You tend to be among our stronger posters, but this is a whimpering ad hominem concession.
- Epstein's 2015 study focused on establishing a link between biases, and did not focus on any specific search engine:
- Here is another Breitbart has linked:
- And the one discussed in the above video which is an ongoing project:
In the last, they do not attribute malfeasance to Google, and the bias was found across all search engines (four major tested) suggesting it isn't unique to leadership, and probably has a separate cause; such as an imbalance in partisan tilts of media covering the election which are the search results generated). this is the proposed solution:
I find that far, far, far more palatable than the Orwellian, Big Brother "solution" suggested in that Breitbart video saying Trump should involve the state in directing the tech companies how to generate search results. That's a recipe for disaster, far greater "establishment" corruption, when the state is acutely preoccupied with political interests, and it isn't REMOTELY conservative. Conservatives need to build and start using their own tech companies if they don't like those who are dominating now.
Otherwise, you've just opened the door to stifling any corporation from seeking to influence a particular outcome. Money can no longer be construed as "speech".
