When it comes to Google, just about everything they do is shadowy and sketchy. But itâs not just Googleâthe real problem is the elected officials running cover for them. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have taken mountains of Big Tech money to stay in power, and in return, theyâve built the shaky ground weâre standing on today. They tell the public one thing to keep us quiet, then do the opposite behind our backs.

That’s what we recently reported on.
So, as you probably know, Big Tech is scrambling. YouTube has finally admitted what weâve known all along⌠that their evil censorship crusade against any Covid skepticism and election integrity reporting was âunacceptable and wrongâ and came straight from the Biden regime. Creators who were demonetized, banned, and silenced for telling the truth are now being reinstated, with monetization turned back on. Basically, YouTube is trying to undo the damage it gleefully inflicted for years, all in the name of Joe Bidenâs regime.
But as always, thereâs a catch.
We were told by Republicans like Jim Jordan that YouTube and their parent company, Google, were repenting for their sins and getting back to all-American freedom of speech. But thereâs more to the story. while YouTube plays its little âoops, our badâ act, Google is still running the same corrupt, anti-American censorship racket with AdSense.
Countless websites, including Revolver, remain blacklisted from Google ad revenue. And that double standard says everything about the game theyâre still playing, full speed ahead.
We recently reported on Google and YouTube finally bending the knee under pressure from the Trump admin and how they admitted their anti-American censorship campaign was wrong.
The GOP is taking a victory lap, acting like conservatives just won back their right to free speech. But thatâs not the full story. Not even close. Whatâs really happening looks more like another round of pacification from politicians who depend on Big Tech cash to keep their campaigns afloat.
Several months ago, we published a piece asking this important question: Is Jim Jordan the biggest disappointment in Congress? A lot of the criticism around Jordan centers on his troubling ties to Big Tech.
Revolver:
But what really set MAGA off was Jimâs cozy relationship with Big Tech.
Back in 2023, folks started digging into his history of campaign donations from tech giants, and it didnât sit right. Many believed those ties were creeping into his work and influencing him.
In October of 2023, The New Republic wrote a blistering piece calling out Jordanâs duplicity when it came to Big Tech.
Representative Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican running for House speaker, has made no secret of his dislike for the technology industry, repeatedly accusing major platforms of censoring conservative voices. But his outspoken stance belies a duplicity regarding Big Tech when it comes to his biggest financial backers, whom heâs hiring as advisers, and even the legislation he has quietly tried to kill.
A look into Jimâs donations revealed a politician fueled by the very people he claimed to hate. The New Republic piece goes on:
But a look at his campaign donors and Hill staff suggests he may be all talk.
Jordan has accepted more than $760,000 in total campaign donations from the communications and electronics industry since he first ran for Congress in 2006, according to OpenSecrets. And technology companies or industry-friendly organizations sponsored 17 trips, worth a combined total of about $39,000, for Jordan and his staff between 2012 and early 2023, according to financial disclosure statements reviewed by The New Republic.
Jordan also has ties to influential conservative organizations aiming to block or roll back antitrust regulations. His fourth-largest campaign donor since the very beginning (excluding the House Freedom Caucus PAC) is Koch Industries. Over the past 50 years, the billionaire Koch brothersâ sprawling network has, among other things, sought to slash government regulations on antitrust policy.
Jordan and his staff have gone on more than 55 trips funded by the Heritage Foundation, financial disclosure forms show. The conservative think tank opposes meaningful antitrust reform and has received more than $1.5 million in donations from Google, and $275,000 from Facebook. Jordan has participated in events for both the Heritage Foundation and the Koch network.
Jordanâs staff isnât just accepting the tech sector money as a perk, either. The representativeâs office is hiring people whose background predisposes them to oppose antitrust protections.
Weâre most likely being played by the very people pretending to care about our voices and freedoms.
Now, once again, Google is back on “bended knee,” pretending they care about all their past wrongs.
Sort of.
This time they’re admitting conservatives were right all along about being targeted for censorship, but before you start dancing in the aisles, celebrating a big victory, you should know there’s a big catch.
Last week, after years of leftist mockery, Google finally admitted conservatives were right all along about online censorship.
On Sept. 23, the tech giantâs lawyers sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee stating the obvious: Former President Joe Bidenâs administration applied ârepeated and sustainedâ pressure on the company to silence his political opponents.
Bidenâs tactics were âunacceptable and wrong,â the attorneys declared.
Pop the champagne corks!
But before the party gets underway, letâs be clear-eyed about what really happened here: Google admitted little, promised less â and pledged to change nothing.
Sounds right on brand for Google, doesnât it? No accountability, no justice, nothing, nada, zilch. They openly admit theyâve destroyed countless lives just to push and uphold the Biden regimeâs progressive agenda, and now, they wonât make a single change.
Heck, why should they? The GOP wonât hold them accountable. Nobody will. Big Tech is still calling all the shots.
In the next part of the New York Post piece, they explain how Google is weaseling out of their responsibilities. It all started with a letter that said a whole lot of nothing. It said nothing new, admitted no real wrongdoing, and volunteered nothing.
Google suited up in full-blown PR spin, played word games, and made it clear they wonât be bending to anyone, especially Republicans trying (pretending) to hold them accountable.
The New York Post piece continues.
Hereâs what Googleâs letter really told Congress.
1. Google revealed nothing new
Mark Zuckerberg already confessed, twice, that Biden officials repeatedly demanded Facebook censor conservatives and suppress important content, even describing the White House staff as âscreamingâ and âcursingâ at Facebookâs employees.
Elon Musk went further â the Twitter Files laid the censorship playbook bare in 2022.
With years to get it right, Googleâs carefully lawyered letter added nothing to the record.
2. Google admitted no wrongdoing
After numerous self-congratulatory paragraphs about how responsive, helpful and transparent itâs now being, the company never once admitted that its vast censorship efforts â and its even more pervasive manipulation of political content â were wrong.
It even misled Congress, falsely indicating that it did not target stories pertaining to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
That must have shocked truth-tellers like Jennifer Zeng, Matt Taibbi and Bret Weinstein, who know firsthand that the company silenced origin stories after announcing in 2020 that it was actively using fact-check panels to counter COVID claims.
Instead, Google wrapped itself in generalities: âIt is unacceptable and wrong when any government . . . Â attempts to dictate how the Company moderates content.â
Note the key phrase â any government. That is less contrition than warning.
With multiple ongoing congressional investigations and even more possible enforcement actions by regulatory agencies, Googleâs message to Republicans is unmistakable: Weâll use every bit of our $3 trillion of wealth to resist you.
In its own words, it âwill not bend to political pressure.â
3. Google volunteered nothing
Musk disclosed Bidenâs censorship machinery voluntarily. Zuckerberg required no subpoena.
Google? Only after legal compulsion did it produce a deliberately anemic letter.
Why? Because it has the most to hide.
You can read the entire article here.
Sadly, nothing about Googleâs mumbo jumbo letter or behavior should surprise anyone. It’s the same smoke and mirrors game and meaningless “lawyer-speak” these types are used to pumping out, with zero consequences. Just another reminder that Big Tech runs the show, while our so-called leaders look the other way.
The only way to make Google bow down to the people is through real accountability. That means stripping their special protections, breaking up their monopoly power, and hitting them where it hurts most: their money and market share.
Politicians wonât do it on their own, so public pressure, boycotts, alternative platforms, and relentless exposure are the only real tools that will eventually force change.
Until that happens, Google will keep doing exactly what it wants, and the American people will keep paying the price.
