Google Fund To Pay For 1 Million Copies of Charlie Hebdo
BarbaraHudson writes The Register is reporting that money set aside from a deal with France's publishers is going to pay for the printing of 1 million copies of next weeks' Charlie Hebdo, "Eight of the 12 people killed were journalists attending an editorial meeting, however, a senior editor and the magazine's chief executive were in London at the time of the attack. They have vowed to do a massive 1 million copy print run next week – Charlie Hebdo's circulation is normally around 60k. The cash will come from €60m fund (€20m per year over three years) that supports digital publishing innovation. The fund was set up in 2013 following negotiations between Google and the French government as a remedy to demands from European publishers that Google pay for displaying news snippets in its search results.
OK, so how do I get a copy as I'm outside France? Time to prove that the pen is mightier than the AK-47.
I vote for a cartoon of Mohammed and his six-year-old bride Aisha on the front cover.
And a few Jesus & Moses gags inside for balance.
Most of the original people are dead, whoever and probably the new people are swimming in cash.
And once you start paying, in Europe, it will never, ever stop. Hope Google is prepared to give eternal handouts everywhere.
I'm left wondering if the people behind the attacks will try to get some of their more brain-damaged followers to believe that google is now a legit target, even though google had no say in how these funds were to be used.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
Will it have a caricature of Muhammad?
That's what needs to happen, millions and millions of Muhammad cartoons all over the World.
"If any question why we died, Tell them because our fathers lied."
The attack and barbarian murder of the people is in no way excusable but I doubt this will send any message or have a lasting effect. It seems like a knee-jerk reaction. Radical people will get riled up more and will do it again anyway. I really don't see plastering the place with "Je suis Charlie" stickers and silly cartoons is in anyway helping the victims, one of which was a muslim cop.
But shouting freedom and "fight radical islam" seems like the thing to do these days.
1. A group of people were murdered for expressing ideas which another group of people (the murderers) didn't like. This is wrong, the people behind the killings are guilty of premeditated murder and should be punished accordingly. It should also be noted that this kind of thing happens all the time. 2. From what I've seen of the publication in question it was not good satire, it neither made me laugh nor had any great insight. This is just my opinion.
No that would be be against the religion and not the people involved..
no.. what needs to happen.
Have a cartoon of the terrorists fucking goats, one of them unmasked showing missing teeth and a lazy eye.
Google's giving them $300K, but the government is giving them $1.2M.
While freedom of speech is a law that needs to be upheld, how many people would be happy with the government (or google?) giving an organization like stormfront a million dollars to publish pictures of Obama with a tail and a banana in one hand?
and the freedom.
Let's say a cartoonist had made some of those and had been killed by radical christians. Would the press really react with the same ferrocity?
Google isn't trying to do anything. The money comes from France's publishers fund, and it's irrelevant to mention the source of that money. Using the source of the source of the money you'd get the headline "AdWords customers To Pay For...", and so on.
How does funding a tree-ware print run fall under the remit supporting digital publishing innovation? I assume this refers to the Digital Publishing Innovation Fund, which Google said was created "to help support transformative digital publishing initiatives for French readers".
How are the Charlie cartoons racist, or, how is islam a race?
If construction was anything like programming, an incorrectly fitted lock would bring down the entire building...
How is this insightful ? The magazine isn't racist, and Google does not want to support it.
Google isn't "supporting" this, Google is just another injured party.
This is money that the French government extorted from Google and is now misusing for this purpose.
Suggestion to you: stop being such a f*cking moron and stop being led around by the nose by a bunch of journalists with a political agenda.
I know you're twisting the fact (Islam is not a race, Charlie hebdo is a leftist publication, etc). But I'd much rather side with the KKK than with Islam. At least they don't behead people for drawing cartoons in 2015. And I'm not even white.
Suggestion to Google:
You seem to want to support racist publications.

