Of course. Any information that goes against their “facts” is clearly a lie...
Then someone will make a fortune offering a program that inverts the google results.
Or the "facts" as measured by online information, which is malleable and will produce feedback-loops, similar to "flashmobs" only deeper and longer.
Among the problems is the lack of competition, now enshrined in Federal Diktat.
The Founders would be very concerned, I think.
Understand, these people believe there’s no such thing as truth, which really means there’s no such thing as facts. Everything is determined by the ‘narrative’ or by consensus usage.
We are entering a truly Dark Age.
I haven’t used google in years and it’ll be a cold day in hell if I ever use it again.
Substituting the free market of ideas with the reign of what a very, very few believe is the correct way to think.
A little disruption in the right places will avert like a strong breeze does a cloud of gnats.
So what facts will they include?
1. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.
2. Man-made global warming must be stopped immediately to prevent the destruction of the planet.
3. Al Gore invented the internet.
I liked duckduckgo.com
I just changed my browser’s default to search to be StartPage.
Thanks. Can’t stand bing. Might be better, but I lose patience before I can find the good in it.
Startpage is headquartered in the Netherlands, and supposedly does not collect ip addresses or your search history.
It uses the Google search database and provides results just as if it were done thru google search directly.
Its fairly much all I use.
As for Google being a nasty company -
It was reported last week that the FCC net neutrality vote was influenced by Google lobbying.
And recall that Obola, Hitlery and Dems in general have been lamenting the availability of information to us US subjects, that contradicted official Left wing narrative.
My guess is that the FCC’s hooks into governing the internet will one way or another give Dems just what they’ve wanted: An Internet Fairness Doctrine, ie: control over all online information, marginalize opposing points of view, disappear inconvenient facts.
Its 1984.
