An under cover video shows tech tyrant Google talking about how it engages in social engineering. I bought Google before it became evil. It would be a bad financial decision but I might just go ahead and sell it soon. I don’t want to be a part of their evil.

She just argued the reason for breaking up google. These idiots forgot that it was the voter that elected Trump. How do they think it is their responsibility to interfere in our political process. Get big corporations out of our politics and stop trying to control and censor us!!

This stuff is nothing new. The tech industry has always been left. Why is it this surprising? It won't be long until social media purges project Veritas off of social media.

I didn't listen to the convo but unless more evidence is presented, her explanation that she was referring to the wide spread social media manipulation that occurred seems at least plausible. Personally I think the far more damning tidbit is:

Quote:
A document leaked by the alleged insider contained language about addressing 'unjust or prejudicial treatment,' saying that even when search results are factually accurate, 'it may be desirable to consider how we might help society reach a more fair and equitable state, via either product intervention or broader corporate social responsibility efforts.'
Google Search (along with YouTube Search) is effectively a monopoly, that they intentionally embed these types of biases in the algos is the more chilling revelation. All the more so that there is a strong notion among many that their actions are not just warranted but expected.

And people wonder why the liberal media and now the tech industry is dangerous because they control and manipulate public opinion.

Hating Trump doesn't automatically make someone part of the left. John McCain hated Trump, is he now considered a leftist?

Attempting to keep foreign influence and outright propaganda of their platform is "left wing"? Or are you stating that's the only way Republicans can win?
