I don’t use Google and don’t comment on Fox Snooze.

Problem solved.

Fair enough, but your comment seems to miss the point.

Can you say with certainty that all of the services you DO use on the internet are not feeding data to Google? Discovering that Google was involved in Fox News comments was a surprise to me. Seeing the kind of processing they are doing on the comments is troubling given their bias. At the end of the day, it underscores the recent alarm over big tech bias.

I don’t use Google any more either - I use duckduckgo.com. I was not aware that Google could be potentially impacting Fox News comments. Where else are they exerting influence? When they exert that influence, is there a bias?

Finally - and most importantly - this is about the future. Right now they are building a system with data we are unwittingly providing to later (potentially) use against us. As a technologist, I see a significant threat on the horizon. It’s Big Brother territory.
