Also an undercover investigation by it's very nature requires some deception so I don't have a problem with that, especially if it uncovers something that is illegal.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

Well. Shocking… but not shocking at all.
Project Veritas and founder James O’Keefe have scored a scoop from an identified Google whistleblower, replete with video and inside documents. Here’s the Project Veritas headline and story:
Insider Blows Whistle & Exec Reveals Google Plan to Prevent “Trump situation” in 2020 on Hidden Cam
The story begins this way:
(New York City) — Project Veritas has released a new report on Google which includes undercover video of a Senior Google Executive, leaked documents, and testimony from a Google insider. The report appears to show Google’s plans to affect the outcome of the 2020 elections and “prevent” the next “Trump situation.”
The report includes undercover footage of longtime Google employee and Head of Responsible Innovation, Jen Gennai, saying:
“Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google. And like, I love her but she’s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation, it’s like a small company cannot do that.”
Said Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe:
“This is the third tech insider who has bravely stepped forward to expose the secrets of Silicon Valley. These new documents, supported by undercover video, raise questions of Google’s neutrality and the role they see themselves fulfilling in the 2020 elections.”
Jen Gennai is the head of “Responsible Innovation” for Google, a sector that monitors and evaluates the responsible implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. In the video, Gennai says Google has been working diligently to “prevent” the results of the 2016 election from repeating in 2020:
“We all got screwed over in 2016, again it wasn’t just us, it was, the people got screwed over, the news media got screwed over, like, everybody got screwed over so we’re rapidly been like, what happened there and how do we prevent it from happening again.
“We’re also training our algorithms, like, if 2016 happened again, would we have, would the outcome be different?”
So with all those investigations into interference by Russians in the 2016 election — will there be a congressional investigation into Google? In fact, Google executive Gennai already has an answer on what happens when Congress requests Google execs to show up for a hearing:.....
JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Jim
This includes using algorithms to decrease the visibility of conservatives on Facebook (i.e. make sure they don't show up as often in news feeds). Things like Jack Dorsey of Twitter saying he thinks it was wrong the Brexiteers were able to get their message out on Twitter. It includes demonetising/removing youtube videos that are critical of the left (or even videos from folk on the left who interviewed people on the right who Google don't like).
And yes, it includes things like Give-A-Little shutting down Israel Falou's fundraiser for his upcoming legal fight with Rugby Australia, he got fired for posting a paraphrase of Paul saying that "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters" (i.e. everyone) would go to hell without Jesus. (the Left focused on the second item in his list and labelled it hate speech)Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

I am pretty sure interfering with an election is a no-no.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI can't fault KG here.

So most people only heard about the baseless accusation presented as stone cold fact and are unaware that it was a deliberate falsehood. Which, I hate to say, is exactly what the MSM wants.
