| It seems to me that Epstein is far more annoyed that bad things are working against things he cares about, than that bad things are happening. Many people have been very concerned with Google's monopolistic power over the economy. Literally the difference in these two auto completes, can mean a make or break most businesses:
brand name is... scam
brand name is... great Add to that google has been unjustly pushing it's own sites to the top and you have blatant market manipulation, even if it doesn't conform to the legal definition of this term, it definitively conforms to the spirit of the law. That never bothered Mr Epstein. But as soon as he can give it a political spin, all of a sudden this power and its abuse are an issue. And even then it is so narrow and in a space so rife with bias that it's hard to take seriously. I mean, the major networks don't even feature 3rd party candidates in the debate. And yet I don't hear him crying bias. I'm pretty sure media bias is way more pervasive and swings more elections than google or Facebook has ever done. The issue at hand should be Google's monopoly on search, it's blatant bias and the oversize power that gives them. If you pick up on specifics and not address the wider issue, I'm going to have to wonder why. |
