They are not liberal at all, they are socially progressive, which is leftist. Bill Maher, is a liberal.

THANK YOU. Intel is not Facebook or Google or Microsoft. They do not run software botnets, search engines, or social networks. They do not have political directives or dreams of changing the world. People with those objectives infiltrate other industries where they can actually influence something.

Occam’s razor. I’m a very conspiratorial person and I’ve seen nothing to suggest any nefarious activity or collusion so I’m not getting carried away on this.

This is a statement by the Intel CTO from 2016 on the ME discussions, and briefly reassured us that Intel is conscious of the security of the ME, and that they have teams dedicated to it and can push firmware updates out to cover vulnerabilities.

Intel made an official announcement in May that they have discovered an escalation of privilege vulnerability and are addressing it accordingly as you would expect. It also notes that consumer hardware and firmware is not affected by the vulnerability, demonstrating that Intel actually does release two different chips, and prioritizes privacy and security more over features on the consumer models.

Intel releases a software tool for checking if your system is one of the vulnerable units or not, they have a fix already for the firmware and confirm it is not due to physical design flaws, and are working with manufacturers to push the updates ASAP.

Overall, I don’t feel like Intel is at all intentionally sabatoging it’s customers, and genuinely considers the ME a valued feature by consumers, even though it bothers me that one is included on every product, they do differ and consumer models have fewer privileges than business models, which seems to be more of a firmware design than a hardware design, so I tend to believe that they simply don’t design extra chips without the ME and instead lock it down more on a software level. Vulnerabilities also appear to be firmware based, and the extremely vague announcement by black hat doesn’t suggest otherwise either. Intel very obviously takes the security of their devices very seriously and makes themselves available to users who need help identifying whether or not they’re vulnerable and what to do about it.

Yeah I’m really curious about that too, and I wish the guys would at least give that much detail but I guess they’d prefer to hype up the reveal at their event instead. I want to believe it requires physical access... For now I find comfort only in knowing that it’s a skylake+ vulnerability, and just continue to hope it doesn’t work down to other models as they learn more about the internal workings of the ME.

Since April/May, infowars organic traffic from google.com dropped from just below 1 million down to just above 500k.

Breitbart.com is down almost a million since April from almost 3 million.

The other sites mentioned are pretty mainstream with the right now, in a “too big to fall” kinda way, except voxday.blogspot.com but according to semrush, every single one of them have seen declines in organic traffic since April/May.

If you look very far to the right, Daily Stormer is outright banned from Google, and Godaddy.

Doubt it. It’s not left vs right. It’s establishment media trying to force itself back into relevancy.

They’re all antiestablishment, independent players. The “Vox Day”, “infowars”, “dailymail”, and “Drudge Report” of the left. It has nothing to do with the left and everything to do with anti-establishment, whether left or right.

Likely this is not targeted at left wing websites, and they are just a convenient victim. I also believe there are other factors. Peoples news preferences are changing a lot lately, but also I believe this change by Googles algorithm is in partnership with establishment preferred media, to promote them, rather than to target either the left or the right. There’s nothing to indicate the left is specifically targeted here. Establishment media is promoting itself. Anti establishment media is being “censored” whether left or right. When Huffpo and Salon start getting affected, I’ll reconsider my conclusion.
