So I was browsing my Google feed that I get when I swipe over from my home screen in Android and most of the stories are shit recommended to me based on some dumb algorithm where it tries to figure out what I’m interested in based on what I click on, search for, etc, all the usual spying on you bullshit. But then there’s a couple of the obvious Ukraine propaganda stories in there.
Sure no problem, I’m used to having to click on the little option button next to the story and telling it to either squelch the topic or stop showing the source website. Except those options aren’t there on the Ukraine stories, and only on the Ukraine stories. Google is forcing this propaganda into my feed and not giving me the option to remove it like I have with literally every other story in the feed.
Jesus fucking christ, this shit is getting out of hand.
This shit’s on Youtube too, and it seems like blocking the “”“news”“” channels that youtube pushes does nothing.
I blocked all of them a few months ago and they’ve all been unblocked, every single one of them. You really can’t escape propaganda on the mainstream internet of the west, they’ll find any means possible to ensure you see their headlines.
