Google has "interfered" with major elections in the United States 41 times over the last 16 years, according to a new study from the Media Research Center. "MRC researchers have found 41 times where Google interfered in elections over the last 16 years, and its impact has surged dramatically, making it evermore harmful to democracy. In every case, Google harmed the candidates – regardless of party – who threatened its left-wing candidate of choice," MRC Free Speech America vice president Dan Schneider and editor Gabriela Pariseau wrote in a summary of their findings.
"From the mouths of Google executives, the tech giant let slip what was never meant

First order of business should be to break up Alphabet (and even Google) under anti-trust.

You can use Grok instead of Google for a lot of this stuff. Early access to Grok! Comes along with Premium X and conveient to use, right there in the main menu for X. Also ... if you buy Premium then your comments are placed at the top of comments to every post. I feel so seen. Also, Grok seems to draw on past tweets, so I like that, it is oddball stuff from X as well as Grok's training.

Funny how Google dropped its “Don’t be Evil” motto in 2015 - after Trump became a presidential candidate. I know it was part of their Alphabet restructure, but still seems more than a coincidence.

All part of being a social media influencer. Only way to stop this is to educate the public so they aren't brainwashed and dumbed down. Not holding my breath. This stuff is everywhere. Google is just one source, albeit a major one.

Most newspapers do the same sort of politicking. In the case of television news broadcasts, the reporters are mostly reading headlines from the newspapers.

It's a shame that these accusations haven't happened in Europe. The fine would be astronomical. The EU knows how to go after the Microsofts, Apples, and Googles with a vengeance. Sadly, we do not.

Google is evil. The company needs to be broken up into a couple dozen pieces which are forbidden to work together in any way.

Google hasn't influenced me one bit because I don't use Google to determine my political views. However, if your lazy and have no knowledge of this country or its history, then I can see how those brain-dead people can be influenced.

Since Day Won of the magic negro, Google executives and Zuckerberg have beaten a path to the back door of the White House. Could that be where this third world corruption began? Don't blame Google, Zero called them. Zuckerberg is just an ass.

As the Tommy Lee Jones character says in the movie The Fugitive - "This company is a monster".

Not a surprise...elections across the country have been twisted for over 20 years...it started with Billie Bent One Clinton...and continued with basement biden...the difference now is...with the internet so available...it's not so easy for politicians behind closed doors...it's out there for all to see...

Years ago O'Reilly had Eric Schmidt on his show. I believe he was heading up Google a the time. Schmidt admitted that he had voted for Obama because Obama 'believed in research.' (like no one else does) It was a squishy answer. I knew he was a lefty right then. So I believe the election interference claims.

I am tired of all the google icons being rainbow colors. It makes it hard to quickly pick out the app I want. Many times I start chat when I want calendar.

For every time that someone asks, not always rhetorically, 'why do they keep voting these people into office'
when usually referring to one of our shining cities / areas, NYC, Chi Town, L.A. S.F. California in general, the
northeastern U.S. in general, well here is a piece of the answer !!
They're NOT but 'the machines ARE and the machines are controlled by ...................................
Now you know a piece of it anyway !

Unreported inkind political contributions.
How about a 41 billion dollar fine.
