Trump administration ‘taking a look’ at regulating Google to protect free speech freedoms

17

Google brought this on themselves. So totalitarian are they in suppressing our First Amendment rights and freedoms, it will take the government to restore our freedoms. I hope these protections will extend beyond Google, to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Adsense, etc.

96 Percent of Google Search Results for ‘Trump’ News Are from Liberal Media Outlets

Kudlow: Trump administration ‘taking a look’ at regulating Google

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Tuesday said that the administration is “taking a look” at potentially regulating Google, following President Trump’s tweets criticizing the search giant.

Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning that Google search results for “Trump News” showed results for “only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media,” he wrote, referencing prominent news outlet CNN.

“Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out,” Trump’s tweet read.

Kudlow’s comments were in response to being pressed by reporters on if, in light of the president’s comments, the administration is considering imposing regulations on Google.

In his tweets, Trump went on to accuse Google and other tech companies of being biased against conservatives, an increasingly common attack from Republicans.

“Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!” Trump tweeted.

Google shot back at the president’s claims, refuting charges that it is biased against conservatives or any other political groups.

“When users type queries into the Google Search bar, our goal is to make sure they receive the most relevant answers in a matter of seconds,” a Google spokesperson said in a statement.

“Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don’t bias our results toward any political ideology,” the statement continues. “Every year, we issue hundreds of improvements to our algorithms to ensure they surface high-quality content in response to users’ queries. We continually work to improve Google Search and we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.”

Trump joins high-profile Republicans like House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in accusing technology companies of treating conservatives on their platforms unfairly.

With support from McCarthy, the House Energy and Commerce Committee is set to hold a hearing on the matter on Sept. 5, which Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is set to testify.

Dorsey will also testify during the Senate Intelligence Committee’s hearing that day on how foreign governments have run misinformation campaigns on American tech platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google Plus.

YouTube is not as bad as some of the others, although Google still controls it, and it could get there one day.

Google Responds to Trump: ‘No Political Bias in Google Search’

Tech giant Google has denied President Trump’s recent assertions that Google purposefully manipulates search results with a political bias.

When users type queries into the Google Search bar, our goal is to make sure they receive the most relevant answers in a matter of seconds. Search is not used to set a political agenda and we don’t bias our results toward any political ideology. Every year, we issue hundreds of improvements to our algorithms to ensure they surface high-quality content in response to users’ queries. We continually work to improve Google Search and we never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.

Google, FB, and Tw are full of bull. They MUST be regulated- they are bigger than governments and their original missions have been corrupted to act a political censors around the globe. Police dep’ts (Britain, Germany, Norway, and others)
now chase hate speech instead of rape, drug cartels and illegal immigration.
These medias censor many voices and this must be stopped. One way would be if people stopped using them. FB is a 14 year old brat which needs a big haircut. Don’t these organizations need a license???? Hint.

“our goal is to make sure they receive the most relevant answers”

Right…

“Relevant” is the key… all those other things that would have shown up, didn’t because they weren’t “relevant”… wink wink…

I once had a white exec of a company where I worked tell me they only hire the most qualified people… of course all those people at the top happen to be white… he also said different ethnicities had people with different skills citing blacks in sports and Asians in math and engineering hence, the natural conclusion, whites in top management.

View point discrimination is like racism. Google’s content is ideologically purified content. It is determined by what is “relevant” and determined by those best qualified to make such determinations… the Left.
