Almost all of the senators supposed to be holding Big Tech accountable are bankrolled by Google
11 of the 12 senators at this week's subcommittee hearing are accepting cash from Google.
Google is horrific. It's a sad irony that we're looking at Russia for reliable search engines. To all you smart people out there... how hard would it be to create a reliable search engine that gives good results and dosen't sell you out?

Google censors shopping searches for Kyle Rittenhouse t-shirts
A search in the shopping tab shows zero results.
By Cindy Harper
The phrase “Kyle Rittenhouse shirt” has joined Google Search’s list of banned shopping search terms – this is despite the fact Rittenhouse was found not guilty of all charges filed against him.
On the “Shopping” tab of Google Search, “Kyle Rittenhouse shirt” does not bring back any results. The results page displays a message stating: “Your search – Kyle Rittenhouse shirt – did not match any shopping results.”
Since Kittenhouse was acquitted of all charges, which included first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree intentional homicide, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide, the sales of shirts showing support for Kyle Rittenhouse and self-defense have sky-rocketed. ...
As noted by The Blaze: “Google has no issues selling shirts with serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer, the cannibal sex offender who killed at least 17 men in Wisconsin, John Wayne Gacy, who was convicted of murdering at least 33 young men and boys, and Ted Bundy, who raped and murdered at least 20 young women and girls.
“On Google shopping, you can purchase clothes featuring Che Guevara, a homophobic and racist Marxist revolutionary; Pol Pot, leader of the Marxist Khmer Rouge that killed more than 1.7 million people through work, starvation, and torture in four years; Joseph Stalin, the Russian communist despot believed to have killed 20 million; and Chairman Mao, the Chinese communist tyrant that killed 45 million in four years.”
“Kyle Rittenhouse shirt” has only been banned on the shopping tab.

@richwicks already mentioned, it’s not difficult and does not need lots of money either. It’s simply environment around doesn’t allow to do it and run sustainably.

How Google manipulated "Mass formation psychosis" search results after the Malone interview
Wow. Mass formation in action. Google caught red-handed manipulating the narrative.
But instead of linking to the video of Dr. Malone, any of the stories that dive into the phenomenon, or even reaction videos that expand on the concept, Google decided to promote some random dude’s minute-and-a-half video “debunking” it when people search them for “mass formation psychosis.”
Google has now made this random guy’s video attacking Dr Malone on Mass Formation Psychosis the top result when you search for it
On DuckDuck it comes right up at the top pic.twitter.com/5uVRs100KB

Class action lawsuit says Google pays Apple to stay out of the search engine market
The case focuses on the search business, citing reports that emerged last year of Google paying Apple as much as $15 billion in order to remain the default search engine on Apple’s Safari browser on all devices.
Not only that, but the filing further claims that Apple agreed not to develop its own search engine, as part of a non-compete deal it has with Google.
According to the plaintiffs, the non-compete here also means – no competition, as smaller players are unable to properly compete in the search market; another way in which competition is undermined by Apple and Google is by acquisition of existing or potential smaller competitors.
Meanwhile the cartel-like nature of this alleged Big Tech arrangement means the cost of advertising is higher than it ought to be, since the deal creates an anti-competitive environment.
I'd like for Pfizer, Moderna, et al to be disbanded, the executives imprisoned or executed for murder and conspiracy to commit murder, the assets sold off, and the proceeds given as compensation to the families of their many victims.
Ok @googlenest you’ve gone too far. Since you bought Nest the product has deteriorated but I was already bought in so I accepted it. Now you feel it’s your place to unilaterally decrease my temp settings? IN A CHICAGO WINTER?? Replacing your (not really “my”) thermostats today.

New bipartisan bill aims to break up Google’s ad dominance
The bill is gaining support.
Four attorneys general have sued Google for its deceptive practices in collecting location data from the public.
The separate lawsuits allege that Google continued to track location data of its users even after they had disabled location tracking.
Google’s misleading claims to users regarding privacy protections available in their account settings have been ongoing since at least 2014.
The attorney general for the District of Columbia launched an investigation into Google after a 2018 AP News report revealed Google was tracking people’s movements even when they’d opted out of such tracking.
The suits allege that Google’s products are designed to pressure users to allow location tracking “inadvertently or out of frustration,” in violation of state consumer protection laws.
