B-Man Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 More on Buffalo Gal's story.......................... Wait Until You See How Many Google Employees Donated to Democrats. Americans are rightly concerned that Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley have an outsized influence over the news and opinions we see on social media platforms and in Google searches. The fact that most of these platforms originate in some of the most liberal strongholds in the country — Mountain View, San Francisco, and Menlo Park, California — raises questions about whether they're either intentionally or subconsciously putting their oversized thumbs on the scales to promote points of view they agree with and hide views they find odious or dangerous. A study released today from GovPredict shows that more than 90 percent of political donations by Alphabet employees went to Democrats. This news will only amplify fears that everything we read, see, and hear is being controlled by tech industry employees with a left-wing political bent. In the first of a series of articles examining the political preferences of major American companies, GovPredict looked at the political donations of employees at Alphabet — the parent company of Google and many of its subsidiaries, including YouTube, Nest, Google Ventures, Calico, Adsense, Google Ventures, and Verily. The analysis used Federal Election Commission (FEC) data on contributions to federal candidates and causes. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote a Google spokesperson replied to a request for comment with the following statement: “At a regularly scheduled all hands meeting, some Google employees and executives expressed their own personal views in the aftermath of a long and divisive election season. For over 20 years, everyone at Google has been able to freely express their opinions at these meetings. Nothing was said at that meeting, or any other meeting, to suggest that any political bias ever influences the way we build or operate our products. Well, except where you keep referring to the Clinton campaign as "we." And specifically discuss ways to modify your product line to prevent such disasters in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think there's a bit of a difference between an employee thinking of a criminal act, and a group of employees openly discussing a method to alter an algorithm that affects 90% of US search? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the real line here is talking about it and doing it. Talking about starting Nate Peterman in game 2 : Bad Starting Nate Peterman in game 2 = disaster. I've talked with people over beers about the things they would do with their guns given a clean shot at [insert name du juor]. What is our reaction supposed to be to people who talk about doing bad (not illegal even) things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 They didn't just talk about it. They did it. The evidence is easy to see for yourself if you go on Google. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start a search engine and social media machine if you think it's so biased. GoDuckGo is right there for you. Sounds like Trump is bringing in the big government regulators to try to break them up. Will see what Sessions comes up with. Edited September 21, 2018 by BeginnersMind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
