Problem with yandex.com: now the majority of my results are coming back in Russian.

How do you tell it: "English only, please"?

I don't think you can. Typically I get MOST of my results in English, but some in Russian. I mostly use the search engine for technical information.

Google Censorship Kicks Into High Gear
YouTube will demonetize videos that question man-made climate change and is also banning anti-vaccine content creators.

It’s no secret that Big Tech is especially committed to promoting leftist ideology. This reality has been borne out in its various efforts to silence, censor, and ban alternative voices, including those of many conservatives, all under the guise of preventing the spread of “misinformation.”

Advocating for and seeking to protect Americans’ free speech rights is clearly not a priority for the likes of Google, which recently announced its decision to demonetize YouTube videos posted by people it classifies as “climate deniers.” Google explained that this would “include content referring to climate change as a hoax or a scam, claims denying that long-term trends show the global climate is warming, and claims denying that greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change.”

Wrestling with such questions is called scientific inquiry and political debate. Google calls it “misinformation.”

The right answer to speech you don't like is more speech and not censorship.

Google continues to work with the authorities

I thought Google was the authorities?

They are definitely not completely separate, as they share your personal info with the NSA and other government agencies.

But it doesn't work without the Google reCapcha spyware!

I do not want my every action on government sites reported to Google. Can someone think of a law this violates? I want to start preparing a lawsuit.

The Google spyware is pervasive on government and medical sites. This is just wrong.

https://hwfo.substack.com/p/memespace-egregores-and-google-maps

I’m a civil engineer. Part of my job is literally making maps. And not even I use a road atlas anymore. My phone does it for me. When I moved in October of last year, I used my phone to navigate everywhere, and one curious thing I discovered was I didn’t know any of the street names around my new home for months. It’s been over a year, and I still probably only know four or five street names. I can’t even speak intelligently with my neighbors about where stores and such are because I still haven’t learned the names of the streets. Google has completely dried up that portion of my brain that used to be dedicated to automobile navigation. I have outsourced a portion of my very thought processes themselves to my phone. Let’s say that sentence again to be very clear.

I have outsourced a portion of my very thought processes themselves to my phone.

It would be the height of arrogance to think that this region of my mental capacity, road navigation, was the only portion of my thought processes affected by the smartphone. And it would be even more ignorant to presume that some people in the country haven’t outsourced even more of their thought processes to their phones than I have.

Not just maps, but nobody remembers phone numbers anymore.

I have a mission to make it worse.

I intend to make your contact to be between 70 and 200 digits long. Why? Well, when this happens, good luck having a robocaller spam you. They'll have to dial a million numbers before they reach a real number. Each attempt to make contact will take 1 second, but they can parallelize it, but that can be detected as well.

But then you're thinking "how will I share my phone number???" - what? A QR code doesn't work?

There are advances and detriments in technology. Our job is to give you the advances. You may resent what little you've lost, but any problem can be solved. I've only given you 1/2 the solution. Cryptography is very interesting. I can see its horrible abuses, but also, the tremendous benefits.

In 30 years, people are going to be like "you used to use a 9 digit code to contact you???" We still have some tricks up our sleeve. You'll both have privacy and unlimited communication - assuming you're not dead then. Your grandchildren will have it.

https://babylonbee.com/news/new-google-technology-autocorrects-users-thoughts

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—At a special press conference held at the technology giant’s sprawling campus Tuesday, Google engineers revealed exciting new technology that autocorrects any errant thoughts its users are having, replacing them with positions approved by the company.

Utilizing advanced retinal scan and proprietary telepathic scanning technology, the new automatic thought correction algorithm is now live for users of Google’s search engine, Android operating system, Chrome OS, and the hundreds of other apps and services the company provides.

“Let’s say you start thinking there may be some kind of inherent biological difference between men and women,” Google employee Ryan Vo said in a live demo of the new tech. “Immediately, the thought suggestion program in any nearby Google device, app, or service will scrub the idea of inherent gender differences and replace them with the sure knowledge that there are at least three hundred different genders in existence, and always has been.”

“Google will begin rebuilding your mind, piece by piece,” he added to the cheers and applause of the tech bloggers and industry professionals gathered.

According to the spokesperson, Google is also utilizing crack teams of ex-military personnel to round up anyone who resists the new technology, taking them to a new portion of Google’s campus known as the “Department of Love” for questioning, reconditioning, and re-introduction into civilized society.

At publishing time, a jealous Mark Zuckerberg had put his best programmers on the job of attempting to reverse-engineer Google’s new thought correction algorithm for use on his own social network, sources confirmed.

Finding and killing all dissidents in America. It's easy with Google!

I was trying to set up payments on Substack as a way to get paid for publishing my memes. But guess what? I can't do it unless Stripe gives Google/NSA my address and my location at all times (via my phone) so that I can more easily be hunted down and killed for opposing the corporate media narrative.

