Dotcom had earlier tweeted about Seth Rich, the DNC staffer who was murdered in July 2016. Rumors that his death was in some way connected to the hacking or leaking of DNC emails during the US presidential primaries have circulated since he died. Dotcom maintains he knows who passed the DNC’s emails on to WikiLeaks, and why.

 

Dotcom told RT many of his followers had shared similar experiences with retweeting, saying that it seems the platform “is actively targeting accounts that talk about the Seth Rich case.”

 

“There is a large number of Twitter users out there, especially Trump supporters, who claim that they sometimes cannot even retweet the tweets of the President,” he added. “I’m thinking this isn’t just a bug. I think Twitter is proactively interfering with free speech because of the political bias of its leadership,” Dotcom said. “And if that is true then the time has come for a Twitter alternative, a neutral platform without censorship.”

 

Dotcom said he likes the platform and wants to give Dorsey a chance to respond to reports of censorship. “If he can assure us that Twitter won’t violate free speech then I have no desire to create a twitter alternative,” he said. “I like Twitter. It’s a great communication tool that must be protected from the political bias of twitter management or shareholders.”

The videos in the database collated by Chaslot and shared with the Guardian were watched more than three billion times before the election. Many of the videos have since vanished from YouTube and the research prompted several experts to question whether the algorithm was manipulated or gamed by Russia.

 

The Alex Jones Channel, the broadcasting arm of the far-right conspiracy website InfoWars, was one of the most recommended channels in the database of videos.

 

In his statement, Warner added: “The [tech] platform companies have enormous influence over the news we see and the shape of our political discourse, and they have an obligation to act responsibly in wielding that power.”

 

Warner’s warning about potential foreign interference in YouTube’s recommendation algorithm is especially noteworthy given Google repeatedly played down the extent of Russian involvement in its video platform during testimony to the Senate committee in December.

 

The committee’s investigation into Russian interference in the US presidential election is ongoing but has so far mostly focused on Facebook and Twitter.

 

The 8,000 YouTube-recommended videos were also analysed by Graphika, a commercial analytics firm that has been tracking political disinformation campaigns. It concluded many of the YouTube videos appeared to have been pushed by networks of Twitter sock puppets and bots controlled by pro-Trump digital consultants with “a presumably unsolicited assist” from Russia.

 

This and other techniques may have encouraged YouTube’s recommendation algorithm into disseminating videos that were damaging to Clinton. Chaslot has said he is willing to cooperate with the Senate intelligence committee and share his database with investigators.

 

Correspondence made public just last week revealed that Warner wrote to Google demanding more information about YouTube’s recommendation algorithm, which he warned could be manipulated by foreign actors.

 

The senator asked Google what it was doing to prevent a “malign incursion” of its video platform’s recommendation system. Google’s counsel, Kent Walker, offered few specifics in his written reply, but said YouTube had “a sophisticated spam and security ­breach detection system to identify anomalous behavior and malignant incursions”.

 

Google was initially critical of Guardian’s research, saying it “strongly disagreed” with its methodology, data and conclusions. “It appears as if the Guardian is attempting to shoehorn research, data and their conclusions into a common narrative about the role of technology in last year’s election,” a company spokesperson said. “The reality of how our systems work, however, simply doesn’t support this premise.”

 

However, last week, after correspondence between the Senate intelligence committee and Google was made public, revealing Warner’s written exchange with the company over the recommendation algorithm, Google offered a new statement.

 

“We appreciate the Guardian’s work to shine a spotlight on this challenging issue,” the new statement said, pointing to changes made since the election to discourage algorithms from promoting problematic content. “We know there is more to do here and we’re looking forward to making more announcements in the months ahead.”

 

On Friday, after it was informed the Guardian would imminently publish its investigation, YouTube provided an interview to the Wall Street Journal in which it laid out plans to label state-sponsored content and tackle the proliferation of conspiracy theories on the platform.

 

The Journal reported the plan “was early in development, so it is unclear when it would take effect – or how the site would select conspiracy theories”.

I don't care what people think of Alex Jones (I consider him the Vince McMahon of news kek) but first they come for the people you may not agree completely with so you say nothing. Next they go after more and more legitimate sites. Must support the guy. Where we go one we go all.

Article they are referencing in the email. Alot of chess talk and whether he's a chess master or pawn. Also that he seems to be many moves ahead. I'm thinking he was using NSA and Clowns to spy and make his moves.
