I daresay that the reference is not only to the James Damore situation (which technically is not about free speech; it’s more about working conditions and the illegal, retaliatory firing of a whistleblower), but also to:
- Youtube censoring conservatives and alt-media, bringing on left-wing extremist groups to do it;
- the allegations of Google helping Hillary by biasing its search-term auto-completes, etc.
Anyway, Alphabet Inc. has a lot of ‘splainin to do.
And we’re fools if we think Google is not biased. I’ve noticed that other search engines are more complete, when it comes to indexing/returning GayPatriot articles.
From the comments (thanks V):
The Babylon Bee (a.k.a. the funny version of The Onion) has a couple good ones. Such as:

Contrary to popular belief, no one has to use Google for anything. I don’t.*

Leftists love science when it comes to NYC being underwater by 2015 cuz global warming but saying Usain Bolt has a genetic advantage over Steven Hawking in a 100 meter dash job is beyond the pale

Steve, Bill Maher made fun of that 9 yo boy. Lefties are disgusting! http://freebeacon.com/culture/bill-maher-mocks-childs-letter-trump/
I have no way of knowing if it is any better, or even any different, but I’ve been using a search engine called DuckDuckGo as my default engine for a few months now.
I read the memo, and except for the obvious left-leaning bias the gentleman has, most of what he said is true and accurate. Why is it wrong to note that there are differences in the male and female psyches? Why can’t these people see that by denying the science that is proven while embracing that which not proven, they only hurt their cause?
Over and over, I try to gently let people know that “google is not a verb…it is a brand” …that they do 80% of the search business in the world, and that’s a lot of power for one entity…that there are lots of other search engines….and that it takes no longer to say “look it up” or “research it” than to keep saying “google it.”…and that its algorhythms are biased, along with the fact that they data-mine heavily, esp for one political ideological group and party.
Horrified to know of schools nearly, where their computer classes teach kids the first step to research is to bring up google! Some people, I believe, do not know that there are other search engines and ones that do not track. Any one not in the “movement” of trying to inform people of this, that would like to join in, pls do.
Whoops — just saw above comment and wanted to add — I use DuckDuckGo and have no problems with it.

I’ve used DDG off & on for several years, though I’ve started making it my default search engine in all new browser installations. “Better” is a subjective term; but yes, it is different. The nice thing about Google is that its search algorithm is so refined that it almost knows what you really want when you search better than you do. I like DDG for its simplicity and the fact that it doesn’t suck up bandwidth the way Google and others can. But the results sometimes are lacking. I find myself reverting to Google about 10-20% of the time to return results (usually successfully) that DDG doesn’t.
