- kick 7y agoGoogle doesn't run a social media company, and 'idlewords pushed millions of dollars from tech workers to progressive candidates across the nation almost exclusively using Twitter shitposting. Political organizing without Google is doable. It was some great shitposting. For example, 'tptacek threatening to post more Eric Raymond quotes unless a donation goal was reached: https://twitter.com/tqbf/status/966540097163325445 https://twitter.com/tqbf/status/966540097163325445
- sandoooo 7y agoGoogle runs... Google. As in the search engine that pretty much the entire internet uses. It controls the algorithms that decides what everybody will actually clicks on. Plus a bunch of other internet-plumbing stuff that everybody uses. It really should not have a political opinion, but not because it's technically infeasible. It is feasible and easy to create a slant. And if done right nobody will even know.
