Megacorporations are bad for the internet for certain, but I don't feel very mind controlled by Google, as I almost always use Duckduckgo or Yandex. They produce fairly similar results, and I have the satisfaction of not shoveling the tiniest bit of money at a company I have likened to fat Vegas era Elvis.
I also doubt the results of their research. Nobody is going to vote for Donald Trump because he happens to appear first in a google search; that's just retarded. I think the fact that outsider candidates are locked out of legacy media megaphones and party power structures seems more harmful to democracy, and this has been accepted as "just how it is" for decades.
