A researcher who has spent more than half a decade monitoring Googles influence said he believes the tech giant will actively interfere in the 2020 elections. On Aug. 6, President Donald Trump said his administration is watching Google very closely.
Dr. Robert Epstein, senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, told The Epoch Times that Google has access to a number of powerful manipulation methods mostly through ephemeral experiences that can shift votes.
Online ephemeral experiences are brief moments where information is generated instantaneously, such as search suggestions. They are not stored anywhere and cant be tracked. Leaked internal emails from Google in 2018 found employees specifically discussing launching ephemeral experiences to counter Trumps then-travel ban, The Wall Street Journal reported.
In his congressional testimony in July, Epstein noted that if all major technology companies came together to support the same candidate in 2020which he said was likelythey could shift 15 million votes without leaving a paper trail. Epstein has discovered a dozen methods Google uses to manipulate public opinion or votes, including search engine manipulation effect and search suggestion effects.
Google will actively interfere in the 2020 elections, Epstein said. Theyll actively interfere in their lobbying efforts, theyll actively interfere with their political donations, and theyll actively interfere using the online methods of manipulation that Ive studied and probably other methods that I havent yet discovered.
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, donated $4.7 million to Democratic congressional candidates in 2018, according to FEC records. To Republican candidates, it donated $754,911.
In 2016, Epstein conducted a secret monitoring project that showed Google hid negative auto-complete search results for Hillary Clinton months before the election. His peer-reviewed research found Googles algorithms can easily shift 20 percent or more of votes among voters..

they do it every day by burying conservative stories.
The ends justify the means.
There are plenty of Google alternatives. I recently discovered https://yippy.com and love it. No cookies, no tracking, fair results, cool functionality not found on other search engines.
Good luck with that leftist morons
He has done some great work proving this reality. His testimony was very open with exposing what is going on.
Leaked video from a Google conference held in the wake of the 2016 Presidential Election shows the company's co-founder comparing Trump voters to 'fascists'. The footage, obtained by Breitbart, also shows the company's executives vowing to halt the rise of populism and urging employees to console one another after the election result. The damaging video pours further doubt onto Google's claims of political impartiality just a few days after it was accused of trying to boost Latino voter turnout to help Hillary Clinton.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin can be seen on stage in front of hundreds of employees saying he was 'deeply offended' by Trump's election and that it 'conflicts with many of Google's values.' (Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...

Not anymore.
In a previous appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight Epstein revealed that Google can take a 50-50 split among undecided voters and change it into a 90-10 split with no one knowing they had been manipulated and without leaving a paper trail It has to do with their search suggestions.
On his latest appearance Dr. Epstein revealed that just one Google shift in search results on Election Day 2018 shifted from 800,000 to 4.6 million votes to Democratic candidates. This follows the shocking Breitbart exposé by Allum Bokhari published Thursday that proves Google has been manipulating search results. Of course the Big Tech companies have been targeting only conservative websites and publications since the 2016 election. Via Tucker Carlson Tonight: (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

Sundar Pichai, Google CEO, presides over a high tech anti-America company, spewing agit-prop bent on destroying our democratic process.
He thumbed his nose at America, earlier refusing to testify over this issue before the US Congress preferring to fly back to India, his homeland..
Pichai is disloyal to the American system of justice, the American electoral system, and the US Constitution.
======================================
ACTION NOW:
<><> these tech companies should be broken up using existing anti-trust laws which are more than adequate for the task,
<><> they should be categorized as any other 1st Amendment platform, not an open forum,
<><> they should lose their Section 230 liability protections under the Communications Decency Act,
<><> all banned, suspended, shadow banned, or demonized conservatives should sue the panties off these weak-titted SJ fascists.

POINTS TO PONDER ---Google secretly developed a Chinese search app for Android devices
specifically designed to find and remove content Chinas authoritarian government does not like.
Items Red China finds most troubling:
<><> political dissent,
<><> free speech,
<><> democracy,
<><> human rights,
<><> peaceful protest.
Just a conincdence (smirk) that Google had already designed that very same search app for Democrats.
Communist China and Democrats on the same wave-length----thanks to Google.
This is too easy for the Democrats. Embarrassingly easy. They are playing the game as best they can. Republicans don't even know they are up to bat. Or how often they have already struck out. (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...

