https://thehill.com/policy/technology/4904383-trump-threatens-prosecute-google/ On Friday afternoon, Donald Trump called for the prosecution of Google for displaying negative stories about him. The remarks are characteristic of the Republican nominee, who often vows retribution and elevates baseless claims of bias, but chilling nonetheless.
“It has been determined,” the Republican nominee posted on Truth Social, “that Google has illegally used a system of only revealing and displaying bad stories about Donald J. Trump, some made up for this purpose while, at the same time, only revealing good stories about Comrade Kamala Harris.
“This is an ILLEGAL ACTIVITY,” he said, adding that, if the Justice Department does not “criminally prosecute” Google for election interference, he will “request their prosecution, at the maximum levels” if elected president.
The source of Trump’s claim appears to be the right-wing Media Research Center, which published a report on Wednesday covered this week by Fox News and The New York Post.
MRC’s report “analyzed the Sept. 6 Google search results” for the terms “donald trump presidential race 2024” and “kamala harris presidential race 2024.” The group alleges that the results favored outlets with “a history of leftist bias,” and that, while Trump’s campaign website appeared sixth in his search results, Harris’s campaign website appeared third in hers.

Dismissing MRC’s report, a Google spokesperson told Fox, “Both campaign websites consistently appear at the top of Search for relevant and common search queries. This report looked at a single rare search term on a single day several weeks ago, and even for that search, both candidates’ websites ranked in the top results on Google.” Trump’s Truth Social post recalls his previous claims that Google search results are biased against him, which Google has denied. It is also yet another example of Trump promising to prosecute his perceived political foes if he retakes the White House. Earlier this month, for example, Trump posted to Truth Social that, if he wins, “those people that CHEATED”—such as “Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials”—“will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences.”

>>1347531 Yes, there is a difference between American media and Julian Assange if that's what you mean.

>>1347532 So you're saying if Julian Assange published it to hurt democrats, the American media has no problem spamming it everywhere like they did in 2016.

>>1347536 I'm saying if in 2016 Julian Assange published it to hurt democrats and then the media ignored it and pretended it didn't happen it would make the media complicit with democrats.

They cry about Twitter suppressing pictures of Hunter Biden's dick while their presidential candidate is saying he's going to criminally charge Google for posting negative things about him. The standard is that they have no standards.

Reminder to ignore all bad faith conservative posts. Until they are ready to be serious people who want to contribute to discussions, they do not need any more attention.

And are just businessmen and or Attempting
to make the political career into something else.
Remember the smaller grade of the politician the less smarty and more focused on helping people
And so called leaders of the community are private interests.
