Review of cbc

apparent slanted and bias reporting

Over the last four years, it is increasingly apparent that CBC often issues "news" stories with pro-liberal slant; does not always offer both sides of a story or properly qualify both sides of a story, and often appears to be slanted to pro-liberal reporting that appears to protect or shield news that would go against a Liberal position; re a memorable example would be the Truckers Freedom Rally - throughout which CBC was vastly and widely accused of bias reporting, to protect the governments (CBC paymaster) position. CBC is a PUBLIC agency, paid for by public tax dollars, NOT an agency beholden to its paymaster - the government of Canada. Most recently, reportage of Carbon Tax issue, which most tax-payers feel contributes largely to inflation and the high-cost of living, in editorial commentary fashion, appeared to come down soundly on the pro-carbon tax side of things - all members chosen for the panel were pro-carbon tax, no-one to represent opposing side. Real journalism and traditional news reportage actually and simply holds that both sides of an issue are given even keel, the reporter is only there to deliver balanced reportage - and refrains from having opinions. In my opinion, CBC often leans toward "perception management", rather than objective reporting. This bit of reportage I would hazard to say was in poor taste and insensitive to the millions of Canadians who are suffering at the hands of high cost of living at present.

Review of Instagram

AI Bans are disastrous

The service, when not administered by a malfunctioning AI driven moderation tool is great.

Review of Google

unethical work

a lot of spying on users and even manipulating their (our) views :(Google’s Growth strategy employee Dakota Leazer, openly admits to a stranger on a dinner date that the company actively manipulates the ad results to favor one US candidate over another (yes published by radically right-wing media yet still sad)Zach Vorhies, was an engineer who worked for Google’s AI and search divisions. He was so shocked by their totalitarian manipulation of search results, that he leaked over 900 pages of Google slides, emails, and memos to the DoJ. These documents show how they purposefully suppress certain news outlets, viewpoints, and dataand else :(
