That'd a good question op, but we need to make sure AMDrones learn their lesson

They're a political animal.

come on dude, you expect them to put it in the autosuggestion. Kids are using google, they dont need to know about it.

I'm using Bing for porn searching anyway. So I don't really care.

uh huh

I'm wondering too, is he alive or not??

Wow what a surprise, the company in charge of 90% of the internet connected world's information sources has an obscene amount of control over what you are exposed to.

Like how in china, information about Tienanmen square is restricted, anything your google overlords want you to not find will be shuffled away.
The easiest way is that it won't be hidden, it just won't be shown. You have to dig for it.

But think about this already- if they already started, how would you know?

What does the sharia say about hate speech?

Libel and unaccountable statement != freedom of speech

porn tastes == hate speech?

I have to use DuckDuckGo to find it since I always forget the URL.

Free speech is speech free from government interference.

It has absolutely nothing to do with corporations that you willingly choose to use, and who willingly choose to engage in a relationship with you.

>a publisher choosing not to publish your book is not censorship
>a crowd shouting over the top of you is not censorship
>a newsagent refusing to sell your newspaper is not censorship
Just because Google, Facebook, and Twitter have a large share of their respective markets, doesn't mean any restriction of their services is censorship. This is essentially a business transaction, and they are free to offer the services they choose, just as you are free to fuck off and use someone else.

I'd concede the point if the use of another service was impractical, but this is the fucking Internet. They all have competitors, and typing in a different URL is not impractical or particularly onerous.

The breadth and depth of services provided by the competitors is not a legitimate argument for impracticality either, due to the fact that starting your own damn website with all the freedoms you could ever want has a ridiculously low barrier to entrance, with regards to cost anyway. The barrier of Sup Forums-related autism is significantly higher.

suck my dick shill.. it is effectively censorship, since they have the monopoly on information.

>bu- bu- typing in another url is haaaaard :(

also, lolbertarians are a joke.. a bad joke

It is censorship, but it's has nothing to do with free speech.

how would you research a topic without google you fucking piece of shit?

lets say you wanted to find information about Donald trump or Hillary Clinton scandals. Where would you start asshole?

duckduckgoose is pretty good

you do know that it just uses the google api to fetch results. If google censors something, it will be censored in duck duck go too

I'm not libertarian, I'm just not a whiny faggot.

Probably with a news site, build up a timeline of events as known contemporaneously to the public so that you can then compare their statements with what information emerged later on.

ah fuck, didnt know

DuckDuckGo?
Bing?
Yandex?
Ixquick?
Baidu?

Facebook and Twitter aren't censoring free speech you moron, they're censoring hate speech!

This. There's absolutely nothing wrong with censoring views that are hurtful. It's 2016 and being a bigot is not acceptable.

Why doesn't Sup Forums just create it's own censorship-free search engine then?

I'm pretty sure they censor free speech too, since their definition of hate speech gets broader every fucking day.

The Radeon Pro Duo is the most powerful card.

DELETE THIS!

How come I get uncensored results with Duck and not Google?

Because Sup Forums - Video Games is only for bitching about SJW's and Windows shilling.

>>free speech is speech free from government interference
>using 18th century definitions today

Sure, bud. You know, social sciences have this thing natural sciences don't. That is, the object of study changes very fast and not in s cyclical way. The changes are pretty much unpredictable.

Because they don't really care, deep down inside. They just like that false sense of superiority knowing that they have their "secret knowledge" about their spoopy conspiracy theories, thus elevating themselves above mere normies.

They don't even care that they're subject to it, the arrogance gained from the process is enough of a reward.

Free speech is a philosophical concept that predates the constitution you dipshit.

Also remember that Musk heavily implied last night that Google is one of the biggest threats to humanity.

You're assuming I'm American and using a strictly American definition of free speech, you dipshit.

Startpage or searx.me

its [current year]. are you fucking Canadian? if yes, go fuck yourself.

so, now being a conservative is considered hate speech in facebook. Better just put pro democrat news on the news feed.

Startpage is just google though. Use Ixquick if you want Startpage without Google.

Except all the barriers for speech between private individuals and entities have all but been eliminated, whereas many of the things we can easily do from our home for very little expense today was genuinely difficult and expensive in the 18th Century.

So by your logic, the concept of freedom of speech should really apply even less to private entities today than yesteryear, not more.

google are a private company and have full dominion over the stuff that appears on their websites. although if they piss off too much of their userbase their investors would probably complain

trouble with free speech is that it doesn't mean you're allowed to say anything anwhere, it means the government won't step in and stop you (with some notable exceptions: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exceptions)

on the internet, you're definitely using infrastructure constructed by a private company. depending on how you go about things, you may also be renting hardware and bandwidth from another company, or just flat out using someone else's website. all of those people have the right to refuse you service.

