Yes it is. Your argument here is that ALL republicans are going to blindly support whatever Trump wants to do.


They don't

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 don't want full government regulation of Google. I'd be fine with across-the-board legislation that does not allow internet search engine and social media websites and platforms to suppress the free dissemination of speech. Doesn't have to be about Google specifically.

Big tech has been public-private collusion from the very start: LINK

There are other methods of getting all of the services that gmail/google supplies. There is no monopoly.

>Linking a 4chan screenshot as if it's a smoking gun.

What anons brilliant research doesn't show is that there is more negative news surrounding the right and alt-right. Why wouldn't that populate first from searches? This all sounds like some major paranoia and butthurt melt from the president. Leading to some very dangerous areas of government regulation.

I agree there is no monopoly. But mere availability of other methods does not exclude a monopoly from existing.

Huh? It merely cites a court case. What does negative news have to do with it?

In the context of the autist screenshot, other methods matter. The girl in the SC decision couldnt exist in a world where she did have 1st amendment rights, because she lived on company property. Therefore the court ruled her rights were violated.

In this case because there are many other avenues for users to express free speech, that implies theres no monopoly, and as such no first amendment right violations.

Given his approval rating among Republicans that is a shrinking distinction.

That isn’t quite right. The court ruled The Court Ruled that ownership does not always mean absolute dominion. The court stated that the more an owner opens his property up to the public in general, the more his rights are circumscribed by the statutory and constitutional rights of those who are invited in.

I don't think the Gov should intervene in any private business. It already does that though.

Yes. However, as foreign as it may be to the lock step Democrats, Republicans don’t have to agree with every single decision or policy. I can still support trump and approve of his overall job performance while criticising any attempt to regulate google.
