 * No Google Isn't Trying To Censor The Web - Kalev Leetaru, Forbes, October 10, 2018
 * ''The “leaked” presentation was quickly framed by some as a roadmap to censorship and that it demonstrated the company was examining how to suppress certain viewpoints or crack down on internet freedoms. Yet, a closer read of the presentation would suggest precisely the opposite: a company at the center of many of our debates about the future of the online world grappling with the existential question of the modern web: how to absolutely preserve freedom of speech, while at the same time preventing terrorists, criminals, repressive governments and trolls from turning this incredible force for good into a toxic and dangerous place that undermines democracy, advances terrorism, assists fraudsters and empowers hatred? How do we elevate the voices of the disenfranchised and give them a place at the table of global discourse, while not also awakening the trolls that seek to repress them? How do we empower the free expression of ideas and bring an incredibly diverse and divided world together, while embracing the differences that make us who we are? How do we reach across countries and cultures, across languages and landscapes, to have meaningful conversations about the future of our shared planet? Most importantly, how can technology play a positive role in helping facilitate the good, empowering civil discourse, while discouraging the bad, from terrorist recruiting to fraud to toxic speech and trolling?

Wikipedia
Wikipedia has a list of reliable and unreliable sources. "Reliable" are those sources that are under the direct control of the US regime. Any degree of independence from the regime makes the source "unreliable." This is the diametric opposite of how Wikispooks defines reliability. Reliability of sources is directly proportional to their distance from power. At ACLOS we only trust primary sources.
