WMAL Mornings On The Mall just had a brief interview with James O’Keefe.
He said more insiders are coming forward since the video was released.
George Orwell barely scratched the surface.
So, what is Congress going to do about it? Nothing but pay more to Google to sway the vote.
I’ve watched “The Circle”. I think it’s an important movie to see so that people understand how the tech giants like Google and Facebook have sooo much information on each one of us, and how much they do control. Time to break them up.
Some people are unaware of how fascism actually worked in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. It was collusion between Industry and Socialist governments.
Both Industry and Government worked to keep government power in the hands of socialists.
I like how you think, but I was thinking more like a billion. We need to lash them with a whip. It needs to hurt, and hurt as badly as we can possibly make it hurt.
If a billion isn't enough to get their attention, keep upping the pain until they will either submit or die.
And it wouldn't bother me if they died. Whomever takes over their assets would be assured to not make the same mistake Google has made in attempting to manipulate elections by controlling American speech.
Google is NOT a private Corporation.
Google owns patents. Those patents prevent free private Corporations and individuals from producing free speech products.
A private corporation owns no privilege of government monopoly.
People are so uninformed. People are dumb as a rock.
Censorship works.
So Google is worse than the Russians.
More talk, no action.

“George Orwell barely scratched the surface.”
Agree. Orwell only had the soviet socialists to use as model. Doubt he considered the voluntary submission, abrogation of personal privacy or rights the “bent-web” has provided.

Before we start penalizing companies maybe we should pass a law making their behavior illegal?
It isn't now.
Remember the “Arab Spring”?
Can’t recall the guys name, but one upper echelon Google executive took a “sabbatical” to set up data base systems to assist in the overthrow of the Egyptian government.
Always suspected it was a field test of the operation which google released in the run-up to the 2016 elections.
And remember Google was a regular visitor, once a week, to the Obama White House.
GO! Louis. One of the voices we can count on in Congress. OR as Nancy says - “take it to the bank.” Every time she’s used that phrase, she’s been wrong!!!
Actually, that's one in the same problem. If your interested, start with trying to figure out the real reason behind why its important for computers to learn to dream. Find out what alphago, deepmind, and deeploco are. "Who" is Eugene Goostman?
Through movies society has been taught to imagine and possibly fear ranks of metal soldiers or to imagine that the danger is from something like a T800 or T1000 hunting them down personally. That does seem far fetched and easy to mock. The threat isn't really from the humanoid form in metalline, its from the mind behind those fictions, the computer on the mothership or from "Skynet".
A computer teaching itself chess is impressive but it only goes so far. Chess or any other game has set rules and "the best move" is only a matter of analyzing possibilities against that set of rules. In the real world there really are no rules that an independent mind must follow.
Many people are concerned about their privacy as an individual vs the deep state but the deep state no longer cares about you. Not as in "not interested in your well being", that you've already known for a long time, more as in "you are no longer relevant". At this point your only value is knowledge and possibly more importantly your experience.
We made a mistake in 2018. We covered only positive news about Pelosi and Schumer, and only negative news about Ryan and McConnell. We realize now that it only emboldened Republicans to vote to keep the Senate.For 2020, we're going to rebias our editorial guidelines to only cover news about Pelosi and Schumer, and not cover any news about McCarthy and McConnell.
This will drive 90% of our viewers to vote for Democrats for Congress.

It is so far as i'm concerned, and I don't care that congress gave them legislation to protect them. They are clearly abusing it in my opinion.
Time to curb stomp them.
“The fact is that unless the tech companies are forcefully confronted, now, in the immediate, our self-governing republic will be over in less than a generation and we will be ruled by a tech oligarchy.”
Those breaking your proposed law should face significant fines. The monetary penalties I propose would be chump change to google or fecebook.
The billion dollar fine proposed by an earlier commenter might get their attention.
That said, that laws forcing social platforms such as fecebook to allow freedom of political speech seem necessary, is a sorry comment on modern times.
