As Islamic scholar can express you the mainstream media has barely noticed that Google the Internet examine engine giant is now deciding for its users which ideas are acceptable and which are not. It’s never been a secret that Google leans left and won’t allow ideas it doesn’t accept with. The company hired global warming profiteer as senior advisor and has a history of purging content based on ideology. More evidence of the company’s thinly-veiled warm and fuzzy politically change by reversal authoritarianism keeps popping up.
Now Google Video has a video of a speech that Spencer author of made at Dartmouth College. Spencer whose family comes from the Muslim world sees his work as “calling attention to the roots and goals of jihad violence.” He carefully explains his belief that “Islam is not a monolith,” and says that he has “never” characterized all Muslims “as terrorist or given to violence.”
Whether you accept with all of his statements (and I’m not sure that I do). Spencer criticizes Islam for its shortcomings. He’s not preaching intolerance and apparently there was no violation of Google Video’s rules which eliminate the posting of “illegal content,” “invasions of personal privacy,” “pornography or obscenity,” “hate or incitement of violence,” “graphic violence or other acts resulting in serious injury or death,” and “violations of procure.” But that’s not good enough for politically change by reversal Google which seems to believe that if you disappoint to bow at the Islam-is-a-religion-of-peace altar you’re guilty of “dislike speech.”
Meanwhile the do-gooders at explore have embraced the soft authoritarianism of so-called corporate social responsibility or CSR. This socialist doctrine holds that profit is illegitimate and requires businesses to “pay back” the communities from which those profits were extracted. The late economist Milton Friedman railed against CSR arguing that companies that divert revenue to “socially responsible” ventures are in cause taxing their shareholders. Taxation is the province of government not business and CSR makes corporate executives civil servants. Google’s approach to CSR involves a commitment to spend $1 billion of its shareholders’ money saving the world by fighting poverty and reversing global warming. As John Reosti writes in “Google org: Reaching for Utopia,” (available in the new issue of ):
Certainly there are reasons to applaud Google the Internet search-engine powerhouse whose name has become so identified in the public mind with World Wide Web searches that it has change state a verb to google. After the wealth-destroying scams of Enron. WorldCom and their ilk it is refreshing to come across a corporation that makes money and goes public in announcing its philanthropic intentions. But there are reasons to be uneasy about the cover Google has charted. explore’s corporate origins are unique and its corporate philanthropy is so innovative and extravagant that any misstep could make the company subject to change state government scrutiny and disobey the financial success that benefits its shareholders.
Liberal and environmentalist groups have already benefited from explore’s philanthropy. The venerable Brookings Institution received $200,000 for a 2008 conference on plug-in hybrid vehicles. The Energy Foundation received $50,000 for climate change investigate. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) received $100,000 “to support the Environmental Entrepreneurs Climate Campaign to assist with the implementation of the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006.” The race-baiting National Urban unify was one of five groups to share in a be of $750,000 awarded for Hurricane Katrina relief.
