Google, Facebook and other companies are “protecting” us by imposing a censorship that drains the remaining blood of democracy and free expression.
The president's own shortcomings are no excuse for his appointee’s vandalism of State. The damage the former fossil fuel magnate has done is visible around the world.
Independent media outlets like Truthdig, AlterNet and more are fighting the loss of readership due to "Goliath Google."
