Google has a knife that it holds over the jugular vein of all internet publications that depend on advertising revenue. It holds a dominant position in the digital advertising market and could, by denying ad revenue to any digital publication it targets, drive that voice out of business.

US social media has an emerging NOMENKLATURA system, and if your name is on the LIST of Thought Crime Persons, then it's okay for everyone to publicly threaten you with DEATH.
Use anti-monopoly laws to break up Google and the other “master of the universe” entities.
Google is EVIL.................
Don’t be EVIL...................
“celebrate diversity” ....”tolerance” ....”inclusivity” ....except for us!!!!
Forget the call that these are private companies and that they can do what they want. They have achieved such a market dominance that they have become natural monopolies. They need to be declared public utilities and stripped of their ability to deny service, just as the phone company cannot deny service to its users.
corporation designed and dedicated to make sure Orwell's 1984 becomes a reality, as soon as satanically possible...............
The Nazis would pee their pants to have had this level of control and access to information.
Google keeps making the case against itself for the antitrust division.
We’ll all be very sorry if it doesn’t happen pretty soon.
Google is toxic.
Of whom they can trample on because they’re GOOGLE?
Break it up..
It is not illegal, in the US, to HAVE a monopoly.
It IS illegal, in the US, to use your corporate power and influence to MAINTAIN that monopoly...........

1000 names who are running someone out of business. Too bad it is not the 20’s. Think of 1000 members of a rival gang trying to run Al Capone out of business. St Valentines Day everyday.
