Tech Giant Calls AbleChild “Dangerous,” Punishes Joe Hoft
Republished with permission from AbleChild.
Google just branded AbleChild’s reporting “dangerous” and quietly cut off ad revenue to JoeHoft.com related to the article, without the basic courage to ask a single question of the organization whose work it targeted. AbleChild received no warnings. This was not a dispute over facts, corrections, or sourcing. It was a one‑sided financial execution of an investigative story that dared to follow the Medicaid money in Minnesota and name the powerful behavioral‑health interests standing to lose from real scrutiny.
Joe Hoft is not just another voice online; it is deeply ironic that he happens to hold multiple degrees as a corporate auditor in the United States and has worked in China & multiple countries, bringing international auditing experience to his reporting. That background makes this audit story even more important, because Hoft actually knows a little something about audits and how financial systems can be gamed from the inside.
AbleChild’s Minnesota investigation is straight investigative journalism: it tracks how three dominant behavioral providers helped shape Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention rules, how those rules created loopholes and shielded established players, and how a $2.3 million AI “audit” contract looks more like political cover than real oversight. It raises uncomfortable questions about whether the tools sold as fraud detection are instead locking in protections for insiders while federal prosecutors chase smaller operators for a fraction of the total scheme. Nothing about that work fits any honest definition of incitement or hate. It is dangerous only to those whose contracts, careers, and reputations rest on keeping the public ignorant of how the system really works.
By slapping a “dangerous or derogatory” label on Joe Hoft’s platform at the URL carrying AbleChild’s exposé, Google didn’t just hit one site’s bottom line; it weaponized its dominance over digital advertising to punish a journalist, an author, and a podcast commentator with hard auditing credentials for using precisely those skills on a politically sensitive Medicaid scandal. The company never reached out to AbleChild to request documentation, never flagged a specific sentence, never invited a response from the author—just a silent algorithmic verdict that stripped revenue and smeared the work. In any other context, branding lawful investigative reporting “dangerous” with no notice or explanation would be recognized for what it is: a defamatory act of raw power.
The warning shot is unmistakable. If a nonprofit watchdog and a credentialed commentator can be financially throttled for exposing how behavioral‑health corporations, consultants, and politicians engineered a billion‑dollar environment ripe for fraud, then every smaller outlet has been told exactly where the red lines are. You can talk about “waste, fraud, and abuse” in the abstract all day long. But if you connect the dots from specific providers to specific contracts to specific failures of oversight, the world’s largest advertising gatekeeper may quietly choke off your livelihood and call you the danger.
The real danger is not AbleChild’s story or Joe Hoft’s decision to publish it. The real danger is a system in which children’s diagnoses are monetized, oversight is outsourced to entities with skin in the game, and a handful of tech and health‑industry giants can decide—without debate, transparency, or accountability—which investigations are allowed to be seen and which will be starved into silence.

Google has too much power of information
Time to break google up into tiny, tiny and yet smaller pieces!
Say into one company per letter in the alphabet?
Anti trust laws need to be dusted off on many fronts!!
CENSHORSHIP = The #1 threat to freedom everywhere!
TGP comes to mind
II'm Banned
I said something negative about gays and have been banned since Joe hofts "wife" is a man!!!
Maybe Google should take all their equipment and move to Somalia as well.
Apparently their viewpoint is that it was totally ok for the Somalians in Minnesota to rip off the state for a Billion dollars and funnel the money overseas to Al Shabaab which is an Al Qaida affiliate.
After all we gotta hide that crap. Screw the Minnesotans that are cheezed off as all hell about being defrauded out of a Billion dollars in the welfare and child care systems…
Time has come for Hoft and AbleChild to get a public interest law firm or two and sue Google for $150 billion in punitive damages!!!
Put the SOBs out of business!!!
$150 wouldn't put them out of business.
Repeal S230.
I never use google, in searches, not even google documents. the whole organization is a trap.
Do you have an Android phone or watch YouTube videos? If so, then Google knows all about you. Google is pervasive and needs some serious reining-in by our government.
Read my finger tips. I dont use google.
If you don't use Google, then I guess they don't know all about you. Only 95% about you. There is no way you could possibly escape their reach if you have posted anything, anywhere.
Your trying to make a point in there somewhere pondexter?
The point is, is that if you don't think you use Google, then you are the poindexter.
The point is I manage my exposure. You cant comprehend that.
Listen Moron, I don't care how much you try, or what pathetic tools you use, there is NO WAY you can escape Google spying on you. Especially if you post on the internet often (which, according to your profile, you post a lot).
You have been blocked and reported for harressment. Have a nice day.
Our government needs reigning in.
Not when it comes to Corporate FASCISTS SPYING ON US.
Exactly why there are hard target maps of "data centers"
Maybe time to break up google into smaller companies, like the US did to standard oil in 1911.
Old media is owned by big pharma.Count the ads and see if that even seems to add up or is it a strait out bribe?
Big tech social media is the new media and we all know the same players are trying to figure out work around to achieve the same end results as they had with old media.
This is BS…
No. This is warfare!
Both are TRUE!
This isn't a warning shot. It is a shot aimed to injure if not kill. If at all possible, sue the ever living tar outa the Goggle.
That's what I think. Google needs to PROVE that they are dangerous and why not just randomly slander them because they don't agree. Sounds like a Democrat(s) is behind this for sure.
Sue Google for 10X the losses….
1000x !
Meh every "news" outlet is just pushing narratives now… no accountability anywhere but they need to keep up the pretense of being "for the tax paying man"… nothing but inbred clowns preventing accountability everywhere!
wow this keeps happening wonder why
I wonder if you could sue Google over this. It's clear to me that they violated their own policies here.
