185: Google Whistleblower Zach Vorhies
In Episode 185, we have a conversation with Zach Vorhies, who is known as the “Google Whistleblower.” Just a few months ago, Zach started to tell the world about the censorship Google has been conducting through its search engine results. He claims that Google has blacklists in their files that detail what keywords are to be promoted and what keywords are to be suppressed. He has also stated that Google has even gone as far as to delete words out of the dictionary to make political adversaries look less intelligent. And the worst thing about these revelations is that Google hasn’t stopped its censorship since Zach went public - in fact it seems like Google is just getting started.
