Google is regulating it's traffic to suppress conservative speech, and to promote liberal speech. Their search results routinely reflect their own preferred biases, and not a objective search result that people think they are getting.
Google is becoming a serious threat, and other communications companies are becoming threats as well, although lesser threats than Google.
I see the writing on the wall also, but there is a difference between online tech companies like Facebook or Goggle and the telecommunications companies or ISP’s having these liberties.
One you can choose not to visit or use, the other most do not have much choice because they are locked into contract to let them do as they please just to also have phone service. You have to agree to the contract or you can’t even get phone service.
The power to censor or control use should never have been handed to telecommunications or Internet Service Providers. They should just be legal to provide a door to the internet or not without the power to control where in the room you go after you go through the door.
It’s like going to a restaurant and having the service provider dictate what you can or cannot have from the menu. You could get up and go to another restaurant, but in this case they will all be doing the same thing. So everyone is stuck with this abusive unfair business practice against your FREE CHOICE.
The biggest unsolved problem is shadow banning.

It is quite obvious that Google hires libs and they hate conservatives, but it is very difficult to quantify. The bias tests developed by this expert: http://www.benedelman.org/hardcoding/ are now broken. They can be easily broken by google and replaced with other algorithmic biases. Worse, the regulators will not hire neutral experts but defer to political hacks. You can bet your browser that any imagined bias against any liberal or leftist site will be litigated. Worse still, the bureaucracy is full of liberals who cannot be fired.
Regulation will not solve our problems, and in the long riun it will make them worse with Google, Facebook and other giants using their public utility status to cement their monopolies.