That’s why they never give clear and concise reasons for demonetizing or pulling videos. You can never nail down a moving target. If they fit with Google’d politics, there never see,s to be an issue, but cross that line and weird things start happening.
I do my best to not use them for anything ,but it is imposable they have us surrounded !
There are other services. Maybe not as convenient, but there are.
It's not complicated. Google is just another power and money craving Democrat front.
Why would google even give a rat's a$$ about anything AbleChild would do ? What this tells me is the data got a little too close someone important who made a phone call to someone at Google. That is what this says to me. It would also indicate the reporting is right on target and Trump and team need to be made aware of it.
I was thinking the same thing…why would a "tech giant" care about AbleChild at all? All of a sudden, Google feels it has to "protect" society from a group trying to protect children? WTF? After they spent decades pimping for Obama & Biden & any CommieDem who breathes?
I say we look into Google to see why they are suddenly offended by AbleChild….where there's smoke….. there's Dems playing with matches!
It is strange. Someone big must have felt threatened by the AbleChild piece. Will have to go back and look at it more closely.
Google monopolizes the internet.. it needs to be broken up and have a Government watch dog added that will hold them accountable for there tyrannical actions.. Maybe instead of fines. Prison time would be better to show that these elitists who believe themselves to be more powerful then the President and US Government.. ARENT above the Laws.. no matter how much money they have
I do not trust government watch dogs. Just eliminate Google.
I have no problem with that either
Government is the watch dog. Intelligence agencies control the internet.
Former google CEO Eric Schmidt visited the o'bama White House, no less than one hundred times.
So it's a freedom of the press civil rights suit. Right? Nothing like owning a slice of google. 10% should give you plenty of relief.
sue the hell out of google
It is real simple. File a federal civil lawsuit for damages in the neighborhood of 1 billion $$$$.
Somebody's well-connected ox was getting gored when the truth comes out.
As an aside, there are certain very large insurance companies in MN.
I would say sue hem, but with our current feral judges, you cant even lock up a child rapist and murderer. Google, means to spy btw.
This should be illegal
F Google!
I NEVER USE OR TRUST ANYTHING FROM THE PEDOS @ GOOGLE, NOR SHOULD ANYONE!
Well when TGP stops censoring stoop Ed words then I'll care what they do to you.
zuckerbucks does not give one crap about this country. He sold his soul and google to the chinese communist in its early days when the communist banned it. You can be sure that he was on his knees with his lips puckered before they let google into their communist utopia.
Information dominance has predictably led to abuse and corruption.
Everyone complains about Google but they don't do anything about it.
Boycott Google. No Chrome, no Android, no Gmail, nothing. Don't use it, and it will go away.
Google is run by the scum of the tech world.
Google must be involved.
All democrats always support, endorse, and advocate censoring everyone who isn't a democrat.
Yes and the real danger is also pHARMa and the medical industrial complex.
Joe Hoft won't let me post my opinion on numerous subjects and has censored my speech over fifty percent of the time.
Joe Hoft doesn't have the decency to allow a war veteran to post valid opinions to call out actions of this president that are contrary to his campaign speeches.
Why won't Joe Hoft allow my speech? He constantly complains about his speech being censored while censoring mine.
Wake up folks… These Hoft boys are right path Freemasons fighting a bloody war against the left hand path of Freemasonry for control of the future of this planet and all who abide here.
The fake GP(traitors) have no position to argue against the censorship of their trash because they censor more than anyone else hauling all the MAGA garbage that was all a lie.
"I don't want your support anymore is you want the Epstein files released" says the orange man.
What is there not to understand about the right path Freemasons. War Veterans see these pieces of garb clearly and will never back down from or look the other way.
Part of the first Ammendment is "Freedom of the Press". A free press is not forced to piblish your or anyone else's comments on their own news site.
Most left-leaning news sites disabled comments years ago. Here there is no viewpoint censorship, only dirty/naughty word filtering.
It’s illegal for a pubic facing institution to censor speech PERIOD!!!
ITS AGAINST TYE CONSTITUTION… it’s a no brainer.
No one has the right to censor speech in any form.
Your argument is unconstitutional. War Veterans will defend the rights of the people given to us by the Constitution.
Sounds like you can make a lot of money in court then. Good luck with that.
stay strong brother = we need you
Hey Google… tell me y'all are pedophiles without saying y'all are pedophiles.
Consider it a back-handed compliment. AbleChild was targeted because they are so effective.
Consider it a federal civil rights lawsuit for 1 billion $$$$.
SC tossed the last suit for “lack of standing”. “They can’t prove government was directly responsible for censoring them.”
Google is the “danger”.
Sue them. You're over the target Mr. Hoft.
Once upon a time, there were laws in this country regarding monopolies.
What the hell happened?
Does Hoft know his website was blacklisted at Google for a week ? Probably not. Had to go Duck , Duck to source the site.
This is what happens when you get close to exposing the control system that runs the lives of every American. How dare Ablechild expose intelligence grift money!
More foreigners running America.
GOOGLE engages in student data sell off$ to the highest bidders. They shouldn't be the default sign-in for classes. What a scam.
is Google, as an AI provider, involved at all in the "$2.3 million AI audit contract"? While some smaller company may be providing the AI audit tools, they generally use large AI cloud datacenter providers on which to run their models.
Investigate Google already!
Google is the dangerous one. Needs to be broken up.
After seeing Hofts article praising Israel as hero country and necessary for the USA
I no longer trust him or am outraged for him any linget
Anyone that tells a child they are evil based on their skin color or their sex ought to be kept far far away from children. And they should never be allowed to invade America.
