Larry Kudlow, “we’re taking a look. We’ll let you know.” on regulating Google

President Donald Trump promised Tuesday to address what he says is the “very serious situation” of social media companies “suppressing” conservative voices and “hiding information” and good news.
Trump recently has made similar complaints about the issue, which has been making the rounds in conservative media. But on Tuesday he targeted Google.
Asked whether Trump thinks Google should be subject to some regulation, Larry Kudlow, the president’s top economic adviser, told reporters only that “we’re taking a look. We’ll let you know.”

To be honest, I do not want to government to regulate Twitter or Facebook or Google. I hate government overreach and any power given to the government should be done with absolutely the highest scrutiny.
As long as ISPs cannot discriminate based on content and the framework of the internet remains open and free then the free market will solve this.
If we as a people agree to let the government regulate search engines and social media all we are doing is opening the door for the Progressives to shut down a conservative thought as soon as they have the power to do so.
Now, if Facebook and Twitter begin promoting only progressive content and silencing conservative speech then they are no longer open platforms and they are closer to content publishers and thus they have made a choice as a company to open themselves up to all of the regulation and consequences that come with that. That is an important distinction. They make a free choice to enter the market of content publishers instead of open platforms. These regulations already exist and for good reason. No need to enumerate more powers and regulations to the government.
I just want as much coverage as possible in the National mindset for all of their shady practices and partisan censorship. The free market will sort that out.
Information is power. We need to fight the MSM narrative and the silicon Valley censorship with information and with competition. Not with government regulation.
If Google and Facebook and Twitter decide to, or have already decided to, completely fold themselves into the progressive propaganda machine then someone will come along to fill that void. The rumblings have already begun with the so called "intellectual dark web". Social media is a cancerous echo chamber. It needs to be exposed and marginalized not credited and regulated.

No it won't and it isn't.
Google can squash your traffic and ruin your internet footprint.
Google is deciding who get's heard and seen on the internet. It's not the internet itself... it's Google. So it's not free and open.

They are already doing that without gov oversite.

It was bound to happened no matter who was in charge. The regulations over tech companies are out dated more so than any other industry, and need to be brought into the 21st century.

So any a second, a herd of anti-regulation Republicans will come storming out and trash that idea, right?!
Crickets.
I guess the anti-regulation GOPers are with the free traders and the evangelicals: way too beta to stand up to the Trumpzis.

I am totally not against regulations that enforce the rights afforded to the citizens of the United States by the Constitution. In fact, I would say enforcing the Constitution is as conservative as you can get.

Going to shut that shite down!!

Nice attempt, but false.
Sticking to the subject, the top is anti regulations that shuffle growth of businesses.
That does not equal what is being talked about. When a single business gets so big that they control a complete industry and uses its power to squash the American public..... It's a different thing

As a strict originalist, please show me what amendments apply to Google and how.

Bad, bad, bad idea!! This cannot happen! This is exactly what The Tech Mafia wants. If they're regulated, they'll further suppress speech under the guise of protecting themselves against hate speech lawsuits.

This is as dangerous as political correctness and multiculturalism. Cut the head of the snake off.

Moooaaarrrr Government!

I think this is Kudlow's way of humoring the man-baby until it gets distracted by something else.

we cannot cheer deregulation and then think it’s good here to have regulations that suit our particular side and not look like hypocrites
let the free market decide these things

Yeah but your premise is false. Explain how it's a violation of the Constitution. You guys were so against net neutrality and now you want to regulate the internet again. I can't even keep up

The first has been used in anti trust cases for a very long time.
When Google controls that much of the internet and then make the decision to not allow free trade and thought and speech, they have violated other people's rights. We are petitioning the government for redress of grievances, which is protected by the First Amendment.

Did this ever happen?
OH...this is the new GOP that likes sticking their nose into free enterprise now! Got it.
Guess I need to start watching Fox News more, to see what they’d like regulated.
