Our nonprofit group's award winning, prosocial, non-violent video games were removed by #Google.

🤥 They claimed that we had misled them by classifying them as #educational. Google purported to know more about our work than we do.

Somehow, the overall layout of Steven Hassan’s #FreedomOfMind website on #InfluenceContinuum and #UndueInfluence triggers a gut reaction about #MotivationalSpeakers and #SocialMediaInfluencers. Yet it sounds like the content is right up my alley in terms of #CriticalThinking and #Thoughtfulness.

We live with our biases.
