Google has fact checked a claim that was not made in right leaning Daily Caller website : http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/09/googles-new-fact-check-fea...

Although it may be bugs and not bias : https://www.poynter.org/news/blame-bugs-not-partisanship-goo...

Google continuing to host Alex Jones may not be be 'in the name of free speech', they may not want people to go to other platforms to get their content. They can lead users to other videos from any video ( using the side bar ) and make money from those videos which does contain advertisements



There is really not competition for Google with YouTube plus they now have over 1.6 billion hours consumed a day. So getting rid of Alex Jones content do not think would hurt YT in any manner.

Google does not have to play the cost for more left leaning content like they have to do with alt right content.

Current dominance != future dominance. Read the concept behind innovators dilemma

Also youtube has stiff competition from Facebook : https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/mashable.com/2017/12/05/how-f...


Have read innovators dilemma. There is little chance for YT to be distrubted at this point.

The problem for a competitor is YT was built during a period of time it was possible, barely, to do this. I say barely as in Google had a ton of engineering challenges.

Not sure if technical but serving over 1.6 billion hours of video a day is really hard.

But now with all the content in one place it is impossible to compete.

Wife and me talking about Marsha getting hit with a football. Just turn around and ask the Google Home to play it and it plays a video of the scene. Same with Mary laughing at clowns funeral.

I have 8 kids and ALL of them are organizing here this morning with friends to go an march. I have never seen them do that with anything besides rock concerts.

This is the future and where Google needs to be aligned. The NRA members will die off.
