Looks like google's shadow banning algorithm against conservatives is working. Blame it on them for saying bad things about BLM and good things about the first and second amendments. Its just another example of what Trump is doing to us...it's HIS FAULT!

(sarcasm ended)...

PS I don't use google anymore. When I am looking for center to right opinion I find bing does a much better job, for obvious reasons.
 
Looks like Yahoo is joining the block free speech movement. Enjoy it while you can.

Any idea why? I happen to know I am not the only one. Same goes for another political website I frequent.

Is hacking of Google a possibility?

Maybe they (Google) thinks it's a conservative web site? Some black list thing? Just a guess ;) :peace

More likely it is a technical problem over at Google. But then again, even though I find the boards very interesting, it's sure true that all this social media discussion of politics and current events is fueling division and hysteria that has become truly concerning. Is Google trying to save the country?

"technical problem"? You mean a conservative viewpoint? :doh
Big tech would not do that? :confused:

WOW...I just used it. What a difference. Thanks for the tip.
 
Worked fine for me.
 
heh heh ... get a load of this site ... DebatePolitics Reviews - 13 Reviews of Debatepolitics.com | Sitejabber ... it allegedly rates discussion websites.

The very first review starts with ...

"Truly a dangerous website, if you choose to go there be prepared to have your psyche deeply disturbed. Most of the members are right-wing extremeists though they often identify themselves as "Libertarian", "Independent" or "Conservative". I know a large number of Conservatives, not a single one of them would ever stoop as low as the forum members at debate politics when having a conversation about the current politcal environment. ..."

And it gets worse.
It describes an alternate universe.
Maybe Google used it to shadow ban DP.
I wonder how Google's ratings would be.

Saw that.
Initially one might think it's strange how a review of the same thing can generate such different reactions.
But actually it's not that strange given it pretty much represents the current state of the Country.

The partisan left thinks the mods are all right wing and the partisan right thinks the mods are all left wing. The "negative attention" doesn't bother me. I'm the longest tenured mod and I've issued more infractions for violating the rules than any other current mod. I can guarantee that those comments were made by partisan nitwits who can't grasp the rules.

Partisan nitwits, for sure.
But whether a problem with a grasp of rules or an attitude about the rules, it depends on the nitwit.
It can look the same so it's sometimes hard to tell.

Technical problem = “Crap. We got caught”!

How could Google with all of it’s market power stay neutral? After all, their motto is “do no evil”. It is not clear in their company statements as to where the evil category starts and where it ends when you are the information manager of the world.

What does a place like DP do? Send Google an email asking for a hall pass?

I use BING. And maybe I’ll try DuckDuckMaybe.
 
First return for me

When I did a Google search for "Debate Politics" it was the first entry I got.

With so many online due to C19, is the net being overloaded at times, areas and such?
 
Moderator's Warning:
This was a brief one day issue. Google flipped a switch to block conservative links and DP got caught up in this. It's not an issue presently.
