This is part of a very large reasoning behind Trump using Twitter.

That's right.

I didn't say they were willing to share their proprietary heuristic formulae or specific algorithms.

If you think they are doing something underhand, prove it.

I never implied nor said they changed the algo to favor Hillary. What I did say was if they were doing that they need to let their users know it. You can't have public policy of suggesting your algo is blind if it's being adjusted to favor particular sites.

So if you don't know whether Google is guilty of misrepresentation or not, OK. That's all I wanted to know.

Fake news? They did this throughout the whole campaign. At one point there were no results for Trump even running for President. I did the search! All I got back was Hillary and Bernie results.

That was the day I switched to Bing.

Sums up the Left in a nutshell.

There are law and regulations where businesses can't misrepresent information with or about their product.

In today's connected world, it's becoming easier for the elites to manipulate information than ever before.

I've never had my postings removed by any website until this election. Luckily the people came out and took back their country.

Had Hillary got elected, she will try to change the voting system and take those controls away from the citizens of the country and give it to her minions. Then it would be all over for America and the world, we'll be forever competing for the bottom and against people who have nothing to lose trying to get into this country.

It's just amazing the liberals have so much access to information today yet failed to see the causality of their grief.
