I recall that Putin said that "he who controls A.I will control the world".

Can we suggest that "he who controls internet technology ad software controls election outcomes?"

This is just another reminder of why Musk is so desperately needed with his purchase of twitter. Not just for political campaigns, but for as he has suggested "truth". Truth and transparency ensures efficiencies and a meritocracy based on the free exchange of ideas.




Sen. John Thune and more than 20 other Senate Republicans are introducing a bill to ban email providers from using algorithms to sort emails sent by federal political campaigns, as they tear into Google for alleged political bias.

The bill from Thune, R-S.D., is a reaction to a study from North Carolina State University that found Gmail sends a much higher percentage of Republican candidates' emails to spam than Democrats. It has the support of the entire GOP leadership team, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and 19 other Republican senators.

Called the Political BIAS Emails Act, the bill would ban email services from applying filtering algorithms to messages from federal political campaigns. Email services like Google also would be forced to provide information to campaigns directly upon request and produce quarterly reports on GOP and Democrat emails going to spam.
