Over a period of months, Google nudged undecided voters toward voting blue by showing people politically biased content in their search engine, suppressing content they didn’t want people to see, recommending left-leaning videos on YouTube (pdf) (which Google owns), allegedly sending tens of millions of emails to people’s spam boxes, and sending go-vote reminders on their home page mainly to liberal and moderate voters. These manipulations (and others) don’t affect voters with strong points of view, but they can have an enormous impact on voters who are undecided (pdf)—the people who decide the outcomes of close elections.

This is my shocked face. Google literally said they are progressive and that they will only support the progressive POV.

Recently heard about another search engine called Qwant...no clue if it's any less biased, but might be another avenue to try. There is Rumble and Odysee instead of YouTube, there is MeWe instead of Facebook. Or Locals which is a cross between Facebook and Patreon. There is Gab instead of Twitter (or Parler...but don't have much trust there, or possibly TruthSocial, but don't think it will last). There is vimeo instead of YouTube, there are other options out there. No, not as convenient, yes, you have to check them out, too. And yes, you need to keep an eye out on what the "enemy" is doing/saying, so you know which was to jump. But, you don't have to be a slave to it, a mushroom, chained in the dark and being fed...manure.
