For questionable content

2018-08-01 18:19:25 UTC  

Some journalists had their research deleted

2018-08-01 18:28:33 UTC  

That bad?! Is there a source?

2018-08-01 18:28:59 UTC  

thats months ago

2018-08-01 18:29:03 UTC  

I had a belief Google was doing shady \*\*\*\* but I wouldn't expect them to be wiping journalists.

2018-08-01 18:29:05 UTC  

Guess Ill have to search

2018-08-01 18:29:08 UTC  

Nah not on purpose

2018-08-01 18:29:21 UTC  

wait, months ago? oh yeah, of course they do bs shit now

2018-08-01 18:29:23 UTC  

They had some keywords to search for, so shit that sounds shady

2018-08-01 18:29:40 UTC  

Problem is, just cause you have that material does not make you a supporter of it.

2018-08-01 18:29:46 UTC  

they formed alphabet in like 2015

2018-08-01 18:29:59 UTC  

The innocent ones that were affected were journalists investigating shady shit.

2018-08-01 18:30:12 UTC  

Thats the issue with algorithms in general

2018-08-01 18:30:23 UTC  

so starting probably the year before, google was going down hill in the shady af department.

2018-08-01 18:30:48 UTC  

i miss when they were doing cool shit, like encourage missions to the moon and researching crazy shit like teleportation

2018-08-01 18:30:54 UTC  

not politically motivated BS

2018-08-01 18:31:14 UTC  

Or firing their smarter members.

2018-08-01 18:31:18 UTC  

I'd really like a source on these deleted drives.

It proves not only is Google engaging in censorship but that it might not be a trustworthy repository. It also proves they can and do scan the contents of files on their cloud.

2018-08-01 18:31:19 UTC  

They didnt read the fucking paper

2018-08-01 18:31:30 UTC  

No, like I said it wasnt intentional

2018-08-01 18:31:41 UTC  

They were targeting people with shady shit.

2018-08-01 18:31:46 UTC  

That last one, if that gets sufficiently public could **kill** Google's commerce.

2018-08-01 18:31:49 UTC  

2010, they started doing cool shit, 2015, they started doing political shit

2018-08-01 18:31:49 UTC  

And they hit journalists that had the material

2018-08-01 18:31:58 UTC  

Businesses do **not** like other companies scanning their stuff.

2018-08-01 18:32:13 UTC  

I know of businesses that refuse to upgrade to Windows 10 because of new MS telemetry.

2018-08-01 18:32:16 UTC  

semi secret?

2018-08-01 18:32:52 UTC  

i mean, you could find info on it

2018-08-01 18:33:25 UTC  

i mean, one of the head guys was called "director of moon-shots" at one point

2018-08-01 18:33:30 UTC  

i miss THAT google

2018-08-01 18:33:46 UTC  

Same. Back when SV was unflinchingly libertarian.

2018-08-01 18:33:50 UTC  

Progressivism poisons everything

2018-08-01 18:34:10 UTC  

Libertarians are the ones we *want* in charge of everything. But they will never actually get in charge and hold it.

2018-08-01 18:34:32 UTC  

It's the classic "the best person for power is the one who least wants it" argument.

2018-08-01 18:34:55 UTC  

Needs to be the "physically remove" kind of libertarianism.

2018-08-01 18:35:07 UTC  

Anyways, does anyone have a reference on the Google's deletion of Google Drive contents or journalists?

2018-08-01 18:39:15 UTC  

It was a colelction of a few tweets I saw a few months, or a year ago

2018-08-01 18:39:28 UTC  

All i got are claims by a few journalists

2018-08-01 18:39:33 UTC  

So I got nothing as of now

2018-08-01 18:39:43 UTC  

darn. remember anything about them?
