/----/ "But would you want me a Trump supporter controlling a search engine on the internet?"But would you want me a Trump supporter controlling a search engine on the internet?I would in the interest of public safety. They go dirty we get dirtier hit them hard and oftenYes or no.
Under the current laws, corporations cannot directly contribute to a candidate however individuals in the corporation can contribute to the candidate they like.
It is a free speech issue that allows individuals to make a choice. Whether one contributes to a candidate or not, doesn’t mean they are not without bias.
If we did, then we wouldn't censor them, in fact, there are conservative websites that allow opposing viewpoints. That doesn't mean profanity and threats of bodily harm are allowed. Sadly, those are the main debate tactics of the Left.

Because Trump drafted an executive order to censor the internet, it would appear that he is intolerant of opposing views./----/ That's on them, not us. Just because the Leftards are intolerant of opposing views, doesn't mean we should be the same way.But when leftist control the vehicle for the internet there is no equal access./—-/ As a Conservative, I believe in equal access for all, not just for those who agree with me. And that makes me different from the Liberals.I suggest that you read the below post/——-/ Yes. They have the same rights.Even if the people who work for Google control the content you view on the internet?
They can support whatever candidate they want but when they limit access to conservative ideas through shadow banning or outright cancelling accounts, then they need to be regulated. Their product has too much power and influence so we must be extra careful to not let what happened to the FBI and DOJ to happen to social media. Those Google jokers talk about not being evil but their bias and manipulation of social media is as evil and destructive as anything in this country today.
And a democrat has tried to censor something?
/----/ You're confused, little Buddy. Trumps EO would remove censorship from the intolerant websites that block Conservative points of view.

conservative outlets thrive on platforms like Facebook: Fox News — a presidential favorite — has 17 million followers on its Facebook page, and consistently enjoys higher engagement than CNN. Fox News got 80% more reactions, comments, and shares than CNN, which has almost double the amount of followers at 31 million. The engagement rate on Fox's posts is higher than every other major news organization on the platform, hitting five-times higher the level of engagement of the New York Times' posts over the past three years.Because Trump drafted an executive order to censor the internet, it would appear that he is intolerant of opposing views./----/ That's on them, not us.

Appears like social media favors conservatives already.
But thats not enough. They want to squash any criticism.

They can't donate to the GOP. That would be just plain wrong.
That must be true....
But would you want me a Trump supporter controlling a search engine on the internet?Yes or no.
Under the current laws, corporations cannot directly contribute to a candidate however individuals in the corporation can contribute to the candidate they like.
It is a free speech issue that allows individuals to make a choice. Whether one contributes to a candidate or not, doesn’t mean they are not without bias.
It is a private organization, how do you control what bias it takes? Whether they contribute to a campaign or not, they will have a bias, just like everyone else.
As far as the Trump supporter stuff, I'd have the same opinion whether it was a Democrat or Republican.

It is free speech, freedom of expression, do you want the government controlling what and how people express themselves? We got rid of the fairness doctrine for the same reason, do we want the fairness doctrine back?
Why do Trump and his followers' hate our First Amendment?
The extremes hate the other side so much they are willing to abolish our rights.
The extreme left wants to monitor hate speech, the right wants to monitor who controls the web. It is all dangerous territory.

The government cannot take your free speech away. The internet is not run by the government, as you have pointed out it is operated by private entities. duckduckgo.com is a popular considered conservative search engine try that one. The idea to limit free speech is something we don't the government getting involved in.

Actually, I believe no one should be allowed to contribute to any campaign that works for any entity that controls the flow of information.Corporations are people too.
since the victory of 'citizen's united' , corporations have done exactly that- whether they are actually part of 'the information highway' or in the biz of producing oil ,fire arms, or prescription drugs... they control the flow of info via getting their candidates' (& thereby their own) ideologies that shape policies enacted into law thru their PACs.
like SHELL, REMINGTON, & PFIZER...

Bing is maintained by Microsoft.I didn't realize Microsoft had control of all the information on the internet.What about Microsoft? or any internet entity that has control of the information on the internet?As long as we're going to allow money to pollute & distort politics, and as long as we refuse to require term limits, this is going to happen.
We can bitch and moan about it all we want, but we're ignoring the bigger picture. We're certainly good at that.
& duckduckgo isn't, but whether i use google, bing, or them - results are usually the same & in the same order they pop up.
