ALSO JOE BIDEN, THE FORMER VICE
PRESIDENT AND PRESUMPTIVE
DEMOCRATIVE NOMINEE IS SET TO
SPEAK SOON ABOUT REOPENING THE
ECONOMY.
GOOGLE IS COMING UNDER FIRE
ACCUSED OF CENSORING WEBSITING
BANNING ONE AND THREATENING
ANOTHER.
THE FEDERALIST, THAT THEY COULD
FACE THE SAME FATE.
THE INTERNET GIANT IS CLAIMING
COMMENTS ON THE SITES RELATING
TO THE BLACK LIVES MATTER
MOVEMENT VIOLATED THEIR
POLICIES.
GOOGLE TWEETING "THE FEDERALIST
WAS NEVER DE-MONETIZED.
REPUBLICANS BLASTING THEM
INCLUDING SENATOR TED CRUZ.
THANK YOU.
THIS WAS BREAKING LAST NIGHT.
NBC NEWS HAS A NEWS VERIFICATION
UNIT.
AND THEY GOT THE STORY WRONG
ACCORDING TO GOOGLE.
BUT STILL THERE ARE CONCERNS
ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH
THESE BIG TECH COMPANIES WHEN IT
COMES TO THEM HAVING SO MUCH
POWER OVER A WEBSITE SUCH AS THE
FEDERALIST.
>> WELL, THIS IS THE LATEST
ESCALATION.
GOOGLE IS A MONOPOLY.
THEY HAVE MORE INFORMATION THAN
ANY HISTORY OF MAN KIND.
GOOGLE’S MOTTO USED TO BE DON’T
BE EVIL.
THEY DELETED THAT MOTTO.
NOW THEIR MOTTO IS JUST EVIL.
NOW THIS IS -- THEY ARE -- WHAT
THEY DID HERE, THEY HAVE TAKEN A
NEW STEP.
THEY WENT AFTER A CONSERVATIVE
JOURNALISTIC OUTLET AND
JOURNALISTIC OUTLET AND
THREATENED TO DE-MONETIZE THEM.
NOT FOR ANYTHING THAT THEY SAID
BUT IN A THIRD PARTY SECTION.
SO LAST NIGHT I SENT A LETTER TO
THE CEO OF GOOGLE.
I’M THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
I SENT A LETTER DEMANDING AN
EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THEY’RE
CENSORING FREE SPEECH.
IN PARTICULAR, IF THEY ARE A
PLAYING THESE STANDARDS TO LEFT
WING SITES, THEY HAVE COMMENT
SITES AND A BUNCH OF THEM DO AND
I’M SURE THERE’S THOUSANDS OF
FOE SENSE COMMENTS THERE, NOT
ONLY THAT, DANA, BUT GOOGLE OWNS
YOUTUBE.
AND TODAY THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF
RACIST AND BIGOTED AND OFFENSIVE
COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE AND YET
GOOGLE IS NOT A PLAYING THAT
GOOGLE IS NOT A PLAYING THAT
STANDARD TO ITS OWN WHOLLY OWNED
SUBSIDIARY
SUBSIDIARY.
INSTEAD, THEY’RE SILENCING
COMPETITORS AND DANGEROUS ABOUT
FREE SPEECH.
>> Dana: SEEMS TO BE A GLARING
CONTRADICTION.
GOOGLE MAINTAINS AND 0 THEY CAN
TECH COMPANIES SAY THEY’RE NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMMENTS PUT
ON THEIR PLATFORMS AND YET THEY
POLICE COMMENTS FROM OTHER
WEBSITES.
I’LL GIVE YOU THE FINAL WORD
HERE.
>> GOOGLE TODAY HAS BECOME LIKE
THE EMPIRE IN STAR WARS.
WHAT THEY’RE DOING WITH THIS
STAFF IS TESTING THE DEATH STAR.
IF GOOGLE HAS THE ABILITY TO
DE-MONETIZE NOT JUST INDIVIDUALS
THAT THEY’RE GOING AFTER BUT NOW
MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS, THAT IS THE
POWER TO GO AFTER FOX NEWS, THE
POWER TO GOVERNMENT AFTER ANY
MEDIA ORGANIZATION THAT THEY
DISAGREE WITH AND THAT -- THEY
CANNOT ABUSE THEIR MONOPOLY
POWER TO SILENCE FREE SPEECH.
THEY NEED TO STOP THIS RIGHT
NOW.
>> Dana: I HEAR YOU.
