Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Friday called to break up Google, calling it a “progressive technology company” with “monopolistic control of information.”
Vance wrote, “Long overdue, but it’s time to break Google up. This matters far more than any other election integrity issue. The monopolistic control of information in our society resides with an explicitly progressive technology company.”
“In October and November, as millions of undecided voters consider their choice for president, they will go to Google and ask “Did Donald Trump say X?” “Is Biden too old to be president?” The results they see will be explicitly biased towards Democrats. A threat to democracy,” he continued.