>m-muh first amendment

>uses first amendment definition of free speech rather than philosophical one
>proceeds to pretend that he didn't
Only one of us is a dipshit American, and it isn't me.

>Baidu

Who cares about conservatives? This is Sup Forums, fuck off back to Sup Forums you reactionary scum!

>Nvidia drones must spread to other threads because they're being BTFO by the new AMD cards

>Sup Forums
>creating anything
top queqe, as they say

yeah, I forgot, communist dont give a fuck about the first amendment. Its the thing stopping them from gaining power.

The first amendment definition of free speech was taken from common law, meaning the definition predates the amendment.

You could've also simply looked at my spelling to see whether I was using British/Commonwealth spelling, but seems you're too fat and lazy for that. A trait not uncommonly associated wiiiiiiiith...?

...

>I'm going to talk about my politics
>Fuck off with your politics to the political board

Everytime.

Winrar.

The film industry self-censored because they didn't want the government to.

If Google censors a result, that's fine, but if Google censors something at a state's (like China) behest, then we start seeing issues.

so, if google doesnt like nationalism and wants open borders (like facebook), and lowers the pagerank of conservative/national sites, its fine??

>Kids are using google, they dont need to know about it.
yes they do

this is 100% true, except in cases where they choose to omit or remove information/speech because of pressure from the government

liek Twitter and Facebook rolling over for the EU. Those corporations are willingly assisting in government mandated censorship, so thus it is censorship

Hate speech is not free speech.

nice meme kiddo

being a republica and conservative is hate speech? being against men using female toilets is hatespeech?

got fuck yourself communist. you wouldnt be talking like that if you lived in NK.

He never said if it's it's fine or not. He just said that it's not necessarily against free speech. Since Google is not a nation with a government but a corporation.

But if what said is correct. And the censored it on account of pressure from the EU, then it would be against free speech.

>have "Don't be evil" as motto
>be evil anyway

>The first amendment definition of free speech was taken from common law, meaning the definition predates the amendment.
Pretty sure I just said that in response to your asinine assertion that free speech was only something that government could infringe upon.

I hate you

subconscious cant process negations. It basically reads it as "be evil".


proof: Dont think about faggots having sex right now!

>free speech was only something that government could infringe upon.
that's true though, unless somehow you are being silenced or oppressed through violence due to speech

No, you didn't. Do you even know what I'm referring to when I said common law?

Anyway, see:

>that's true though
No it isn't.
>unless somehow you are being silenced or oppressed through violence due to speech
Somehow? Government isn't the only agent of violence in the world, and the threat of violence is just as stifling as the action of it.

>choosing mottos that are easy to achieve, not mottos that are ideals to strive towards
That'd be as silly as the KKK choosing the motto "don't be black"

Although in recent years...

>have a motto that is really easy to achieve
>still fail completely

Oh google.

Last I checked, Google don't have eastern Congolese militias on their payroll.

because 8ch has cp that goes unchecked, and google makes sure to censor illegal shit like that

So then why is Sup Forums not censored?

I have a funny feeling I need to screenshot this

we might be talking about two different thing: free speech as an ethical necessity and free speech protected by the first amendment

the first amdenment literally and objectively only protects you from the state. any business, any corporation, can choose not to aid or abet your speech without breaking the law

google can censor searches, facebook can delete posts, and twitter can bury hashtags. you don't have a right to their service and they cannot be forced to publish speech that they don't like

however, if the government asks them or persuades them to delete speech that the government doesn't like, that's a huge fucking problem. and now that the government owns the internet at a service like water and electricity, the internet as a whole cannot be censored by ISPs, making it very difficult for any corporation to seriously bury information that they don't want to be seen

Whoa slow down kid, you're memeing too hard!

They've been merged. One and the same, Google results included.

>this result has been omitted, find out why on ChillingEffects.org

Google officially abandoned the motto around the time Alphabet was incorporated and became its parent company.

Really? That's a shame.

>being baited this hard
I guess we know what board really has the lowest iq

I knew it was bait, but I still had to respond because some people reading it in here might believe your bullshit.

After all, you are communists and bernie supporters, how smart can you be??

You just responded to someone who is new to this thread, you dumbarse.

great twitter feed I got there, based leftist twitter. thank you, please send me more Hillary and Don Lemon news.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. Do I agree with that philosophy? No, but they are a private entity and should have the chance to push anything they want. If it's impeded for them, it's impeded for the rest of us. As I was trying to convey, and as the other user said, as long as there's no state pressure, it's fine.

wasn't me who posted that but it was obviously bait
lots of people on Sup Forums lack as much critical thinking ability as commies, they just happened to get influenced by Sup Forums instead of their teachers or the media

Censoring doesn't mean not enabling you to cry about shit, it means throwing you in jail or otherwise punishing you if you do. Neither of them do. Just come here if you want to talk about shit that isn't tolerated on normie sites.
