Tucker: Google tries to censor content it disagrees with

[ThinkingSapien]

Google, like Facebook, is at its core an advertising company . Their search engine, their email service, their cloud applications, YouTube, all exist to drive ad revenue to Google.

It is worth pointing out that now there is mounting pressure against Facebook to take a stronger stance on hate speech. Some advertisers are withdrawing their ads and boycotting Facebook’s ad network until something is done.

Facebook faces advertiser revolt over failure to address hate speech

The North Face, REI and other brands pause advertising on the platform in ‘Stop Hate for Profit’ campaign

I know some might thing “That’s fine, I don’t use Facebook.” It isn’t necessary to have a Facebook account or visit their site to send revenue their way. Since Facebook, like Google, has an Ad Network there are many web sites, phone applications, and other services that have Facebook services embedded within them.

Any company that has as a main source of revenue what it receives from selling advertising space will be responsive to those customers. Unless you are paying cash to Google, you are not that important.

Same with FaceBook, DuckDuckGo, YouTube, etc
