I have encountered people who I have needed to shun and remove from my life. Google is free to shun people, indeed due to their size and reach they are much more likely to encounter people who must be shunned then you or me.
- zaroth 6y agoI agree that Google is free to do it. I don't think what Google has done is illegal. But I don't like that they're doing it, and I don't think society should encourage them to do it. For example, I'm more likely to vote for a politician who would consider increased regulatory scrutiny for large companies that use their dominant market position to suppress political speech. Someone else might feel differently, but I would likewise be against large companies using their dominant market position to silence that person or outlets which sympathize with that person's viewpoint as well. What one is free to do, and what is right to do, are two entirely different matters.