The Charlie Hebdo, second attack by lowlife politicians. Francois Hollande, before all this wanted to shutdown this magazine. The politicians jostling each other to try to get a Photo shot of themselves being important even pointing their fingers in the air when they see a camera even though they are talking to nobody. These journalists and cartoonist died for freedom of expression and none of these politicians represent freedom of expression. They all want to use these dead cartoonists and journalists. These lowlife politicians have no shame. If these dead cartoonists and journalists could do one more magazine from their graves what would they have printed? Francois Hollande, with his mistress giving him a blowjob with the caption: Unemployed actress sucks. Angela Merkel, with the caption Gestapo returns to Paris, Sieg Heil Monetary Union! Benjamin Netanyahu, get the fuck out of my way I’m going to build an Israeli settlement in this here Paris road. David haemorrhoid Cameron, am I on camera? are they taking pictures of me? look at me! look at me.. The world economy is safe in my hands I am not just a toffee nosed dickhead from an underprivileged island. Get that nigger out of my way! Sorry about any spelling mistakes I am rushing I’m on a deadline.
Well, Charlie Hebdo published a lot of hateful anti-christian and anti-jewish cartoons. Since nothing happened, they got cocky and upped the ante with anti-mohammed cartoons and got killed for it.
Charlie Hebdo is basically a hate group (radical atheists) publication.
The story of their demise is overblown, imo. On the same day, 30 got killed in Yemen by al-Queda, a few days ago 2,000+ in Nigeria by Boko Haram. Nobody cares.
Actually the magazine is deeply racist. Even conservatives like David Brooks have said things like "If they had tried to publish their satirical newspaper on any American university campus over the last two decades it wouldn’t have lasted 30 seconds." Of course Brooks thinks the problem is that universities aren't willing to celebrate racist speech, as if everybody deserves not just freedom of speech but that others provide them a platform for it.
And if what you are really saying is that same old canard that you can't be racist against people who share a common religion, I suggest you check your dictionary because the OED defines race as "A group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, etc."

So, if somebody says something bad about Nazis, they are racist ?
I was wondering if any malware writers would like to help.
Lots of malware will scan the infected computer for E-mail addresses so that it can send out spam.
Suppose someone wrote a virus which scans infected computers for E-mail addresses with common muslim first names, and sends a randomly selected offensive Mohammed cartoon to that person. One of 10 cartoons that comes bundled with the malware, for instance. (Google has many to choose from.)
This would have the simultaneous effect of trolling (getting others emotionally upset), swatting (getting others to do precipitous actions), ferreting out the extremists, and getting the Islamics more used to satire and criticism.
Of the proposals so far, I think this has the potential to really change the situation. It's like getting allergy injections to teach the body to tolerate irritation.
Any malware writers out there?
> So, if somebody says something bad about Nazis, they are racist ?
It depends on what they say. If they say nazis are bad because they gassed millions of people, then that's both factual and there is no further context to the statement. If they say nazis are bad because a couple of nazis killed a guy then that's a fact about those killers who happened to be nazis, not about nazis in general.
Boko Haram would be the true hate group in your little screed.
It's kinda like how global warming is like climate change. Actually, to a liberal, climate change is racism on a planetary scale. -HTH.
Charlie is not hateful a single bit, they're simply very offensive, which is different; but one may be mistaken anout it when one happens to be on the receiving end of their offensiveness. Besides, they don't switch targets over (long periods of) time: they are equally offsensive to all targets, without a discernable bias except based on what the current news gave them as the week's targets (side note: the remaining staff held an editorial meeting on Friday for next wednesday's issue. In Liberation's report of the meeting was this gem: one of the Charlie staff said "so, let's make this issue. What do we put in it?" to which another one answered "Dunno... what's in the news right now?" -- typical Charlie humor, like it or not).
If they say nazis are bad because they gassed millions of people, then that's both factual and there is no further context to the statement
Actually, most Nazi party members and supporters were not personally involved in the genocide, so that would not be factual. By the way, holocaust denial is a pretty big thing in the Muslim community. And even after the Paris attacks, I've heard a surprisingly large number of Muslims claim that the Jews were behind it.
Google did not support anything in this case. The only reason the name is brought up is because it is attached to a fund Google agree to create years ago to escape legal problems in france. Google has no say in how it is used or the present use.
> Actually, most Nazi party members and supporters were not personally involved in the genocide
Yes lots of people became members because they felt they didn't have a choice. But that is not the same as endorsing the party's beliefs.
Fun fact. Denial of the shoa(=holocaust) in Germany will put you in the dock and then most likely prison.
... until everyone is willing to say "yes, it was Islam, and we are done letting more of you into our countries," then all the hashtags and belated "I am {victims}" (they sure weren't Charlie Hedbo before it happened, when it might have mattered) and candlelight vigils and "oh nos, watch out for imaginary backlash" isn't going to do anything to stop this.
This is an evil death cult, and they don't care what we think, except to use an excuse for more murder.
Insulting the prophet does not carry the death sentence as during his life he was insulted, and worse. These attackers had Islamic precedent to draw from and had they looked it up, would not use the cartoons as justification. I submit to you that there is another reason behind this: http://www.independent.co.uk/v... There is no justification for the murders, but we can grasp to understand the underlying issues.

