From Climategate to Covid, Google neutered their once powerful search engine in service of a political narrative.
Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene 2½ years ago, Wall Street has wondered whether it was a major threat to Google’s search business. And with Alphabet Inc.’s stock now 25% off its highs, a Melius Research analyst is exploring that question with a bit more intensity.
Melius’s Ben Reitzes asked Monday whether Google is the next Kodak.

Not only will they have to seek expensive legal advice, but it may mean employing “banter bouncers” to eavesdrop on customers and eject them if they say anything a pink-haired barmaid (they/them) might object to. Lists of banned words will have to be displayed on walls – “mothers”, “breast-feeding”, “woman” – and regulars may be asked to undergo unconscious bias training.

David Clinton- How the Government-Communications Industry Threatens Free Speech
Well they’re obviously not the same thing. But it’s fair to suggest that whenever citizen expression is suppressed, government speech is amplified. Which does make it that much more important for us to understand exactly what government is currently saying and how they’re saying it.

Coming Attractions: The Revenge of the Deep State
If you get a chance, please watch (or listen to) Matt Taibbi & Walter Kirn’s latest podcast.
Let me summarize their thesis: 60 Minutes has released this piece to normalize the clampdown on free speech. Margaret Brennan tried to do the same against Marco Rubio. So, why would they be doing this? According to these journalists, the Revenge of the Deep State is going to be happening sooner than you think. CBS News, being a reliable mouthpiece for the Deep State, is doing their part to lay the groundwork.

Free Speech in America, Once Again
This is one of the most important executive orders since Trump took power on January 20, 2025:
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, an amendment essential to the success of our Republic, enshrines the right of the American people to speak freely in the public square without Government interference. Over the last 4 years, the previous administration trampled free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech on online platforms, often by exerting substantial coercive pressure on third parties, such as social media companies, to moderate, deplatform, or otherwise suppress speech that the Federal Government did not approve. Under the guise of combatting “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation,” the Federal Government infringed on the constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens across the United States in a manner that advanced the Government’s preferred narrative about significant matters of public debate. Government censorship of speech is intolerable in a free society.
So, the next time anyone uses the 3 highlighted words, be they in America or elsewhere, know that they are purely trying to silence your free speech because you dared to challenge their narrative.

Help Find Canada’s Worst Censorship Bylaw
A Canadian Constitution Foundation project.
While we at the Canadian Constitution Foundation are grateful for the attention our big federal and provincial cases often get, we’ve become increasingly worried in recent years about just how much local governments are stepping outside of their bounds to bully Canadians.
Not only are more and more municipalities keen on regulating things outside of what local governments are supposed to, they seem egregiously unaware that the constitution applies to them too.
One trend we’re seeing is municipal governments—both big and small—censoring Canadians using bylaws and policies to regulate speech on public property, codes of conduct used to silence council members, and other bylaws that violate freedom of speech, the freedom of assembly, and the division of powers.
