Zach Vorhies vs. The Immunization of the Internet | Leaving the Left for Liberty | Ep 8

Zach Vorhies blew the whistle on Google’s push to create “a clean and regularly sanitized news corpus.” As we talked about in the last episode of Leaving the Left for Liberty, Google decided to no longer reflect the world we live in, but rather promote the world as they want it to be. In this episode, we explore how Google’s page ranking is becoming a social credit score of sorts. We talk about how the lab leak theory for COVID-19 was mocked and suppressed for months, and now it’s seen as legitimate due to the overwhelming pride and hubris rearing its head over the pandemic, and the danger of power-hungry narcissism in big tech and parts of human nature.

How might this approach to immunize the internet relate to the trend of dehumanization in the war on science? Could Google start locking our files? And is surveillance capitalism inevitable?

Free the People’s mission is simple—to make the values of liberty entertaining, accessible, and human. Free the People deliberately explores issues that bridge the partisan divide—topics like criminal justice reform, health care choice, and opposing corporate cronyism. We produce documentary films, video web series, and podcasts that illuminate the people and ideas changing the world for the better. We reach audiences across the political spectrum as a rational but passionate voice for liberty.

Free the People specializes in video production, creative storytelling, and social media engagement. We are building a community of people who believe in the values of freedom, entrepreneurship, individual responsibility, choice, and peaceful cooperation. Free the People finds and tells stories of people affecting positive change in their community through entrepreneurship and innovation. We defend free choice in everything from drug policy, to health care and retirement, to every aspect of the sharing economy. Our values, like "equal treatment under the law" and "innocent until proven guilty," animate fights for criminal justice reform. We tell the stories of people who have lived through the hardships of authoritarianism and collectivism throughout history. We show our viewers that beautiful things can happen when free people come together to make the world a better place.
