I thought Republicans wanted less government in private business?

Are you all really ok with Trump threatening to regulate a private business just because he is unhappy about his Google searches?
Talk about the ultimate snowflake meltdown.

Google is publicly traded.

So?
Publicly traded still means its a private business.

If you've been paying any attention to his negotiating tactics you will understand he is urging Google and the like to do a better ob of managing their shite in a more fair and balanced method to keep government out of their business. The man is opinionated that is for sure. So is Google.

You're confusing Trump loyalists with Republicans

I agree. Regulating Google is counter to everything the right claims to stand for yet here they are celebrating the possibility of it. This is the essence of tribalism.

I'm not cool with the President throwing his weight around to influence business. You shouldn't be either. Trump supporters have the choice to use a different search provider if they feel like they are being wronged. Google only has one president.

Do you mean like telling a baker he has to make a cake for queers? You people are so full of fricking shite that you actually think your argument makes sense. You are a fricking idiot.

This is the mother of all assumptions
If you don't like google then use something else

Thats retarded.
That doesnt strip its freedom to offer services as it sees fit...?
Its not publicly owned, however.
If you think publicly traded companies dont have freedom of speech, you really wont like the resulting caselaw. Hobby Lobby never happens, and PAC's instantly die.
Its well established caselaw that pubicly traded companies have first amendment rights.

This republican doesn’t want govt intervention. I doubt trump asctually tries to intervene.
However, your attempt to point out hypocrisy is interesting. I thought democrats were all for regulating against discrimination. In California political affiliations are a protected class. Are you now against allowing government intervention when a private company discriminated against a protected class?

You do realize Google lobbied ti have regulations put on ISPs so that they didn't have to pay for their traffic. They then turn around and sell their search result hierarchy as an advertising agency. Must be nice to use the infrastructure provided by ISPs without having to pay for it like other businesses.

The Trump administration is “taking a look” at whether Google and its search engine should be regulated by the government, Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s economic adviser, said Tuesday outside the White House. “We’ll let you know,” Kudlow said. “We’re taking a look at it.”

This is not an assumption.

To be fair
Google didn't build that, they got some help along the way. So they shouldn't complain when the government steps in.
