Google Blacklists Free Speech Platform Gab’s Latest App

[Swordsmyth]

Tech giant Google has blacklisted the free-speech focused social media app Gab from the Google Play Store, joining Apple in banning Gab users from accessing the platform using Gab-branded smartphone apps. Silicon Valley tech giant Google has reportedly banned the free-speech focused social media platform Gab from the Google Play Store. According to a screenshot posted by Gab to Twitter, Google banned the app from the store for “Violation of User Generated Content (UGC) Policy.” Essentially, it appears that Gabs refusal to censor users’ content is what resulted in the app being removed from the store.
The tweet posted by Gab can be seen below, along with a number of links to similar apps that are still active in the Play Store and work with Gab’s servers. Because Gab shifted its platform to a decentralized and open-source architecture, it can be accessed by other apps still available on both Android and Apple smartphones, some with nearly identical code to the blacklisted Gab app.

Google just banned the Gab app.

Not a surprise really. Google is becoming a joke along with its broken search engine.

Not a surprise really. Google is becoming a joke along with its broken search engine.

Something unexpected has happened. So many words and phrases have been run through the search algorithms that all words/phrase patterns are becoming identical in machine learning weight.

The more Google gets used, and the more information it absorbs, the more diluted it's search engine will become.

If you want more precise searches now, you use the less used engines.... ...although they are still quite poor, there are not as many disambiguation possibilities.

More to come.

On google images i tried to search for that British guy with the EU flag and you know what the search algorithms came back with? Guy Verhofstadt which i found rather ironic and comical.

Google's own search algorithms is broken and always comes up with the wrong results. And sometimes some hilarious ones.
