Absolutely! Back in the day they (the government) broke up the phone companies, could they do the same with this companies? All 4 of them scare the cr** out of me.

The future will be anti conservative. When you search for Reagan, search engines will put up "Reagan spread AIDS", when you search for Jesus you will get Jesus is not real".

Your posts will be hidden. Your accounts will be banned...

Where do you land if you google for When you search for Reagan, search engines will put up "Reagan spread AIDS", when you search for Jesus you will get Jesus is not real" ??

I was talking about the autocomplete feature. i should have been more specific. Although finding results for "Jesus" on my computer will bring up first page results of the wife of Jesus, Jesus would vote for Bernie, etc. ...

Go to google and slowly type in "miserable failure". See what is offered in the "auto complete" box directly below.

They will be more shameless in the coming years as the company's ranks become filled with precious little snowflakes of the "everybody gets a trophy generation" who act as 24/7 evangelistic activist leftists.

Try empty suit and see who comes up top left in the result set.

Google wins if it reflect's what's really going on at the moment. Not what should be going on, what's really going on.

Go to google and slowly type in "miserable failure". See what is offered in the "auto complete" box directly below.

Ok ...

Not sure what it proves ... iron reagan is some rock wannabe. Why would I care?

The fourth hit, 'miserable failure google bomb' is more interesting. It brings to mind the substance santorum, a product conjured up by google-bombing, and, thus, the imperfection of search algorithms, put up against hacker ingenuity. The hackers are a bug. Google must fix their bugs. Thus, santorum should bring up the senator, not the substance, which it almost does (ignoring the sidebar), but didn't for the longest time!

But the point is, santorum the substance was a bug, the product of a hack. It decreased the value of Alphabet. Therefore, it must be fixed! That is capitalism!
