James Fetzerblog

Stephen Francis It is well known that Google, Bing, and most other U.S.-based mainstream search engines are not only heavily censored but a large portion of that censorship ultimately focuses on suppressing what is considered ‘anti-Semitic’ content.

Asserting that Donald Trump is a fascist-like dictator threatening the previously sturdy foundations of U.S. democracy has been a virtual requirement over the last four years to obtain entrance to cable news Green Rooms, sinecures as mainstream newspaper columnists, and popularity in faculty lounges.

EUGENE VOLOKH   A request under the name of Leonard Pozner — the plaintiff in that case — was submitted to Google, asking it to deindex these criticisms (which aren’t themselves covered by the judgment).
