Video interview by Sen Cruz of Dr. Robert Epstein.
Break them up. Their power to manipulate the vote is beyond imagination. Google is far more powerful than Russia and just as dangerous.
They didn't turn on the juice as hard as they could in 2016 because they believed Hillary was an easy win.
Zuckerberg in a quick experiment in 2010 got 360,000 votes by issuing a "Go Vote" reminder on election day.
The expert believes in 2016 the "rock bottom minimum" is 2.6 MM manipulated votes, but could be as high as 10.4 MM votes. Search engine effect, search suggestion effect, answer bot effect, and others are all very powerful and they are not competitive, they are not available to the other side - Google and the Democrats own this exclusively.
In 2018 - they turned more on, and the Republicans lost Congress.
Now, bar the door in 2020 because they are going to melt the internet to get Trump. Unless their efforts are thwarted, somehow.
This is real meddling in the the elections, and puts the lie to Hillary's popular vote claim. The fix is in. The election is rigged.
It’s really very sad that people can be manipulated so easily.
Break em up.
So many fascist criminals...so little time. Break-up these “monopolies”.
And she laments she won by 2.3 million, which means at the very least she lost by 300k.
China controls Google.
“They didn’t turn on the juice as hard as they could in 2016 because they believed Hillary was an easy win.“
This is the truth. They will be going full out in 20. 18 was the prototype and they stole many important down ballot elections to set up the theft of 20. This worries me more than any of hapless idiot running for the Rat nomination.
I suppose if you have a malleable audience, you can “manipulate” them, but as much as I despise the bias in media (be it MSM or alternative) its not clear to me how one form or another of ‘get out the vote’ campaign is being more manipulative than any other.
What can you really hang on Google for this? Legally I mean.
In kind campaign contributions which go unreported.
This has to be stopped, monopolies are usually to the public’s detriment. Here it is destroying democracy.
bkmk
That makes perfect sense to me. But there is also the first amendment, so I guess your saying its the 'how to report it' that's the problem?
I usually think of monopolies in terms of economics, not politics. This is not my area of expertise at all, so I don't know what if any existing law applies, but busting up a company for monopoly of opinion when I believe a company counts as an individual for political speech, may require new law????
I already think there are too many laws on the books so I am struggling with how to handle this. I don't think you can bust up a company just because the group think is against your own values. We are allowed to disagree. How do we define when it becomes political "campaigning?" subject to all the reporting of the FEC. I guess that's the question I am asking.
I agree break them up.
But I have a problem with the claim that there were 2.6M people who didn’t know enough about Hellary or Trump to decide how to vote!
Its just another Hellary excuse trying to be a legitimate reason!
The reason, the legitimate reasons she lost.
1. She stank as a candidate!
2. People dislike her.
Everything else is an excuse!
When Democrats do this it is called smart Politicking.
When Republicans do it is called treasonous.
I just remember in 2008, and 2012 all the articles out about how Obama’s team was using technologies to get out the vote how advanced their plan was compared to the Republicans. And then I saw 15 minutes of the documentary on Netflix about Cambridge Analytica.
It just pissed me off.
Remember the trust busting and Standard Oil. Businessmen are not free-market idealists, they are really monopolists who seek to destroy the competition, and then screw the consumer. Our system works while you have competition, but once it is eliminated, price rises, and product quality deteriorates - and consumer choice is thrown out the window. (It approaches living in a communist state, where news and consumer goods all come from the same nasty place.)
Google has run newspapers out of business, and has become the unelected backbone of the internet.
They spy on every aspect of your life and keep files and sell data, possibly to foreign entities. They block publications like Forbes, if they seek to write negative articles about Google. Living, breathing, Soviet censorship!
Every marketing executive will tell you that you can bury a dead body on page 2 of a Google search because no one ever goes there. In the daily consumer searches, Google lists their companies first, and destroys the competition, much like John D Rockefeller did to smaller independent oil companies. JDR would offer to buy the company and when they refused he would prevent them from buying containers to move their oil, or block market access, and choke them out of business. Google is doing that. Google has paid huge fines in Europe.
The power of computers has accelerated this problem. Google is the government that no one has elected, they control what you see and hear, and can heavily influence what you think. They can block any point of view which can influence your point of view. Now this is done a million times a second, 24 hours a day. It is done by Big Tech, who are very left leaning California liberals, who hate conservatives and Republicans, and will do anything in their power to diminish their opinions and arguments. It is not so much anymore a question of finding an alternative newspaper to read like in the 90’s. It is far more intrusive and insidious than that. They are in the search engine, they are in the “fresh” lists that you think you are reading to get an independent point of view. But they have blacklists that bar many conservative opinions and articles.
We are living in Communist China - and they openly control their internet, but in a much creepier fashion, our censorship control is unseen. What you think you read, is what they want you to read, and they thrown millions of hazards in the way before you can find the truth.
They are aligned heavily with the Democrat Party, and will do everything in their power to advance a leftist ideology. That kind of monopoly control cannot be tolerated. Once the Democrats take power, they will entrench these leftist Big Tech monopolies so that they can never be undone. They will be mainlining their version of Pravda to every citizen in the country. Where the internet was once a symbol of freedom, it will become a tool of oppression.
Break them up, and scatter them to the wind.
Which is why public schools are failures.
I hear you and I share the concerns. I ask again out of ignorance, what law is to be used to break them up? Would like to hear from any FReeper attorney types on this.
Explains the 2018 election for sure.
google and every internet site can selectively identify who are the hard R and hard D and who are the leans and who are the uncommitted. They know who is a sucker for Sally Struthers commercials, or for the National Anthem.
They can send custom messages to each type of voter. It would be easy to divider the populatiion of voters into 4o or 50 groups, each with their own message.
Remember, Vote on Wednesday.
Google = voter fraud.
