Kudlow: 'We're taking a look at whether Google searches should be regulated'

Hypothetically that could be the result on the surface without the accused cause, and this is what I comfortably suspect. People like controversy and trump and his admin have bundles of it. It's possible that millions of searches for trump prostitute, trump Russia, trump crime, etc etc, teach the search algorithm to add that sort of stuff by default.

Well, I think you are correct if you're saying it is what it is..Not accusing Google of doing this intentionally and I don't think the President did either. Or maybe he did, I dunno.

However, there was that bit someone mentioned about precedence they give to "mainstream sites", I think that was the wording. Just imagine how that might upset the apple-cart if NYTimes, Wapo, CNN, & NBC were no longer allowed that preference, for example.

It depends on what preference is and how it's applied. I'll reiterate that the engine will suggest more of what is popular, what you've picked in the past, what matches your query best. All of that mixed together. If small conspiracy websites arent appearing at the top of the list then too bad. You can still get to them by querying better for them. The google engine has a query interface that can be used to find things better. I find the engine frustrating sometimes when I cant find exactly what I'm looking for and instead I get obnoxious stuff at the top. I don't use the querying that well though.

Net neutrality was specific to ISPs which the google search engine is not. It isn't beholden to any covenant other than having superior functionality that people continue to choose over other options. If people start leaving, they will diferentiate.

Software is both smart and dumb. It's smart in that it can quickly gather and compute many data points to inform and execute a decision. It's dumb in that it's a slave to its code base and business logic. Aka it's only as smart as its implemented design. The output is a result of the algorithm regardless of what the perception of the output is.

strozk let hillary slide server china - Google Search
 
Trump is right though. Anybody who uses Google knows that. Pretty much anything you look for in the world of politics on Google nowadays is buried under tens or hundreds of thousands of leftist-leaning stories.

Trump doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. Anything that is bad to Trump is leftist. Fox is a joke and a nearly 24 hour per day pro-Trump infomercial.
 
You have GOT to be kidding me. :disbelief:

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Tuesday that the Trump administration is "taking a look" at imposing regulations on Google following the president's tweet Tuesday morning accusing the search giant of favoring news outlets critical of him in search results.

Trump tweeted early Tuesday morning that Google's search results only show reporting from what he labeled the "fake news media."

"They have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD," Trump wrote on Twitter early Tuesday morning. "Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out."

Kudlow was asked Tuesday during a brief exchange with reporters whether the Trump administration feels that "there needs to be some form of regulation for Google."

"We'll let you know. We're taking a look at it," Kudlow replied as he walked back into the White House after a TV interview with Fox News.​

Kudlow: White House 'taking a look' at Google regulations
Just another desperate effort to detract from real news that skewers Cadet Bone Spurs each and every day of his miserable, pathetic little life!
The real news is that Americans know what the score is, this country is doing extremely well under president Trump, and all that the Left wants to talk about is porn stars, tax evasion, and The Russia collusion hoax, and accuse the right of racism and sexism, because they have nothing else to offer people. :clap2:

They know what the score is. How many people will vote for a divided government by giving Democrats at least control of the House.

Really? LOL What is the orange clown going to do when he runs out of people, as all the criminals he put into the admin are in prison? The mainstream media may not always be right, but their score is far, far better than the wingnut sources. Remember, when you are a reporter, and one person says it is raining outside, and another says that it is bright and sunny, your first duty is not to report what each says. You first duty is to walk over to the window and look outside. The report what each said, and what you saw. And what we are seeing with the orange clown is a treasonous fat senile old man.
Wrong again. While Trump is fulfilling all his promises at record pace, the Left keeps talking about flags going up or down, or porn stars, or someone being who served in the Reagan and Bush admins avoiding paying taxes (which most Americans do) from 2004.

The trouble is that Americans do not support his campaign promises. On nearly every issue, Trump is underwater in his approvals/disapprovals. The only reason he was elected was he was not Hillary.
 
They hammered MS for "potential" abuse regarding prices. I'm sure they could hammer Google under potential bias under anti-trust laws and regulate it and other search engines and perhaps even social media's as utilities.

That will never happen. There is no way that this would ever stand in a court of law.
 
Google illegally discriminates based upon political orientation
Horseshit. If Trump does not like looking at bad news about him, he should stop acting badly!

He I said outraged over what he sees about himself on google, but indifferent about his failure to reunite the families he split up. It makes him sad to see bad coverage of his administration. But he is indifferent to the death toll in Puerto Rico after Maria. He is pissed about searches on google. But he is indifferent about honoring John McCain.

The petulant brat Donald Trump has never been checked after his tantrums. His daddy didn't do it. The Republican congress isn't doing it.

So he is spoiled. If he doesn't like the program, change his behavior!

Otherwise, fuck him!
 
Is facebook kind of like a public sidewalk or are they the headquarters for the democratic party?

Is google kind of like a public library, or are they an exclusive club?

Could Google advertise a job opening and say "Conservatives need not apply"?

It's the exact same thing. They're discriminating based upon political orientation

I wonder if they'll call it the "Ministry of Truth"?

I don't think political affiliation is a protected class, yet.

In any case, I really hope liberals are paying attention to this insanity. This is the evolution of your nanny-state approach to civil rights. Hate to say I told you so, but ...

Yep. It is. It should be every business's right to hire and fire whomever the want, for whatever reason they want.