The impact of Google's conservative blacklisting can hardly be overstated because of how bad this looks for a company that has vociferously denied rigging its products against conservatives. Google is already reeling and panicking, magnified by the disturbing quality of its first response to the leak.....
Exclusive: How The Word ‘Family’ Triggered A Meltdown At Google
Daily Caller ^ | January 17, 2019 | Peter Hasson / FR Posted on 1/17/2019, 10:22:50 AM by EdnaMode
A Google executive sparked a fierce backlash from employees by using the word family in a weekly, company-wide presentation, according to internal documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. Many Google employees became angry that the term was used while discussing a product aimed at children, because it implied that families have children, the documents show. The backlash grew large enough that a Google vice president addressed the controversy and solicited feedback on how the company could become more inclusive.
TheDCNF received the documents from a source who insisted upon anonymity in order to share them. One employee stormed out of the March 2017 presentation after a presenter continued to show (awesome) Unicorn product features which continually use the word family as a synonym for household with children,’ he explained in an internal thread. That employee posted an extended rant, which was well-received by his colleagues, on why linking families to children is offensive, inappropriate, homophobic, and wrong.
He wrote: This is a diminishing and disrespectful way to speak. If you mean children, say children; we have a perfectly good word for it. Family friendly used as a synonym for kid friendly means, to me, you and yours dont count as a family unless you have children. And while kids may often be less aware of it, there are kids without families too, you know. The use of family as a synonym for with children has a long-standing association with deeply homophobic organizations. This does not mean we should not use the word family to refer to families, but it mean we must doggedly insist that family does not imply children.
Even the sense, suitable for the whole family, which you might think is unobjectionable, is totally wrong too. It only works if we have advance shared conception of what the whole family is, and that is almost always used to mean a household with two adults, of opposite sex, in a romantic/sexual relationship, with two or more of their own children. If you mean that as a synonym for suitable for all people stop and notice the extraordinary unlikelihood of such a thought! So suitable for the whole family doesnt mean all people, it means all people in families, which either means that all those other people arent in families, or something even worse. Use the word family to mean a loving assemblage of people who may or may not live together and may or may not include people of any particular age. STOP using it to mean children. Its offensive, inappropriate, homophobic, and wrong.
Roughly 100 other Google employees upvoted the post, signaling their agreement. Other Google employees also echoed their displeasure with the term. Thanks for writing this. So much yes, one wrote.
Using the word family in this sense bothers me too, wrote another employee, who felt excluded by the term because she was neither married nor a parent. It smacks of the family values agenda by the right wing, which is absolutely homophobic by its very definition, she wrote, adding: [I]ts important that we fix our charged language when we become aware of how exclusionary it actually is. As a straight person in a relationship, I find the term family offensive because it excludes me and my boyfriend, having no children of our own.
My family consists of me and several other trans feminine folks, some of whom Im dating. Were all supportive of each other and eventually aspire to live together. Just because we arent a heterosexual couple with 2.5 kids, a white picket fence, and a dog doesnt mean were not a family, another employee added in agreement.
Another employee wrote that using family to mean people with kids is also annoying to me as a straight-cis-woman who doesnt have or want kids. My husband, my parents, and my pets are my family.
Google vice president Pavni Diwanji joined the conversation and acknowledged that use of the term family had sparked concerns. Hi everyone, I realize what we said at tgif might have caused concerns in the way we talked about families. There are families without kids too, and also we needed to be more conscientious about the fact that there is a diverse makeup of parents and families, Dwiwanji wrote.
Please help us get to a better state. Teach us how to talk about it in inclusive way, if you feel like we are not doing it well. As a team we have very inclusive culture, and want to do right in this area. I am adding my team here so we can have open conversation, Dwiwanji concluded.
Google did not return a request for comment on the controversy, which is yet another example of left-wing Google employees bringing their politics to work with them. TheDCNF previously reported that Google employees had internal debates about whether to suppress right-of-center media outlets, including The Daily Caller and Breitbart, in the companys search function. That conversation, too, included a Google vice president: David Besbris.
Besbris and other participants in that conversation advocated providing contextual information about media sources in search results, and the company later did so with a short-lived fact check feature at the end of 2017.
Not only did the fact-check feature target conservative outlets almost exclusively, it was also blatantly wrong. Googles fact check repeatedly attributed false claims to those outlets, even though they demonstrably never made those claims.
Google pulled the faulty fact-check program in January 2018, crediting TheDCNFs investigation for the decision.

Goolag surely has a/some backdoor vulnerabilities.
Be a real shame if some ‘worms’ got in and destroyed the whole seditious outfit . . .
They wont have to if he inks red flag laws. Just the fact th hat he supports infringement is enough to keep me away.

Buying into the MSM propaganda. Good, Good. Let the fake news flow through you!
ACTION PING
I'd advise him to right now start talking about how important it is for citizens to have safe elections in which they can feel confident that they will not be disenfranchised by those who shouldn't be voting. I would advise him to announce a team of cyber specialists, and an election ‘Cybersecurity Czar’, to ensure that no one from inside or outside our nation interferes with the vote. I would also advise him to start a confidential whistleblower ‘hotline’/reporting mechanism that would allow people to report violations and concerns.
For starters.
They interfered in the last election. I noticed a massive spike in anti conservative media leading into the election, it was nearly comical.
I’ve had quite enough of Goolag(TM).
Your tagline applies.
Did he not say he supports it? Lol.. if he didnt then why is there proof he does?
