Google News & Apple News are trying to become the new gatekeepers of information by curating "verified" news sources and installing unadjustable feeds. Orwell said omission is the most powerful form lying.

BBC usual blame tech gospel with a false dichotomy. The only real people benefiting from the shelter-in-place restriction are the people that do not die because they don't get sick. The majority as in 99% of these people are 65+ years

I only hear raw casualty numbers from the news and not that most people dying had a pre medical condition. I don't think it is that interesting how many 80+ year old people are living because life expectancy has risen in Italy since 19

I never read Google discriminates between paying customers before. That's such a wild accusation that it requires serious evidence. Edit: I can reply anymore but just supply a link of data handling discrimination between paying custom
