No surprise Paul...

No surprise to me. I've known for a long time Google is not my friend. Others may be just starting to wake up.

There really isn't an alternative, and that's the real problem now that they are the 900 lb gorilla in the room. I found the NBC article on my Google feed. How's that for irony?

Common sense and independent thought helps but we have become instant gratification factoid ingesters.

They got us hooked on crack, and now they are in charge of which brand of crack to dispense. Who would of thunk it?

How intellectually consistent of the delegation. I suppose if it were a baker refusing to sell a cake to a gay couple, that would be okay, right?

Funny how these folks protest when they smell political opportunity.

Crack dealers are only effective if you smoke crack. We all act powerless when Google or IG or FB use their buisness to support their vision. Why? Google, FB, etc didn't get some government involvement in their creation, and at some point they will fail(sears was once the 1000lb gorilla). .

He's busy with actual conservation work. https://flatheadbeacon.com/2019/05/...rior-badger-two-medicine-lease-cancellations/

...suppose this was a hunting site? (sorry, spied the same low fruit)

Then I'd say I'd prefer a delegation who supports conservation rather than blows a distracting dogwhistle while introducing bills to remove habitat protection on hundreds of thousands of acres of public land.

Google is a private company blah blah blah. Google can do that it wants, sure I'm down with that. But Alphabet and a handful of other tech companies are reaching oligarchy status and should be broken up. It's one of the biggest agreements I have with the Warren and Sanders wing of the Democrat party. These companies are operating in an anti-competitve environment fostered by the GOP. I can't blame them for taking advantage of it, but I can ask that regulations be in place to create a more competitive, healthy environment.

IOW, Google discriminating against hunting wouldn't matter as much if there were other options.

Google thinks hunting is animal cruelty but has no problem crawling in the sack with the oppressive Chinese government to do business there. Whatever.
