Tell Google: Hate speech does not belong on Google Podcasts. Take immediate action to remove podcasts hosted by conspiracy theorists, white supremacists and Nazis. | Pamela, Google owns YouTube, a video streaming service whose algorithm promotes conspiracy theories and white supremacist content.1 Now, from within Google, YouTube has a new rival in the creation of nazi-themed white-supremacist content: Google Podcasts. A new report from the New York Times found that Google Podcasts are the exclusive home of more than two dozen podcasts from white supremacists and pro-Nazi groups.2 ADD YOUR NAME: Tell Google to remove podcasts hosted by conspiracy theorists, white supremacists and Nazis! Google has a responsibility to parents, kids and the rest of society to ensure that conspiracy theorists, Nazis and white supremacists aren't using Google podcasts to disseminate hate speech and lies. We saw on January 6th how dangerous unchecked indulgence in white supremacist conspiracy theories can become. If the New York Times can find this content, a company with the resources that Google has should be able to too. Tell Google: When you give hate a platform, it hurts people in real life! Thanks, Mike Phelan Progress America 1 https://datasociety.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/DS_Alternative_Influence.pdf 2 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/25/arts/google-podcasts-extremism.html |
