Why single out google only? Isn't it an industry wide issue rather than a company one?
This is going to be interesting because recent moves by social media and tech companies have shifted them from a distribution platform to publisher which opens up an incredible amount of liability issues.
As much as I dislike Trump, I think recent moves by the tech industry were awful misteps. The extremes they went to and the obvious stifling of right wing voices really hurt their reputation and now opens them up for heavy regulation.
I use to feel that social media and tech were biased but fair or tried very hard to be fair. Now it's hard to trust anything ( posts, tweets, search results ) because these platforms have no fairness in them.
Normally, competition would be a deterrent against unfairness, but the days of excite, yahoo, askjeeves, altavista, etc competing with google are over. What else is left but regulation?
