Over the past year republicans have started whining about how the big tech companies like Google and Facebook are supposedly biased against them. They’ve made (utterly false and debunked) claims that Google alters its search results to hurt conservatives, that Facebook censors conservative views, and so on. It ends up just like most other right wing arguments: nonsensical garbage with little to no evidence to back it up. And yet the minute Trump talks about it, suddenly millions of his supporters believe it. Everyone knows that tech companies have a lot of lefty employees. But I have never seen even a SHRED of evidence that they actually code bias into their platforms. https://www.fastcompany.com/90252598/ted-cruz-made-it-clear-he-supports-repealing-tech-platforms-safe-harbor
There is plenty of evidence of bias on Google, Facebook and Twitter. All their execs repeatedly apologized in Senate hearings unable to explain their double standards in allowing leftist extremists and banning / kicking out conservatives.
If your best evidence of this supposed left wing bias is the fact that they banned Alex Jones, that’s pretty fucking sad. Show some real evidence or STFU
it’s not that they banned Alex Jones, it’s that they DONT ban racists of the left. Sarah Jeong from NYT ?
So are Democrats...they’re all nuts and collectively all incompetent....but what are you going to do abt it?
by “all”, I mean both Rs and Ds
Dare question the huullllasassa aha aha ha... Truuuuump... the cult of Trump on Fbook will jump on Ye. Unfortunately foster brother is snagged buy cult of Trump.. (Plays cult of Kefka ff6 music for the choir uuuuhhhhs above)
Wtf
I chatted with someone who follows Alex Jones last night and he sounded a bit crazy talking about this subject and he was ranting about how they all meet secretly to conspire against conservatives and claimed that's why he got banned from various social media platforms around the same time. I told him it's probably because they were not aware they were being seen as supporting his views until it was all over the news and thought it would be good PR for them to ban him too. Then the discussion shifted toward him saying I need to look into builderburg group, JFK assassination, and listen too some Ron Paul speeches that he claimed were chilling and showed how their is a secret society controlling everything. Although I could get him to agree our healthcare system needs improved, although he had to specify socialism doesn't work then ranted about Venezuela. Lol
Cool story bro
~ $ ./1984.sh I agree let's remove these people from society. Their opinions are wrong and we can't have that.
Bud, if you think Google/Facebook are using their platforms in a biased way, go ahead and post some actual evidence. I know the concept of “evidence” must be such a foreign concept to you....

Even if they did code bias into the products, GOP opposes regulations so what the fuck do they plan to do about it? Jack shit, unless they want to contradict themselves.
Just like the article provided by OP. Remove safe harbor status from the social networks . After that civil law will take care of the rest.
That’s a great idea, make the concept of an internet company impossible in the first place. I’m sure LinkedIn would fair well 🤦♂️ Jesus. People on the right really do believe in the most amazingly stupid shit.
If you believe companies that are 90% white are biased and act on that bias, it would make sense that companies that are 90% Democrat are also biased and act on that bias. If they aren’t acting on bias in the prior case, affirmative action doesn’t need to exist
II keep asking for *EVIDENCE* of this supposed bias. And yet not a single right winger has come up with any. Why is that...? Why do you just mindlessly believe this shit like a brainwashed robot...? If Facebook or Google were biased platforms it would be TRIVIAL to prove it.
Also, there are also companies that lean heavily to the right (financial companies). Should we instantly assume everything they do is biased without even a shred of evidence....? No. Jesus. The level of intelligence on the right these days has become completely idiotic...
Ironically FB just demolished thousands of political pages this week, ranging from too extreme left (pacifists) to libertarian.
FAKE NEWS, LIBTARD
True news. I've been following many of these pages. The anti-war ones are almost extinct.
Based on facts often means the opposite of what Republicans say.
They just don't want to know what the majority think about them
