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

Guess Ill have to search

Nah not on purpose

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

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

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

they formed alphabet in like 2015

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

Thats the issue with algorithms in general

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

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

not politically motivated BS

Or firing their smarter members.

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.

They didnt read the fucking paper

No, like I said it wasnt intentional

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(company)

They were targeting people with shady shit.

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

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

And they hit journalists that had the material

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

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

semi secret?

i mean, you could find info on it

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

i miss THAT google

Same. Back when SV was unflinchingly libertarian.

Progressivism poisons everything

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

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

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

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

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

All i got are claims by a few journalists

So I got nothing as of now

darn. remember anything about them?

Or what they said was deleted?

All I know are some journos researching something, algorithm mistakes it for questionable content.

"the best person for power is the one who least wants it", which means its up to the people who need someone in that position to force their hand.

@GingaBomber
I did find this, but it's porn which is less damning in the public sphere

If you ever remember anything more specific, please let me know. This is actually kinda serious if true and I'd like to try and track down some of these tweets.
