Are Tech Companies Promoting A Political Point Of View?
Well after watching this video below, it seems Alexa from Amazon has a very left leaning political opinion regarding some topics. We have also been hearing a lot about how, Youtube has been censoring content creators who's political or religious opinions differ from that of the prescribed left. The videos are not being deleted, they just don't appear in the search list, pretty much just hidden for anyone who is not subscribed. These tactics are a very disturbing form of propaganda to push a one sided political narrative.
"If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly. Thomas Sowell
When companies like Google, Youtube, Facebook and Twitter have total dominance over the flow information, and then start filtering that information as they deem necessary. We should all start to worrying just a little, what long term effects would this have on the current generation? What happens when you force an opinion about certain religious figures the masses? Do they become indoctrinated to that belief, or do that masses stop using those companies and op for better platforms? So if you are reading this, you've already made that move and are here on Steemit. Good on you!
