There is a big difference between "he is right" and "You can't prove he is wrong". Is there any evidence he is right?

- LyndsySimon 8y agoThat's what I'm trying to say - the problem is that I don't see any way to disprove either assertion: "Google is manipulating News" or "Google is not manipulating News" There is evidence that Google has acted in a partisan† way in other areas, though, which is what makes the assertion worthy of consideration. †: "partisan" might not be the best word here. "Ideologically-driven" might be better. Google has acted in its capacity as a content host to suppress content that it finds inappropriate, even though that content was benign. Example: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-21/youtube-bans-firearm-sales-and-how-to-videos-prompting-backlash https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-21/youtube-b...
- cannonedhamster 8y agoThis right here is called "Muddying the waters" you're making an assertion without proof but claiming that the lack between what we know and what we don't know is evidence enough that we should believe the accusation without proof. That's plainly absurd.
