identified the issue, we worked quickly to fix it."

It was only short test :-) For now.

Facebook is considering making it harder to find anti-vaccine content in its search results and excluding organizations pushing anti-vaccine messages from groups it recommends to users after a lawmaker suggested those kinds of steps, according to a person familiar with the company's possible response.

and

"We have strict policies that govern what videos we allow ads to appear on, and videos that promote anti-vaccination content are a violation of those policies. We enforce these policies vigorously, and if we find a video that violates them, we immediately take action and remove ads," reads an emailed statement from YouTube to BuzzFeed.

and conspiracies again

A spokesman for software company Grammarly said the company also took immediate action.

"Upon learning of this, we immediately contacted YouTube to pull our ads from appearing not only on this channel but also to ensure related content that promulgates conspiracy theories is completely excluded," they said, adding "We have stringent exclusion filters in place with YouTube that we believed would exclude such channels. We’ve asked YouTube to ensure this does not happen again."

Seems to be going faster and faster.

WhatsApp is trying a number of measures to fight its fake news problem. The messaging service has revealed in a white paper that it's deleting 2 million accounts per month. And in many cases, users don't need to complain. About 95 percent of the offenders are deleted after WhatsApp spots "abnormal" activity

@Vitaliy_Kiselev Definitely - cord cutting probably will considered an extremist act of defiance. I've almost forgotten that Alex Jones exists at this point; deplatforming seems to be a successful tactic.

@robertGL

By this time cutting cord and getting life will be added to extremist activities. :-)

It's just a conspiracy theory that Sony cameras overheat. Someone's authentic LP-E6 battery is stuck in their BMPCC4K? Just another crackpot spreading lies. Those Nothrups are at it again posting made up stories with proof about losing their shots on an EOS R? Steer the viewer instead over to Mattias Burling who has had a wonderful experience with our I mean... Canon's camera.
