The data dump contains internal memos and emails describing how Google channels content to users – and how “challenging” it can be when the content “does not represent the views” of Google or its employees.

“Please know that we recognize this is a very heated topic at the moment and Google finds itself in the challenging position of both helping to ensure users are well-informed when looking at information online and our commitment to free speech, including content that may not represent views with which our employees or indeed Google are comfortable,” reads the leaked document.

Google’s concern about ensuring users are “well-informed” sounds more like rhetoric from a news outlet – in fact, many outlets use derivatives of slogans about how they’re keeping their audiences “informed” – than an Internet platform immune from third-party content per Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

Granted, in the document Google admits that defining “fake news” would require it to make the assessment on what is the truth around the world, but Google somehow doesn’t have an issue with using the phrase “hate speech” in the next sentence despite that presumably requiring Google to make a similar assessment on that definition.

Whistleblower: Google Broke Search Engine On Purpose, Built Back Doors To Secretly Control All Information

Zach Vorhies has gone public for his own safety after exposing Google’s political bias and censorship.

In fact, the other documents outlined below indicate that Google doesn’t have that much of a problem with making its own assessments regarding news content – much like a publisher.

This confirms popular concerns that the company is operating much like a news outlet (e.g., CNN, Fox News, NBC, et al.) rather than a platform performing a neutral function.

The document also describes a metric called a “badness vector” to measure how far a publisher’s content strays from what Google is “comfortable” with.

This “badness” baseline is apparently used by Google to maintain the “quality” of what it calls the “News Corpus,” or ‘body’ of the news on the Internet, another leaked document reveals.

This “News Corpus” is the heart of an intricate “News Ecosystem” that utilizes algorithms and “quality checks” to foster the news before it reaches news clients, according to a leaked infographic.

Correspondingly, in what is described as a “goal” in an internal email, Google is seeking to “establish a single point of truth” for what constitutes as news across its products.

In an apparent effort to facilitate this goal, an operation called “Project Purple Rain: Crisis Response & Escalation” was drafted to “detect and handle” the spread of what Google deems as “misinformation.”

“[Operation Purple Rain] Goal: Establish and streamline news escalation processes to detect and handle misinformation across products during crises,” reads the internal email. “Install 24/7 team of trained analysts ready to make policy calls and take actions across news surfaces including News, News 360 and Feed.”

“[Policy Development & Enforcement] Goal: Develop and proactively enforce misformation[sic] policy that scales across News products.”

Notably, this internal email concludes by explaining the employee who received the message did so because they are subscribed to a Google Group called “news-quality-working-group.”

Again, if Google is acting as a platform per Section 230, then why would it have a group called “news quality?”

Wouldn’t the quality of the news be the responsibility of the news publisher and not the platform?

These findings overwhelmingly support whistleblower Zach Vorhies’ revelations that Google selectively boosts or demotes content.

“Google is playing both sides of the game,” said Vorhies. “On the one hand, they’re saying they are a platform and that they are immune from being sued for the content that they host on their website. On the other hand, they’re acting as a publisher, in which they’re determining the editorial agenda of these certain companies, and they are applying that.”

“If people don’t fall in line with their editorial agenda, then their news articles get deboosted and deranked. And if people do fall in line with their editorial agenda, it gets boosted and pushed to the top.”
