well, if Google (which owns YouTube) wants to become an outright censor....
they can start by censoring fake or propagandistic “news” outlets like the NYTimes, WashPost, CNN, and the HuffingPost.

they can also censor out all the anti-Christian and anti-Jewish videos that they offer us every time we Search on YouTube for legitimate sermons or theological lectures or prayer service vids

Does that include hate crimes committed by liberals who try to blame conservatives?

Considering they have:
* near monopoly on English language searches
* near total monopoly on online advertising because of the above
* serious bias in promoting THEIR content like Google books and Youtube
* potential labeling as a utility due to dominance of communications from Youtube to email, as well as public service obligation for balance which we know they do NOT have (why else remove Trump from instant answer search results for President?)

“Fix” like the cat?

I am afraid that it won’t work as people are beginning to see who are the fakers and who are the truth tellers.

What’s the best alternative to Google that supporters free information flow? Anyone?

It appears that Google has already implemented some of its censorship. I did a search on ‘voter suppression examples’ and all I got was bird-cage-liner ‘fake news’ sites like slate and salon proclaiming how there was a massive Trump voter suppression effort underway or how Trump had stolen the election through voter suppression. I got nothing for actual examples or any reference to Dem voter suppression, real or imagined.

So, looking to switch to a more honest provider. Anybody have any suggestions?
