By Tony Romm Tony Romm Staff writer covering technology policy Email Bio Follow April 9 at 10:55 AM A congressional hearing to explore the spread of white nationalism on social media quickly served to illustrate the problem Silicon Valley faces, after anonymous users on YouTube began posting vitriolic attacks that targeted others on the basis of race and religion.
The hearing — held by the House Judiciary Committee — was streamed live on the video site owned by Google, which is testifying Tuesday. Alongside the live stream, a live chat featured posts from users, some of whom used it to publish anti-Semitic screeds and argued that white nationalism is not a form of racism.“Anti-hate is a code word for anti-white,” wrote another named Fight White Genocide.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Appearing before the committee, Alexandria Walden, the counsel for free expression and human rights at Google, stressed the tech giant has invested in people and technology to remove content that incites violent or spreads hate. “We know the very platforms that have enabled these societal benefits can be abused,” she said.
In many cases, Nadler said, social-media sites had served as “as conduits to spread vitriolic hate messages to every home,” adding that “Congress in recent years also has failed to take seriously the threat.”
You sure?
Hate speech = Facts. 🤡🌎
VeryFakeNews
White House bots?
Odd...sad...how people outside of our borders seem to be perceived as having a hegemony on hate and foul ideations that fundamentally threaten America's security. The domestic and the vitriol they projectile vomit on social media is apparently of no concern!
Not eeven a full 1% of the country claims white supremacy 🤣 we hear about street gangs who rob, kill, and rape, every night in local news but we don't hear about 'white nationalists' 🤣
Request Facebook to delete all jihadi hate also.
Good.
How is your Covington law suit going?
Well, just think for a second how Trump treated the guy in charged of his security(which I bet it was a nightmare, I would be like Fuck it). That is the example he is giving, so all his supporters think that disrespectful behavior is fine. Thank Trump for that on as well.
What about looking into Antisemitism in congress
If you notice that only white nationalism is being looked at not the hate and violence from antifa and black lives matter or the racism towards whites
I realize this is a free enterprise government, but the $$$ greed gets to be well extended at the price of millions of people. I wish more people could be humble with their success. Happy medium.

Watch: Dinesh D'Souza blames black and Latino nationalism for rise of white nationalismD'Souza claimed the Democratic Party 'created white nationalism, and in a sense they've also created black nationalism.' Dinesh is an inspired Hindu-Catholic defender of white nationalism! I always try to find out what convicted criminals and all-around bottom-feeders like Dinesh D'Souza think about current societal trends.
