Non-tracking search engine, DuckDuckGo, is now a little easier to find online after the company acquired the premium generic domain name duck.com — thereby shaving a few letters off its usual URL. This means browsing to duck.com now automatically redirects to DuckDuckGo .com. The twist in this tale is that duck.com’s prior owner was Google. […]

Congressional Hearing Conservative Google google search Sundar Pichai

At the Google hearing, Congress proves they still have no idea how the internet works

sudshr47 December 11, 2018

Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s long-awaited Congressional hearing took place on Tuesday.

Pichai testified before Congress on Google+ data breaches, the controversial Chinese-censorship friendly search product, and perceived anti-conservative bias. But, there was one more pressing concern that took center stage to those watching the hearing: Several members of Congress, at least on the House Judiciary Committee, have no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to technology.

At the #GoogleHearing, Rep. Smith is bringing up debunked claims that have been pushed by President Trump. Here, @LamarSmithTX21: “No, 96% of Google news stories on Trump AREN’T from left-wing outlets.” https://t.co/bRHn5zPPjR

Congress Congressional Hearing Conservative Google Sundar Pichai

Google CEO set to testify in front of Congress on Dec. 5

sudshr47 November 28, 2018

Google CEO Sundar Pichai is headed to Washington to testify before Congress.

According to the Washington Post, Pichai’s hearing before the House Judiciary Committee is set for Dec. 5. The topic of the hearing will be Google’s alleged bias against conservatives.

In August, President Donald Trump hurled accusations of bias at Google in a series of tweets. Trump claimed that certain Google search queries like “Trump news” returned results from critical news organizations like CNN rather than conservative-leaning outfits. The issue at hand here — as with other online platforms accused of political favoritism — isn’t bias but rather misunderstanding of how the technology works. Read more…
