Why regulate search at all?
A soon as you think Google is not giving you good search results you can hop on over to Bing or a host of other options. The free market works very well here. As opposed to the issue of net neutrality, where very many Americans have no ISP they can switch to if they are not happy with the throttling their ISP is doing. Said throttling could also be used to silence or slow conservative news and ideas.

- stanleydrew 8y agoYes anybody who doesn't like what they see on Google can go search somewhere else. But that won't stop the other 80% of us from continuing to search on Google and seeing "biased" results, which is what is motivating some political/ideological calls for regulation.
