That was short!

What a canned non-answer from the Google Rep. “We put our users first in our design.” What sort of horse-apples answer is that?

Whoops! Did you say Cruz? Don't get yourself zotted just because you embrace free expression! As all Freepers know, especially now that even George W. Bush is PNG at this forum, sometimes it's better to remain silent.

"...relatively clueless Google rep

I disagree; she knows exactly what she's doing - and so do we.

She's lying through her teeth.

Bunch of G’damn chickenshit liars. This POS, sat there acting like she doesn’t know anything about political bias at Google, when actually she’s one of the man manipulators of users to leftist agitprop garbage.

I stopped using Google long ago, and I don’t miss them.

When I first tried to view that clip it for some reason just played the last few seconds. Try it again and you should be able to watch the full 7 min clip.

“We put our users first in our design.”

Users expect that they are getting an accurate return from their search.

Anything other than that is not putting users first, it's putting Google first.

Thanks.

FYI, the URL you posted has a parameter in it “?time_continue=420” which tells it where to start playing in seconds. So the “420” means “start playing at 420 seconds” which is start playing at the 7 minute mark.

What a canned non-answer from the Google Rep.

**************

Her reluctance to acknowledge even a general awareness of obvious bias and her mechanical responses speak loudly though. Her non-answers were a tacit admission of corporate guilt.

I just watched the entire clip. What a colossal waste of time. One YT commenter, Greg Olsen, wrote “Appears they sent a flunky over to waste Congresses time? :-(”

He is exactly right. What a flunky. Why is a woman who is in charge of user experience and didn’t prepare for the hearing (”I have a day job” - how lame) sent to testify before a Senate Hearing? It’s insulting to Congress that they chose her to appear.

They need to drop the entire might of the Federal government on that nasty company. Google needs to be wiped from the face of the earth. All communications companies that try to manipulate elections need to be destroyed.

Yes, she does no exactly what she' doing but she's not lying.

Notice she didn't deny that Google was trying to program their users, simply that they alway put the users first.
