    :roflol:

    "break things up"?:roflol:

    Good luck with that.:bored:

    Poor PARANOID Trump.

    Already making up excuses for why he is going to LOSE in 2020.

    In any event, if that PARANOID, TINFOIL HAT, WIFE-RAPING, SNOWFLAKE (Trump) is thinking that (just like he thought in 2016) the election is going to be "rigged" against him...

    ...I hope who is ever "rigging" it, does a better job than in 2016 (when that Unprepared Imbecile was elected in the first place).

    Trump = Whiny Snowflake Crybaby.

    Already making up reasons why he is going to LOSE.:roflol:

    Break them up? I would have a problem if the Obama administration where in cahoots with Google but since that's not the case, there's no issue with Google.

    For these people calling for their heads, are you ready to shut down Fox news for biased reporting? The rumor I hear is they are bias even though they've said for years fair and balanced.

    So many businesses try to influence elections. I do have a problem using foreign governments to interfere with the elections because they will want something thing in return.

    Clearly, it isn't. That isn't what you are advocating for though. So why try to shroud yourself in something you clearly aren't advocating now?

    I don't use Google as a homepage or search engine. Sill use Yahoo but even with Yahoo I view it accordingly and not as a sole source of news info. Facebook for news of hardly. I don't even like to discuss politics on it.

    What "rights" are they exercising here? This isn't about free speech, it's about corporate content and using your corporate platform as a method to enforce tyranny. When Google et al plan and execute a specific technology strategy on their platform to stifle competing speech, they clearly are not exercising their speech rights, they are, in fact censoring those of others. Which, because they set Ts and Cs is their prerogative to do so. But, by attacking their political opponents they are also engaging in campaign speech in support of their candidates, which constitutes an illegal campaign contribution type. And because they are actively conspiring with the DNC et al, it's conspiracy against the interests of the nation. It is, de facto fascism.

    You are wise but in today's world of smart technology, your phone being Apple or Android, you are probably screwed. DuckDuckgo Google sensorvault. Look deeply and you will discover they know exactly where and you have been. It's plotted on a frigin' map. I managed to pull up mine and it is flat out scary.

    (New York) — Project Veritas has obtained a document from an insider at Google which appears to show internal suggestions of how to protest political events.

    Said Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe:

    “This document leak is the fourth in a series of leaks from inside Google and their subsidiary, YouTube. This new document appears to show internal coordination of political protests which contradicts Google’s public statements that they are politically neutral. More tech insiders are coming forward and we will continue to work with them to expose the secrets of Silicon Valley.”

    Trump is right yet again.

    then say goodby to free content, be $9.99 a month to watch youtube

    I am all for making it illegal for a foreign country to access Americans personal data.. say goodby to foreign outsourcing

    most political sites, left and right sell your data if you sign up for them... nature of free content

    So here we have our Trump Fanboys wanting the government to control who a private company associates with ... they want government to control what message gets put on the wedding cake ... this after bitchin' about gay couples forcing a private baker to put a message on their cake ...

    "Freedom of association," they cried. They even won the Supreme Court case that says a private company can determine the message they link to ... and now they whine like children when a private company determines what message they will link to.

    Trump is just trying to make excuses for why he will lose in 2020, he already sees the writing on the wall

    I thought of that too

    If facebook has to survive on paid subscribers it might value conservatives as much as liberals

    Liberals are normally supportive of privacy rights

    colluding with a foreign government to win the election is a crime

    employees at google supporting one party over the other is a right they all have, not a crime

    be sites like this one too, and when you give a credit card to sign up, your no longer anonymous, so maybe your right, people woudl watch what they say if anonymity was dead on the internet, so may become a nicer place overall

    course if anonymity is dead, do you really have more privacy?

    I think our generation was the last to really know privacy, things are changing, but that change will actually bring less privacy, with ip6 they will even know what device you are using as every device will have it's own address

    imagine if Trump knew who ever poster was, he may even personally attack you.. people woudl have to watch what they say on-line as their boss may not like the right or left or their religion, who knows how far it could go

    agree, they know what stores I go to even

    https://www.google.com/maps/timeline?hl=en&pb

    and yes, I allow it... I am concerned that they are outsourcing to much to India though.. I think India is starting to control too much of our infrastructure (most companies doing this, not just google)

    if India ever wanted to go to war with the USA, they could just flip a switch and take us down
