Trump sues mirror for making him look ugly.

Giuliani is still confused why Trump likes looking into the shiny blank glass. Also why garlic makes him bleed

I’m all in favour of prosecuting Google for it’s search monopoly, but Trump only cares about using the monopoly in his own favour

yep, he will only do something if he thinks it will benefit himself. It's who he is.

Awww is the internet being mean to you again, ya weirdo?

What is even the grounds for this? You can't call election interference on a private company because of a preference for a candidate. That's like if Harris wanted to sue Fox News for a bias towards Trump. Private companies are allowed to have biases.

It is also completely possible that the supposed preferential treatment may be due to public opinion and news reporting. Kinda like how if you lie a lot, people call you out on it, but that doesn't make it illegal that they don't call out your opponent equally as much.

For a company that is a monopoly - you should logically be able to, monopolies are not allowed to have biases (shouldn't exist in the first place though).

For a company that says it's a search engine but in fact meddles with recommendations - you should logically be able to, they are calling themselves not what they are in fact.

Both would mean putting all the big tech top management into jail, though. So no chance.

Not exactly, that would work quite differently if Fox had a news monopoly.

Lots of reasons to dislike Google. That is not one of them.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate google too, but for vastly different reasons.

"We are not the same" I think is what you meant to say

Tell me you don't understand the bill of rights without mentioning the constitution

The first part of that title had me thinking "Did he actually say something intelligent?" then I read the rest

Dude's always been crazy. Nothing to see here.
