Google’s war on free thought

As a foreigner I'm sort of upset over both. The U.S withdrawing support from the global effort to fight climate change hurts all of us.

I'm also upset over the possibility that google may become an echo chamber in terms of ideology, if they silence all other opinions they might end up having a diversity of genders and races but an utter lack of diversity in everything else.

If they end up an echo chamber we see on reddit what that results in (Look at the Donald fan subreddit) their workers and employees might find their political stance unchallenged and end up thinking that its not up for debate, in fact so not up to debate that using their social media platforms and their -monopoly- in Europe to spread their ideology.

I'm worried about this, I'm not sure its what this engineer was worried about but I'm worried about it, I don't think google should involve themselves so much in politics, especially outside their country, but videos concerning right-wing political opinions on youtube are being demonetized, nothing to do with the alt-right in the U.S, didn't break their terms of service, just opinions employees at google don't agree with.

Sure their monopoly might get broken in time by the free market as people leave their platform but considering Googles power this might take a lot of time and a lot more effort than the 20billion fine we saw from the European Union.