Stripe does give me the alternative to install Google/NSA software (Authenticator) so that their spyware is right on my laptop, but, uh, no thanks.

Google is so useful for finding and killing dissidents! Just consider what Google/NSA has on most people:

- Almost every web page you have surfed, either directly by Chrome reporting it, or indirectly via "free" embedded services which web developers use to lower their costs while betraying your privacy

- If you use GMail, they know everyone you email and everything you said to them

- If you have an Android phone, they know everyone you call (OK, they could get this anyway from the cellular companies) and your location at all times, even when you think location services is off. Lol, you even tell Google exactly where you go when you use Google maps.

- They can turn on your phone's microphone and camera at any time. Peekaboo!

- And of course if you use Google, they know all your interests from the searches you do!

Have you looked at Gab's new payment system?

I didn't know about this:

Still, most sites use Stripe and other mainstream corporate sites which are very quick to cancel you for speaking out against American corruption.

Probably, but it's not their primary business.

Google's business is to spy on you.

https://patriotpost.us/articles/91790-googles-hypocritical-data-collection-ban-2022-10-04

Google is in the business of collecting every scrap of data possible. As with many other Big Tech companies — perhaps far more so than most — you are the product. That’s why it’s almost unbelievably hypocritical for the company to have just axed a couple of apps from its Android Play Store for the sin of collecting data about users. ...

Even Google’s efforts to convey altruistic concern for user privacy are infused with ulterior motives. Moreover, as Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson alleged in February, “Google kept tracking individuals’ location data even after consumers told the corporation to stop.” He added, “This is not only dishonest, it’s unlawful.”

Frankly, the app banning is just the latest in a long line of anti-Christian, anti-conservative, anti-privacy, anti-free speech behavior from the world’s biggest search engine. Google censored pro-life ads. Google’s Gmail spam filter is arguably biased against conservatives. It’s search results definitely are. Google secretly accessed Americans’ health data. Google cavorts with the ChiComs to suppress free speech and bows to Beijing regarding pandemic truth.

Republicans lodge complaint with FEC over Google's alleged suppression of political emails

The RNC alleges that Google, which operates the free email service, Gmail, automatically filtered around 22 million emails sent by the political party in the last three days of September.

Google burns few hours of profit to disappear location privacy lawsuit

Google will pay $85 million to settle a privacy lawsuit that accused the internet behemoth of deceiving netizens regarding its harvesting of people's location data and using this personal info to rake in billions of dollars in advertising revenue. ...

At the heart of the allegations: that Google uses "dark patterns" in its user interfaces – deceptive controls and layout of settings – to fool people into providing their real-time whereabouts to the mega-corp for targeted advertising purposes.

The attorneys general contend that because this data is critical to Google's advertising business, the company has a financial incentive to discourage users from withholding access to their location data. Ergo, Google deliberately engineers its software so that people don't realize they are handing over details of where they've physically been and when, or don't realize how much they are sharing, or so it was claimed. ...

Not that Google's parent company Alphabet will be seriously inconvenienced by the settlement. The $85 million price tag constitutes less than 12 hours of its $16 billion quarterly profit, judging from its latest financial results [PDF]. As Twitter whistleblower Mudge pointed out to Congress last month, such settlements are just seen as a cost of doing business in America.

No it's not "anti-Christian, anti-conservative, anti-privacy"

It's pro government, period. Christianity, conservatism and privacy are just in the way of that. They are NOT targeting conservatives or Christians, they target anybody that won't tow the government line. They attack medical professionals, anti-war advocates, ACTUAL journalists (not the bullshit propagandists you see on the propaganda tube), anybody that won't pull the government line.

Consider how much propaganda we are bombarded with. How do you complete this phrase?

It's safe and .... ?

You probably said "effective". It this was 2020, you would have said " It's safe and sound". They obliterated a phrase from our language.

Here’s a personal account of how digital ID / central bank digital currencies / social credit systems operate in China.

Central banks and governments are nudging us towards this. We cannot let this happen. Wake up before it’s too late.

cisTits says

Then don't have a WeChat account, duh!

You don't understand how technology works.

Have a credit card?

I don't. "How can you live without it???" you may ask - very easily.

Do have a business credit card though, that I'm forced to use.

You've been walked into this bullshit your ENTIRE life. Your money is just paper, it used to be convertible to gold, 100 years ago.

You didn't watch the video.

Yes I did.

Just like it's an option to use a credit card, it's an option to use Apple Pay or WeChat. There's a scramble to become the monopoly is all.

People ARE cattle. You can warn about this all you want, you're just written off as a nutcase. I knew, for example, that Facebook was an intelligence gathering system 10 years ago, who listened to me? Twitter has ALWAYS been propaganda, I knew that from the start, who listened to me? These companies are in my area, and my area of expertise, we engineers talk. Nobody believes us, and in fact we get insulted when we blow the whistle, it's hard not to feel contempt for the general public after a point.
