The "Shadow ban" is one of the most insidious things I can imagine. Google tweaks an algorithm just slightly and millions of people end up getting just one side of the story.

How to Big Brother:

https://www.prisonplanet.com/uk-poli...te-crimes.html

A police force in the UK has been on the receiving end of derision after authorities encouraged citizens to report “offensive comments” that don’t even rise to the level of hate crimes.

“In addition to reporting hate crime, please report non-crime hate incidents, which can include things like offensive or insulting comments, online, in person or in writing. Hate will not be tolerated in South Yorkshire. Report it and put a stop to it,” states the tweet from South Yorkshire Police.

but don't worry, the investigation--which used falsified information in order to come to fruition (from trusty Russian sources mind you)--will investigate itself and quickly disband.

Trump FBI confirms Obama birth certificate really is a fake!
Trump FBI confirms that Obama claimed foreign citizenship for his Columbia scholarship
Trump FBI confirms kick-back from Russian Oligarch to Hillary Clinton for sale of U.S. Uranium
Trump FBI confirms Hillary told armed forces to stand down during Benghazi raid

Now I suppose Trump could make something up--or pay a 'respected' international spy to drop this information. You'd be OK with that?

Or even pay a unrespected **** star(s) to just shut up. You'd be OK with that? I guess how much is paid and by whom is really the issue right? I wonder how much the slur campaigns against John Kerry cost?

Wait till it comes out, the guy Mueller reports to, signed off on several of the fisa warrants. Again nbd. No conflict of interest there. Trump says mean things.

Am I wrong in this?

Caricature's exaggerate their subject's most notable features whilst still leaving them recognisable.

So what's everyone getting so upset about in this Serena Williams "Dummy Spit" caricature?

FYI: The winner, Japan's Naomi Osaka, DOES have a blonde pony tail.

PC gone mad IMO!

Serena is probably the greatest female tennis player ever but when you act like a **** on the world stage, you deserve a "serve" like this - surely that's what equality is all about? (vs not commenting on it because she's a minority that gets discriminated against).

Completely ruined it for the winner girl; even though she was clearly better, her win is tarnished.

i will conceed there is history with this ref specially. And with other refs being very strict on women players and not giving the same penalties to men.

For example, men rip off their shirts and play topless when they are hot, women have been penalized for not wearing shorts and adjusting shirts on the sidelines. Men also never get a penalty for smashing a racket, yet women do.

Regardless, she was being a baby.

Also the coaching rule is silly and dumb.

Sen Anus King compared "Russian hackers" and/or "Russian election meddlers" to the 9/11 terrorists:


“They used airplanes into towers. Now people can use the click of a computer key in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to attack,” King said.

“It’s the same kind of attack today that occurred in 2001.”

liberals actually believe this ****: https://www.rollcall.com/news/opinio...k-never-forget

meanwhile, Google--a $10mill donor to the Clinton Foundation--actively altered their search engine algorithms to help Hilary get elected.

Is that sort of pay/meddle-to-play not the same, if not worse?
