Google hiring 10,000 reviewers to censor YouTube content

From WSWS:





Google is escalating its campaign of internet censorship, announcing that it will expand its workforce of human censors to over 10,000. The censors’ primary focus will be videos and other content on YouTube, its video-sharing platform, but will work across Google to censor content and train its automated systems, which remove videos at a rate four times faster than its human employees

The hiring drive by Google is yet another advance in the campaign against any expression of political opposition.

Enough with the Russian collusion already. None of these tales are credible (Margaret Kimberley)

    Was the starving or ill? I’m no climate change denier, I just want to know what I saw. If the bear starved that means there are no seals on Baffin Island. Is that true? I’m curious about the whole ecosystem. Was there a necropsy or was the body left there? I’m curious.

    That’s because Watergate was an actual scandal. Russiagate is a sham narrative manufactured by Clintonites seeking to excuse their failures, national security hardliners desperate for an arms buildup, and vacuous corporate media hacks looking for ratings and clicks.
    Max Blumenthal added,
    I remember Watergate pretty well, and I don't remember anything like this level of journalistic carelessness back then. The constant stream of 'bombshells' that turn into duds is doing much more to damage the media than anything Trump could manage.

    One-third of all people killed by strangers in America are killed by police. 97% of the officers are not charged with a crime, 99% are not convicted. Even in the most egregious cases the system refuses to hold police accountable:

    American police kill 3 people every day. There were 2 more victims the day was killed. White people are collateral damage. Bringing his killer to justice might mean that black people would not be kept under control. So cop went free.

    The world knows Israel is U.S. client state. But Trump rubbed it in everyone’s face. The whole world is offended.

    The most we can expect from the electoral process is keeping hard core crackers out of office. Any other victories are negligible.
