Google’s Control Over the Election

In the wake of Robert Epstein’s groundbreaking study revealing that Google manipulates search results to favor Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, Radio Sputnik’s Loud & Clear discussed what the revelations mean for democracy in America with civil justice advocate Mara Verheyden-Hilliard.

“Given Google’s strong support for Mrs. Clinton, it seems reasonable to conjecture that Google employees manually suppress negative search suggestions relating to Clinton in order to reduce the number of searches people conduct that will expose them to anti-Clinton content,” Dr. Epstein wrote for Sputnik on Monday.

“You can’t just sit back and say ‘democracy is a nicety – people are being left alone to make up their minds and go vote.’ They’re not,” she says.

“Once they [corporations] become treated as a public utility, which is what is needed in society to protect people, to protect democracy, to protect privacy, then that changes the whole way they operate.”

“But right now they have massive control over information and they are unlimited and unbridled. There is nothing capping their behavior except public exposure of their behavior.”
