> [@bobot](#): > > Google manipulated votes. What the fuck does that even mean? Nevermind, it’s Trump, it’s more meaningless nonsense for the morons. I just did a quick search. The guy he cites – Robert Epstein - has been claiming for years that Google’s biased search engines could swing undecided voters in a preselected way (he implies toward Hillary). Google (and lots of other people) dispute this, of course. But the claim isn’t that they interfered directly with votes, just that they influenced voters, who then “miscast” their votes.

Oh, that’s what he means by “manipulating votes”. And he doesn’t like it. Whether or not it’s true, then, wait until he finds out what Russia did! He’s gonna want to sue them, too! ---

This is scary because he will use this to gain support from his base to move forward with executive orders allowing him to control what is posted about so-called conservatives. ---

Google (and lots of other people) dispute this, of course. I dove into this last month when I saw someone post on Facebook when Ted Cruz was questioning this guy in the Senate. Turns out that what he’s against is Google’s policy to downrank non-credible sources of news, such as Infowars, Breitbart, WND, etc. He thinks that Google should have an algorithm that doesn’t do that, and by checking for factual accuracy, Google had helped Clinton and hurt Trump. I can understand that there’s a concern about someone filtering my news feed. However, I want a news feed that down-ranks sites like Breitbart and Infowars. So Trump is butt-hurt that Google is helping to inform voters who could otherwise be misinformed, and this helps Democrats. Huh. ---
