Almost every conservative talks about Hillary's emails

Almost every leftist talks about Trump & Russia

You can't coddle people.

Give us the pure data.

Google isn't our fuckin' mom.

i know it's a tired argument, but think of a child using google to look up the president and finding DONALD TRUMP RUSSIAN COLLUSION in autocomplete

there's no real need for it, people searching that stuff will search for it regardless of the autocomplete

It contradicts what autocomplete is all about. It's supposed to give you suggestions on what is popular. Period.

I'd rather that child be taught how to think critically than be pampered and shielded from unorthodox content.

That's a soft form of brainwashing and propaganda.

Who made Google the authority on what is moral?

If they're doing this, what else are they doing behind our backs?

The principally-pure free alternative has a lot uncontrolled political conflagration and other weird side effects. Internet livestream rape cults. Thriving CP market. Libertarianism just sucks.

Just welcome the machines already. Wouldn't tyranny be acceptable if it were required to keep the world from drowning in acid? I'm pretty sure that's what it does.

Given the chance I'd vote Romney 2012.

you're right, but it feels like there's a difference between the gov't cutting your internet for hours is a touch more severe than just not having it in autocomplete. you're not blocked from searching these things, it just won't do the work for you. but what do i know

no, autocomplete is just supposed to assist in speeding up your search by inferring what you intend to search for. idk where you get this idea autocomplete is supposed to suggest what's popular. sure that's part of the algorithm but it's not the sole basis
