In case you just thought that COP28 (that's the event in Dubai where elites have gathered yet again to tell the rest of us how to live) was just about 'climate change,' think again. Sure, while they still want to take away all of our modern conveniences to 'save the planet' (while giving up none themselves, of course), they also want to control how we think and interact with each other.
This is where Al Gore, noted for having invented the internet, entered the picture at COP28. Gore took aim at the newest deadly threat facing the world: social media algorithms. We're not sure why he has such a problem with something that was clearly named after him (Al Gore ... algorithm ... get it?), but apparently, they are worse than AR-15s. Or something. Watch:

Leftists never met something that they didn't want to ban. Funny though how social media algorithms have been around since 2009, but Gore never had a problem with them until recently, now that Twitter/X under Elon Musk isn't using them to ban and deboost conservative speech and ideas.
OHHHH... This is just "ALL OF A SUDDEN," obviously.

Maybe he just doesn't like that algorithms point to him every time someone mentions the name 'ManBearPig.'
Now he's mad that he invented the internet. https://t.co/wXysAi9Z5u

But he invented the Internet…

Why would the creator of the internet say such a thing!

So the “inventor of the internet” thinks an internet messaging system should be banned? Why, because we’re sharing “inconvenient truths”?

LOL. We see what you did there.
The comparison to AR-15s was also pretty bizarre in its own right. We're still trying to make sense of that one and we're coming up completely blank. Most likely, it's just a lazy comparison between one thing the left demonizes to another thing the left wants to demonize. What's next? Tax breaks are AR-15s? Probably.
I got pulled down a rabbut hole and believed that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2012. It started in 2007 with a scary film about the end of the world https://t.co/InyrIXQRk3

Ahh, but see, it's different when they do it. Notice that the only 'rabbit holes' Gore is worried about here are on the right (even fictional ones like 'QAnon'). He doesn't seem to have a problem with algorithms that direct people to content that says men can have babies ... say on TikTok.
While a serious conversation may be had about the value -- or not -- of social media algorithms, Gore is certainly not the one to conduct it, given his track record.
Al Gore has been wrong his whole life

Wasn't this the same guy that said the icebergs would be melted by 2013?

Aren’t we supposed to be underwater by now with his predictions???
— Anthony King (@aking83) December 6, 2023
Yep. We seem to recall that prediction as well.
But it's obvious that Gore's real problem, as with every like-minded leftist, is just free speech in general.
The venn diagram of climate cultists and anti-free speech crusaders is a circle

They don't like us talking back to them. Probably because they lie about everything. https://t.co/FNZPgfFjDb

We're always so annoying when we point out the things they say that aren't true.
They HATE the free exchange of ideas.
— D MaC (@McC_711) December 6, 2023
They want absolute control.
Pure evil.
Al Gore needs to be banned from the internet. 🤷🏻♀️
— 🎄Kristi🎄 (@TheyCallMeNans) December 6, 2023
He IS pretty tiresome. But we think a better idea is to let him speak, so we can mock the ridiculous things he says.
— Lynn Mc (@mcgr00) December 6, 2023
Yes, we did, Al Gore. Yes, we did. But don't feel bad. It's only because you deserve it.
