The definition of bigotry has tilted so far to the radical left that expressing simple, widely expected scientific findings get you labeled as a bigot/racist/sexist/alt-right/etc. The issue is not that they are discriminating against just conservative policy or thought. It is that any and all disagreement with radical leftist ideology is considered some form of hate speech in need of censorship.

They don't care about bias, they just want the bias to be in their favor. See: Fox news.

Why does everyone on here always just call out Fox? Are you not aware that CNN, MSNBC and others do this same thing?

CNN is quite centrist, actually. They just happened to discover being tough on the Orange Person gave them Yuuuuge ratings.

Isn't it? It's hard to interpret https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-googl... otherwise.

I know a lot of conservatives who were also dismayed at Trump's election.

Trump doesn't stand for, or enjoy the support of, all conservatives. In fact quite a few of his policies and actions directly contravene long-held conservative principles, like free trade and staying out of internal business decisions.

Fox News is in no way "the same" as CNN/MSNBC. It's straight up GOP/conservative propaganda that in some cases dictates official policy.

"My news source tells the truth, yours is propaganda". Try to not be so partisan. They both push propaganda.

Why would the US House care about Google's business practices in China? I think Dragonfly is horrible, but why would the House care?

Who else is a company headquartered in the US that is willfully ignoring serious human rights concerns accountable to? This is exactly what government is for. And they certainly cared in 2007 when Yahoo was behaving similarly [0]. Hopefully Google doesn't want to become "moral pygmies". [0] https://www.mercurynews.com/2007/11/06/lawmaker-scolds-yahoo...

All American companies operating in China, including all telecom companies, Apple, etc. are handing over all Chinese user info to the Chinese government.

As much as I think that's horrible, there are no laws in the US objecting to any of that.

Because Fox is the one speaking in their favor? Or you didn't understand GP's argument?

Im just going to say that the phrase: " biased against conservatives" sounds oxymoron. The "conservatives" that I keep hearing about on the "conservative" news sources, are IMO organizations that try to hinder and destroy any effort at evolving as humans. So, at what point can a company like google say: "Fuck those people" officially?

While they both push BS, if you compare them to the rest of the worlds news sources you will see that most news align with CNN/MSNBC. Or let me put this way: The rest of the (educated) world laugh at the people that watch Fox News.

They (publishers) actually are held accountable for the stuff they publish (e.g., publishing copyrighted material w/o permission will land you in the courtroom). This is why FB/Twitter/YouTube do not want to be publishers. However, because of their approach to moderation, they could wander in those waters.

They're not held legally accountable for political views. The copyright stuff applies to everyone already.

Not political views, but slander/libel - publishers are liable.