Hypocrite.
..Mullah or Pope, Preacher or Poet, who was it wrote: "Give any one species too much rope and they'll fuck it up"?
I thought Print was dead...
It very much carries the death sentence, and that was done during his lifetime. One 91 year old poet once wrote poetry condemning him, and he had one of his goons murder him. In protest against that, another poet - this time a pregnant woman - condemned him again, and Mohammed asked for her to be killed. The person who murdered her ran his sword through her belly, killing both her and her unborn child. Her remaining children were taken and converted to Islam.
Later, the murderer told Mohammed that he felt guilty about killing her. Mohammed responded that 2 goats wouldn't butt heads over her.
There had been riots over these, and the Jyland Posten cartoons in a lot of Muslim countries, not just Algeria. What prompted these 2 brothers wasn't any internal Algerian politics - it was Islam

for once this seems to be a good thing.
Yes, it is. When you sign up, you sign up for what they stand for. If they were saying "Jews at great" while secretly gassing them, that'd be one thing, but there was no secret that people were being rounded up for concentration camps. Anyone who knew that and signed up was complicit. Much like all the people who voted for Bush are complicit in all the acts he did. It's not like it was a secret who he was, and what he advocated. And he won. Twice. If Bush were hanged for treason, so should all the people who put him there.

> there was no secret that people were being rounded up for concentration camps.
Concentration camps are not the same as gassing them.
If you'll recall, we had concentration camps here in the US.
My grandmother was in one.
And if what you are really saying is that same old canard that you can't be racist against people who share a common religion, I suggest you check your dictionary because the OED defines race as "A group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, etc."
Hmmmm...does that mean that you would consider Christianity to be a race? Really?
Young girls are pretty, cute, and nice often.
Women do not want men to have them because they are superior to grown women.
The Old Testament allows you to have a female child as a bride.
Read Deuteronomy 22 28-29 in hebrew.
The west's religion is feminism.
It's APK's schizophrenic ass, in case you hadn't figured that out. He actually keeps a file with Slashdot user IDs and links to posts where people have "insulted" him and his superior knowledge, then he follows them around for weeks trying to bait them into arguments. Never criticize APK's sacred hosts file, otherwise he'll start stalking you too.
Charlie Hebdo is disgusting. Google just made my top pathetic list.
But I'd much rather side with the KKK than with Islam.
I'd tend to side with National Geographic myself - but I tend to prefer light to heat.

Doesn't explain why there was a Jewish section of the German army ?
Just another building 7, I guess.
That's why the US tried revisionist history to call them internment camps and such, but my dad was 16 when WWII ended. They were "concentration camps". But we "knew" they weren't killing people in them Did the Germans not know anything about the conditions in their camps? 3,000,000 enter. 0 leave. The math doesn't add up.

You are being too cute and cryptic for me. I didn't see the Jewish section of the German army. And are you saying that the Jews took down the World Trade Center?

Once they start bombing Yemen will you care little sand nigger?
That includes judgement, which is subjective. Saying they gassed millions of people is correct. Saying it was a bad thing is putting your own judgement on it. Someone else might think it was a good thing. Also, not all nazis gassed jews. You can't make blanket statements like that about the whole german population. They all were, to some extent, nazis or nazi supporters.
How about giving the money to the families of the deceased instead?
Your ignorance knows no bounds.
