Google Biased search results trying to manipulate democracy.

[Bill90]

Hey guys, have you ever noticed how biased Google can be? I was recently doing some searches and was shocked by what I found. When I started typing "President Donald," I was getting bizarre suggestions like "President Donald Duck" but not a single suggestion for "President Donald Trump." It doesn't stop there. When I did manage to search for President Trump, the news section was completely devoid of any news about him and instead filled with stories about Kamala Harris. And here's the kicker—when I typed "President K," the first suggestion was President Kennedy, but the second was President Kamala Harris, like seriously? This kind of manipulation is outrageous. We need to talk about how these tech giants like Google are meddling with our elections and what we can do about it. Thoughts?

You're absolutely right, OP. This manipulation is beyond obvious. They're not even trying to hide it anymore. I've seen similar results myself, and it's infuriating! The fact that a search engine can shape public perception by controlling what information is easily accessible is downright dangerous. I think it's high time we consider breaking up these tech monopolies starting with GOOGLE!. They have too much power over our information flow, and it's clear they're using it to push their own agendas.

I couldn't agree more. This level of bias is completely unacceptable! Its been said time and time again... it feels like we're living in Orwell's 1984. It's not just about the elections, this kind of control extends into every aspect of our lives. They decide what we see, what we read, and ultimately, what we think. It's terrifying. We definitely need more regulation to ensure these companies are operating fairly. Maybe some kind of oversight committee that monitors their algorithms and search results? I know it's not a perfect solution, but something's gotta give.

@Joe1993 absolutely! The idea of an oversight committee sounds like a good start. I mean, how did we get to a point where private companies have this much unchecked power? This isn't just about politics—it's about democracy itself. If you control the flow of information, you control the people. And guess what? It's not just in America; this is happening worldwide. I think we need to push for transparency in how search results are generated. Maybe even open-source algorithms? What do you all think about that?

@Jack transparency is key, but let's be real—these companies will fight tooth and nail to keep their algorithms secret. They claim it's for competitive reasons, but we all know it's really about maintaining control. I think a more aggressive approach might be necessary. Maybe we need to bring in anti-trust laws and break them up, similar to what was done with Standard Oil back in the day. It's not going to be easy, but we need to take back control.

@Mathew I'm actually a lawyer, and I've studied anti-trust laws extensively. You're right; breaking up these tech giants won't be easy, but it is possible. The government just needs the will to act. One of the biggest challenges will be proving that these companies have a monopoly and that they are using it to manipulate information and stifle competition. Public pressure is crucial here. If enough people get angry and demand change, the politicians will have to listen.

Thanks for the legal insight. I think we're all on the same page here. Public pressure is key, but we also need to educate people about what's going on. So many folks just take search results at face value without questioning the bias behind them. We need to spread awareness through grassroots campaigns, social media—you name it. Once people understand the stakes, they'll be more likely to join the fight.

Well, if you thought their search bias was bad enough, hold up, 'cause their AI is on a whole new level of shady.

We need to completely boycott Google products. I'm talking about all their shit—search engine, youtube, email, maps, everything. Google thrives on our dependence. By cutting them off, we hit them where it hurts. I know it sounds extreme, but desperate times call for desperate measures. We gotta make our voices heard loud and clear: enough is enough. If we don't stand up now, we're basically handing over our freedom on a silver platter. 🥴

Too much is at stake. If we let Google continue unchecked, we risk losing the very essence of democracy. They bribe politicians left and right, so don't expect any help from those sellouts. It's on us to take a stand. If we don't, we'll end up in a world where a few tech oligarchs control everything we see, hear, and believe. Fuck dat!
