FULL TITLE: Google Considered Censoring Pro-Life Conservatives After Trump Win: “Let’s Reverse This in Four Years”
Google employees debated whether to bury conservative media outlets in the company’s search function as a response to President Donald Trump’s election in 2016, internal Google communications obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation reveal.
The Daily Caller and Breitbart were specifically singled out as outlets to potentially bury, the communications reveal.
Trump’s election in 2016 shocked many Google employees, who had been counting on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to win.
Communications obtained by TheDCNF show that internal Google discussions went beyond expressing remorse over Clinton’s loss to actually discussing ways Google could prevent Trump from winning again.
“This was an election of false equivalencies, and Google, sadly, had a hand in it,” Google engineer Scott Byer wrote in a Nov. 9, 2016, post reviewed by TheDCNF.
Byer falsely labeled The Daily Caller and Breitbart as “opinion blogs” and urged his coworkers to reduce their visibility in search results.
“How many times did you see the Election now card with items from opinion blogs (Breitbart, Daily Caller) elevated next to legitimate news organizations? That’s something that can and should be fixed,” Byer wrote.
“I think we have a responsibility to expose the quality and truthfulness of sources – because not doing so hides real information under loud noises,” he continued.
“Beyond that, let’s concentrate on teaching critical thinking. A little bit of that would go a long way. Let’s make sure that we reverse things in four years – demographics will be on our side.”

Google is EVIL.
Like CNN?
The FEC needs go bankrupt one of these tech giants with fine for unreported in kind contributions which this case make clear we’re intentional. It has to stop.
Bust the Trust
That is precisely what Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are now doing. They barely even go through the motions of denial anymore. Google probably does it for big users and formats.
Only approved outlets of the Ministry of Propaganda are legitimate news organizations.
I quit Google months ago,,,,Duckduckgo...they don’t spy on you!!!
Anybody that does a search (for anything politically important to the Left) on Google and reads the top sources, knows Google is silencing anything not Leftist. Whether they’re doing it by promoting Leftists sources above any other sources or eliminating altogether conservative or right of center can be determined by digging deep into the pages of returned search results. You’ll ALWAYS notice Leftist propaganda on the first few pages, regardless of whether you ever see any the credible alternate sources.
These are the same people who cry “1st Amendment” whenever someone mentions regulating them or the Internet. hypocrites, all........................
Try this :

I’ve been using it a couple of months, now.
Don’t need GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGLE any more......................
These obscene anti-American companies need to be broken apart like the Trust Busting days.
You do know that Startpage uses google for their search results? They supposedly anonymize the query to google.
“Considered?”

Not critical thinking in the sense of opposing conformity, no… But taking every opportunity to criticize & confound the Trump administration until we get the amount of “proper thinking people“ to return us to power.
By promoting open borders in all its forms and creating more categories of demographics through identity politics.
Google is slumping into the pit. They are making all the wrong moves. They are changing the way people feel toward them. If they do not stop, it is going to start to affect their stock.
