The Wall Street Journal just published a shocking expose, How Google Interferes With Its Search Algorithms and Changes Your Results, , revealing not only that Google is exploiting its market power in ways the clearly raise anti-trust questions, but also that it shadow-bans sites that promote "Hate or violence" even if "Expressed in polite or even academic-sounding language"-i.e. VDARE.com and all immigration patriots.
Rectenwald lays out several terms that encapsulate his ideas-the eponymous Google Archipelago, Big Digital, Corporate Socialism, Google Marxism, etc.
The "Google Archipelago" is "The corporate leftist centralized system of Big Digital."
"Google Marxism"-originally a concept developed by George Gilder, who argued that Google assumed like Marx that the contemporary mode of production is the ultimate mode, with the only remaining issues are questions of distribution.
Rectenwald adds further that Google Marxism, "Like"socialism with Chinese characteristics," manifests as state-supported monopoly capitalism, and "actually existing socialism" for everyone else.
In Rectenwald's striking phrase, tech companies "have acted like referees of a game in which they are also players, taking sides in political contests and the culture wars.
Now imagine how such a system would work within the U.S. Imagine if every time you tried to make a purchase, use an appliance, or engage with someone, the other person or company had instant access to the information Facebook, Google, and other "Big Data" wanted them to have.
