 When is Trump going to break these bastards up once and for all?

[El Diablo Blanco]

Trump can’t fuck with them. They can make all internet searches for Trump disappear.  They can make all searches for Trump come up with Elizabeth Warren.  They can manipulate the election far worst than Facebook ever could.

I don't understand how this could be considered legal.  Neither doctors, nor patients were notified and given the choice to opt-out.

Fuck Google.

Everyone says fuck Google, but is anyone using Lycos?

There is nothing you can really do to hurt Google, but I did stop using them as my search engine.

Yup. Well done.

Has anyone else noticed that google search has gone to shit lately.

If you search for something niche, like for example bodybuilding related: dbol kick in time, the search results are all commercial web sites with useless info. Before, the results would return bodybuilding and steroid forums and blogs. I remember many years ago you could make google only search on discussion forums, but then they removed that feature. But even so, the search results would still have forums in it. Now hardly any search results have forums, unless you add extra search terms to try guide google to give more results from forums. It's like google is trying to kill forums once and for good.

It seems google doesn't want you to get information and opinions from random individuals on the internet, only from commercial companies.

I've been trying duckduckgo search engine recently, it's search results are more like how google used to be, and they don't collect your data.

Truly protecting your own privacy is an illusion but I'm using duckduckgo for now.  I hope that eventually the law catches up to these giant tech companies and they get put in check.

You're right in a sense. Stop using their search engine but that is just one part of Google. Do you have an android phone? If not, then you have Apple which I'm not sure is any better. Unless you're a Luddite you're are in some ways part of either the Google or Apple ecosystem.

Amazon, Google, Apple... it's like they're the Borg. "Resistance is futile."

[FitnessFrenzy]

BUT Google posts a veritable plethora of libtards on its "Talks at Google" YouTube channel. So they must be a good corporation?

Google are vile scum, like Basile would say. They have a de facto monopoly for search online and they have shitty to non existing customer service. Shitty company that should be broken up into smaller units.

Goggle is dangerous. They manipulate your searches concerning politics. They are trying to guide the masses.

 If they are collecting health data you can bet it's so they know who to advertise to.  Need a shoulder operation and you will find advertisements for orthopedic surgeons.  Have high blood pressure? You will see ads for blood pressure medication.

All of Alphabet (the umbrella corporation for Google and Youtube) is doing this.  Youtube now puts (trusted news sources ) like CNN at the top of their searches to keep searchers from seeing conservative voices.  If you search Mark Dice you won't get any of his videos until several pages into the search.  Alphabet is a publicly traded company so it should be treated like any other utility company or it should be broken up.

They feel entitled to do that.  They feel that it's their responsibility to curate and control information.  If they can influence an election and help someone win (or keep someone from winning) they think that is perfectly acceptable because in their sick minds........it's for our own good.  Kind of like how entrenched diplomats think that they should be the ones making policy instead of Donald Trump who was elected by the people.

Google is now the propaganda, media and spy  arm of the Democratic party. Trump merely interrupted their complete integration into the federal government.

[SOMEPARTS]

Secretly? Does anybody really think anything is private? Google and Amzn cloud host like 80% of the world's information.

[rocket]

Good.

I hope they can do something with it.

There is huge potential in data to find new ways to keep people alive for longer.

 And Amazon is looking to break into the healthcare industry:

 Anyone who sees this and doesn't feel a tad concerned should probably check their pulse.
