Google Leaked a survey entitled Good Censorship

A survey-presentation by Google employees shows how the company manages freedom of speech and censorship. The presentation, which leaked is titled "The Good Censor" or "The Good Censor," on Breitbart News this week and is a mix of findings and ideas based on interviews and contributions from many journalists, academics and cultural critics.

The goal, according to the first slide of the presentation, is to "reassure people because Google protects against any harmful behavior, while supporting freedom of speech."Google

Οι διαφάνειες είναι μια σπάνια και έντονη ματιά στους συνεχείς αγώνες της Google, οι οποίοι υιοθετούνται σε πολλές τεχνολογικές πλατφόρμες της Silicon Valley, όπως το Facebook και το , and limit human conversations to a great extent.

Ουσιαστικά, η εταιρεία αναρωτιέται αν είναι δυνατόν να προστατευθεί από τις αρνητικές πτυχές της ελευθερίας του λόγου, ρητορική μίσους, απειλές, ψεύτικα νέα, bots, troll, προπαγάνδα και παρεμβάσεις στις εκλογές, προωθώντας παράλληλα μια που δίνει σε όλους φωνή. Η Google αναφέρει στην παρουσίαση ότι το βασίστηκε σε “ουτοπικές αρχές ελευθερίας της λόγου” και ότι η Silicon Valley κατασκευάστηκε σε μεγάλο βαθμό υπό τις κατευθυντήριες αρχές αυτών των ιδανικών.

Google's presentation acknowledges that "censorship can give governments – and businesses – the tools to limit the freedom of individuals." But it also explains all the reasons why tech platforms like Google search and YouTube are responsible for policing what happens on and their pages.

The slides give a history of how large parts of the internet have been taken over by malicious users and why big tech companies and governments alike have failed to address these the.
As far as censorship is concerned, Google notes on the slides how government requests have tripled over the past two years and that YouTube is now the target of most of these demands. Google Search is second.

The presentation concludes that technology companies are "trying to balance between two incompatible positions" and that this is why censorship is increasing in companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter.

The slides conclude that transparency, coherence and accountability are paramount in tackling this ongoing imbalance and that there is no "proper censorship" that satisfies everyone and resolves these issues.

The presentation is definitely an honest look at how a Google-sized business analyzes these issues and tries to solve them. But it comes to the eve of a Google search product and a news site in China. We have already mentioned the project under the code name Dragonfly and internal conflicts, from voices that are inconsistent with government censorship and Google's role.
The slides you see below do not mention China at all, their historical approach, electronic censorship and social authoritarianism.

In response to the leak, Google announced that the survey is not indicative and does not reflect any of the company's official positions. However, according to Google, this research helps to better understand how users think about these key issues.
