    President Donald Trump reacted Wednesday to reports of Google’s efforts to suppress conservatives online.

    “Let me tell you, they’re trying to rig the election,” Trump said during an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. “That’s what we should be looking at.”

    ...Trump acknowledged that Europeans and the European Union were already suing tech companies for various reasons. “We should be suing Google and Facebook, perhaps we will,” Trump said.

    The president said executives at Google were liberal Democrats and would try to stop his supporters in 2020. “These people are all Democrats, it’s totally biased toward Democrats,” Trump said.

    Looks like Trump is on it.

    Google/youtube is censoring conservatives out of desperation over 2020.

    Time to break things up.

    Sounds like you aren't up to date with the news-this is what they are counting on...

    Research I have been directing in recent years suggests that Google,, has amassed far more power to control elections — indeed, to control a wide variety of opinions and beliefs — than any company in history has ever had. Google's search algorithm can easily shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by 20% or more — up to 80% in some demographic groups — with virtually no one knowing they are being manipulated, according to experiments I conducted recently with Ronald E. Robertson.

    Do you not understand what I underlined in that quote?

    Here it is again...

    Google influences people and they don't even know it. It can shift the votes of undecided voters by up to 20%.

    Thats enough to swing a Presidential election.

    Google knows this. The Democrats know this.

    Everyone knows but you.

    How can google change a vote? If Russia can’t then neither can google.

    Google controls what billions of people around the world see.

    They PROVIDED China with a system to censor its own people. (helping commies be commies).

    They do what the MSM does, on a scaled up basis.

    They control what news you see, the tone of that news, commentary on that news, video's on that news, etc.

    Also, if they don't want something to get out-it disappears.

    That is what Google did with the Veritas report that is the smoking gun for bias.

    Its too powerful, and too orwellian.

    Even "liberals" get it.

    The same way the national news media pushed the American people into going along with the invasion of Iraq. If you control the biggest source and people are headline readers... they're going to align with that headline. Low information citizens still vote and are proud of their ignorance.

    Nonsense.

    Utter nonsense that people want to blame their own stupidity on something other than themselves.

    Conservative Republicans, then exception being the President are to stupid to use social media.

    Donald owns it better than a teenager

    Accusing google of election interference has to be the single dumbest thing uttered about our current political environment.

    A rather odd comment from one who sees Russia in everything President Trump does.

    The narrative is that Russia buying a few dozen Facebook ads was a incident of election meddling because their plotting was to manipulate information relative to the process. This is what Google has been exposed for plotting except on a MASSIVE scale. No America, regardless of political affiliation, who has any honest bone in their body would write this off.

    This is is in the past mind you when Google was not so brazen.

    By Epstein’s calculations, biased Google results could shift the vote in November by up to 2%, or about 2.6 million votes. This may not seem huge, but many presidential elections in the United States have been decided by margins narrower than that. (Think Bush versus Gore in 2000.) As of the writing of this article, FiveThirtyEight shows Secretary Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump in the polls by 6.4%, but that margin has expanded and contracted considerably over the last few months. At the end of July, for instance, Trump trailed by less than 1% of the popular vote—well within the realm of the search engine manipulation effect (although the Electoral College does complicate the discussion somewhat). State and local elections may be even more vulnerable.

    Clinton won(Popular vote) by what 2.8 Million?

    So the Russians spending $40,000 on social media was a big nothingburger?

    $40,000 on social media is a fraction of the damage Google could do in one minute but you know that. Do I worry about it? Nope, I am sure they tried the very same thing in 2016 which proves to everyone that Trump's margin of victory was a major landslide, don't you agree?

    For Trump lovers:

    A foreign government trying to influence an election = OK
    An American company exercising its 1st Amendment rights = treason

    While your team was focused on trying to blame Russia, this shadow government celebration was taking place.
