Your Washington examiner article falls short of saying that Google made any kind of illegal contributions. It also falls short of providing evidence that Google tried to rig any elections.
- kyrieeschaton 8y agoWhen a Google executive describes altering search results to achieve a favored electoral outcome, that qualifies under any reasonable reading as an in-kind (a good or service provided directly, rather than a bundle of cash) campaign contribution. Whether you consider covert attempts to use their market power in search to achieve unrelated political outcomes as "rigging" I guess depends on your viewpoint.
