As the internet has become an increasingly central part of modern life, Big Tech giants such as Facebook, Twitter and Google have increasingly sought to become the gatekeepers of the internet and political discourse. Without any sort of democratic mandate, these companies have appointed themselves the arbiters of acceptable thought, discussion and searches online.
These companies’ pervasive command of the internet — and blatant desire to control how we interact with it — is a direct threat to a free society. And arguably the worst offender is Google.
Google claims to value free expression and a free and open internet, but there is overwhelming evidence that the Big Tech giant wants the internet to be free and open only to political and social ideas of which it approves.

Any search engine should show you what you seek, not what it wants you to see.

An opinion piece from Trump’s Digital campaign manager is supposed to convince me that internet searches are biased?

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
What bit of information from Google is actually biased? Or is anything we look up using Google now dismissible against Trump?

Google is a search engine at the end of the day and the argument that someone can be politically biased against someone for searching for information on there frankly is pretty flimsy IMO.

Particularly given the apparent anti Trump sentiment, coupled with his favouring such as the biased Fox News, people will search for alternatives, thus pushing other news providers up the search rankings.
Fake news claims beget Fact Checkers.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
I thought Google flagged up what was most popular in the online offerings?

BREAKING: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein summoned to White House, has verbally resigned according to reports. This immediately puts implications on Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigations in doubt. Source Associated Press.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
Democrats are probably praying Mueller gets fired before the mid terms
