Read it. It's long. It's pretty damning evidence in here, including screen shots of emails, text messages, IMs, etc, not just from lower level employees, but from Directors and Managers alike:

Thankfully we have choices alternative to Google.

I read a good portion of it. You cannot discriminate based on racial or gender basis and it sounds like Google may have gone too far with their "diversity" programs to the point of discrimination against white and asian males....which of course is the people who built the company.

As far as alternatives, any good ones? I think Google overall is a top company based on their products and services.

Bing is pretty good (and they have great images), and I don't mind the incentives/free money - I use it as my first search engine. That said, Google is the best at what they do, and I do default to it once in a while.

Yeah I used to use Bing as I have family working there but found Google to be a bit better.

I'm not the type that normally makes decisions on products and services based on politics....I want the best whoever is providing that.

I use DuckDuckGo or iXQuick. They just allow you to hide behind them - but AFAIK, the results are google results.

I also use hooktube when I can instead of youtube.

I don't like some of the things that google does with your search history.

I'm not actually suggesting you use Bing because of politics. It has legitimate reasons to be used (being "paid" to search is a pretty good one) - which is why I use it. I do use Google, too.

All "diversity" efforts depend on illegal discrimination.

Default It's about time! Conservative male sues Google

James Damore sues Google, claims tech giant discriminates against white conservative men | Fox News

well, it's about damn time. I've seen this going on for years all over the internet....not to mention, closing someone's opinion down by either calling them names, or by simply deleting the opinions of conservatives.

If I'd have been that couple who refused to bake a cake for someone whose race, religion or whatever, I didn't approve of, I'd have counter sued those people.

This country has become way too politically correct....the left seems to be able to say anything they want, no matter how cruel or horrible, but when the right comes back with anything, they are shut down....
enough is enough.

I see it on the news constantly....b/c they are owned by liberal money.

It's got to stop.

Google, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, MSN, etc all censor conservative views. They get away with it because they are private companies run by far Left zealots.
