Google is unveiling a new feature that will monitor users and warn them when they use words that are not politically correct or “inclusive.”
“The tool will be a part of Google Docs and will flash up warnings to writers to avoid certain words and phrases that ‘may not be inclusive to all readers,’” the Scotsman reports.
If a word indicating gender, or otherwise offends liberal activists, is typed, Google will interrupt with a warning reading “Inclusive warning. Some of these words may not be inclusive to all readers. Consider using different words.”
“Writers will be prompted to use a different word instead from a list of more acceptable replacements,” the Scotsman reports.
“With Google’s new assistive writing tool, the company is not only reading every word you type but telling you what to type,” Silkie Carlo, the director of Big Brother Watch, tells The Telegraph.
“This speech-policing is profoundly clumsy, creepy and wrong, often reinforcing bias. Invasive tech like this undermines privacy, freedom of expression and increasingly freedom of thought,” says Carlo.
The Scotsman reports that among the words that will be flagged are:
* “Landlord,” which is to be replaced with “property owner” or “proprietor”
* “Mankind,” which Google suggests be replaced with “humankind”
* “Policeman,” which is to be replaced with “police officers”
* “Housewife,” which Google suggests be replaced with “stay-at-home-spouse”
Google even flags the word “motherboard” as offensive.
In an even more bizarre twist, Google appears to believe gendered language is even more offensive than actual hate speech.
“A transcription of an interview with former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, where he uses the n-word and says a host of other reprehensible things about black people, raised no red flags,” the New York Post reports.
The feature will be turned on by default and applied to all users.

Stay off Google.
Trying to make us all slaves
1984 has arrived.
This is very sad, and I will now be looking to replace anything that I have in connection with Google.
The indoctrinated are, now, in charge and ‘calling the shots’.
This is one of the many good reasons that I am glad that my documents are typed OFFLINE. A good free word processor such as OpenOffice or any decent text editor does the job just fine. I don’t need some left-leaning overlord to tell me how to type. I understand the rules of English grammar just fine, thanks to my very conservative father who taught English for 30 years at a local university.
Let’s go Brandon!
And I for one IGNORE this stupidity and TYPE my OWN words that I CHOOSE to use so Google can suck it.
I for one will not pay attention to such ignorance and use the words I CHOOSE to use so Google can suck eggs.
Don’t tell my what or how to comment!
Good thing I don’t use Google Docs then.
I’m so glad I don’t use google, haven’t for a long time now, because I love the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I hope any American who doesn’t love our rights has a marxist brainstorm idea to move to china, though I hope they aren’t murdered there for their organs.
Then the hell with goggle. I don’t take orders from them or honor them. I honor my God and the American Flag and pay taxes reluctantly.
This will go along perfectly with the new Ministry of Truth. Boy/girl, has Musk ever stirred up a hornets nest.
The left has lost any understanding of reality.
This company needs to be regulated they are censoring free speech and the truthactually they need to br disbanded and eliminated
