Google would be able to prevent you from watching football because they don't like your political views.
This is a worrisome development, and it's entirely within the realm of possibility. Imagine getting your Google account suspended because you uploaded a video that YouTube decided was "misinformation", or you wrote a document in Google Docs that contains unacceptable text in Google's mind, or you wrote a particularly spicy comment somewhere.
They shut down your account, and there's no way to appeal the decision, or even speak to someone at Google to find out what you've done wrong. As a result, the only way you'd be able to watch football from that day forward is to go to a friend's house or sports bar.
Although perhaps this is exactly what needs to happen to bring this problem into the national consciousness.
- skinnymuch 4y agoGoogle doesn’t care about political views. Just what makes them the most money. Too much victimizing amongst some people. If Google was actually on the left or liberal why would they time me again do shady anti consumer/customer stuff with their ads and why did they collude with anti poaching? most people are apolitical or in the middle. Those people are who Google is appeasing. So Google is harsher with people to the extreme. Regardless of which side you’re on.
