Before getting to that: You of course remember in 2020 the Regime wanted us all to know that the winner could not be declared election night. They needed time to figure out how many fraudulent votes to introduce into blue cities in red or swing states. So they kept telling us that the person who seemed to be winning would be the loser.

Now Google is getting that Fortification Process going again: They say they'll simply ban any statements about who won the election, including statements from Trump.

Google to block election ads, victory announcements after polls close

MXM Exclusive

Quick Hit:

Google announced it will block U.S. election-related ads after polls close on November 5, aiming to prevent the spread of misinformation about voting and election results.

Key Details:

Google will pause election ads across all its platforms once polls close on Election Day.
The policy is designed to prevent premature claims of victory before official results are confirmed.
Ads on Google Ads, YouTube, and other Google services will be impacted, but public information campaigns will still be allowed.

Diving Deeper:

Google will block all election-related advertisements across its platforms once the polls close on November 5, according to a memo obtained by Axios. The policy, originally introduced during the 2020 election, is intended to curb the spread of misinformation, particularly from candidates or groups prematurely claiming victory before official results are certified.

In a memo sent to its advertising partners, Google cited concerns about the possibility of ongoing vote counting after Election Day. This cautious approach is intended to "limit the potential for confusion" as results are finalized. Ads affected by the policy include those related to federal, state, and local elections in the U.S., as well as ballot measures and political initiatives.

Platforms impacted by the pause include Google Ads, YouTube, DV360, and Google's Ad Exchange. While election ads will be paused, public service campaigns run by government agencies responsible for election processes, such as state secretaries of state, will still be allowed.

This move follows similar efforts by other tech giants to avoid a repeat of the disinformation challenges that arose during the 2020 election. Meta, for example, will block new political and social issue ads during the final week of the U.S. election campaign, though it hasn't announced a post-election ad pause like Google.

And speaking of Meta: They're banning anyone making pro-Trump statements.

BREAKING: Second Round of Meta Engineers Reveal Censorship Practices: "Pro-Trump" Posts "Go Just Up to Another Team to Take It Down"

"Usually the disinformation we saw was pro-Trump... We'll investigate, and then it goes just up to another team to take it [the post] down," admits Matthew Fowler (@mattsfowler), a Software Engineering Manager at @Meta, during an undercover date with an O'Keefe Media Group journalist. Fowler emphasized that Meta's investigations often rely on mainstream media for verification, stating, "The news is going to do their job, and then based on what the outlets say... you have to trust that."

Of course! The media never lie!

Plamen Dzhelepov (@PlamenDzhelepov), a Machine Learning Engineer at Meta, agreed, "Meta has the right to suppress anything," acknowledging the company's political bias by noting, "they're biased if they do that against the Republicans." Dzhelepov detailed Meta's censorship capabilities, confirming they target "crazy conspiracy right-wing people," actively demoting their opinions.

Michael Zoorob (@MichaelZoorob), a Data Scientist at Meta, described the fact-checking process, stating, "the fundamental problem is that... the vast majority of what fact-checkers label as false is shared by conservatives," admitting that any policy demoting content labeled false by fact-checkers disproportionately affects conservatives.

When addressing misinformation, Dzhelepov explained Meta's approach: "it's either censored or it says a [community note] thing, where it says, 'this is disinformation, it's probably fake' under the post," adding that Meta "actually suppresses certain voices." Zoorob also recalled how Meta had downranked the Hunter Biden laptop story upon the FBI's warning, stating, "We just downranked it," making the post less visible in users' feeds."
