Opposite here. Google, going forward, is more dangerous with it's censorship imho. There is still a lot of trust in google by the average people who think that it's verifiably right XX% of the time, so it can be trusted.. for many reasons.. however there is no transparency in how results are ranked. With Matt Cutts gone there is even less discussed about things. Broad confusing terms like "we changed a couple things and it's only affecting 3% of results, so no worry, carry on.." - and then the things that are changed and not discussed. People don't know. At least with fbook and twitter, people are figuring out that much can not be trusted, and that some "friends" are easily duped into sharing things that are not 100% right. I agree we still need to deal with repeated things affecting the subconscious as everyone scrolls past things, and we need methods to screen capture and research other viewpoints on things that come into a feed.. You can mute people view these other networks, with google you can't mute individuals, or tell it stop prioritizing "xx group thinks". It's not a mild player by any means, it's used like most use wikipedia, but it's used much more. That is a threat to many minds and the future, not just democratic whatever.
