Google is a private company. They are under no obligation to make their service “fair.”

This is like getting angry at private companies for not adhering to the first amendment.

If people don’t like it, don’t use it. If you are smart enough…build a competitor. If you have kids, teach them why it shouldn’t be trusted.

I hate it when the right whines like little woke school girls.

I know what you’re saying, but it is a tad disheartening to realize how many people are so easily manipulated, and the extent of access Google has to so many people while they are unaware of it.

You’re right. We should be smart enough to pick and chose whatever informational input addends to the enjoyment of life.

I make use of gmail. Rarely use Google as a search engine.

Here, however, maybe a bigger problem: What appears to be an open invitation for government spying on its citizens. If they can,”create” a government after their own hearts, that goverbment will gladly alliw and encourage it, and then generate a calcified set of legislation that stifles the very principles of our founding.

Google operates on smartphones. Smartphones require cell phone antennas, which are regulated by the FCC. Therefore Google is subject to FCC rules.

Apparently you don’t understand Google’s origins, the intentions of its backers and beneficiaries, or the network effect in online monopolies.

So, Google conspires with government officials to withold information from private citizens, without ever telling them what they are doing.

That is far from acting as a private company. In effect, they have formed a cabal with government officials to fraudulently steal elections.

“Google is a private company. They are under no obligation to make their service ‘fair.’”

I get so tired of correcting this error which is endlessly repeated on this forum.

Companies like Google are publicly traded. The PUBLIC owns them. So, yes, they MUST be fair because they are highly regulated. The leaders are using other people’s money to do these things.

Might even be money from your 401k, which would mean YOU are an owner.

Do you think using corporate funds and resources to do politicking is a good fiduciary practice?
