2020 presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is suing Google for allegedly infringing on her free speech rights after her campaign ads were temporarily suspended following the first round of Democratic primary debates, reports the New York Times.

Gabbard is seeking at least $50 million in damages and an injunction to stop Google from "further meddling in the election," per the Times.


I agree with her that Google has done far more meddling in politics than any damn Russian troll ever has.

Been saying for awhile now that Tulsi is going to be on the Democrats’ ticket .... and don’t be surprised who is who presidential running mate.

This woman is an ideal VP pick for the libtards.

Google is the biggest internet gatekeeper.

Them bringing out a biased pov, can heavily sway votes. Especially when all their top search results and main headlines always favor one side...while shitting on the other side.

Or as tulsi said.. just Google suspending ads can result in a devastating outcome.

I'm all for suing Google

...but why does she deserve money for it?

When did money become the "fix" for every litigious claim?

Well Tulsi, be prepared for the "it's a private company so they can do what they want" defense your people have presented against the right. So, deal with it like everyone else. I'm getting sick of this broad.

Punitive deterrence. Though $50M is a drop in the bucket to a company worth nearly $1 trillion.

Tulsi Gabbard is the best candidate of the Dos Dozen Democrat field.

Unfortunately for her, the only candidates with less of a chance than her are the vagina-less angry old white men Biden and Bernie.

Great! She is starting to appear to be the left's Trump! I don't like many of her policies, actually few of them, but she's got some fire. And is fearless. Thank goodness the frigging dems will never give her a chance.

Remember when we needed Net Neutrality or the big evil ISPs were going to control our data?

True.

But such lawsuits may become a cottage industry for attorneys. And scores of such suits will bring sudden change to the Palo Alto bully.

Its just a slick play by Google to get their candidate elected to POTUS.

Block a few ads, get her to sue for 50MM , then "settle" with here for 49MM and "discount on future ads". She then uses the 49MM to fund her campaign on google to a big victory and Google has their man* in place.
