Sure. But one case doesn't show a pattern. Just because he denied one person for wanting to advertise certain viewpoints doesn't necessarily mean that he definitively did it for others. It is def. a red flag, but will that alone lead to a successful antitrust victory in the courts? No. I think u/IntergalacticWalrus is right. It sucks that they burned an agent. But who knows what they will further release, and with the antitrust lawsuit already underway, it could be more fuel to the fire.
I agree that this video just shows a guy talking about what methods they have available should they choose to, but even that is important information because people naively believe there's processes and 'Chinese walls' in place to prevent it - but apparently there aren't.
I'm sure they do biased filtering of news though. I remember a time I looked up some breaking hours-old news posted here on Google News to get a mainstream take on it and there were zero results - but Bing News had several dozens of results from everywhere - NYT, WaPo, you name it.
Unfortunately didn't screenshot and can't remember what it was, but every article was basically forced to write "Trump was right after all". I know Google has a "news quality" AI and I expect they train it with NYT=good and Breitbart=bad and what it learned was if the article has "Trump was right" or like that then it's low quality and filtered out. Even if it's WaPo, NYT, or The Guardian, if it puts Trump in a good light it gets thrown in the bin.
Not the best video - and he said some "They could do that" statements, which is nothing. We all know these tech companies are chock full of liberals who skew everything to the left.
Yeah, I'm not denying the fact that that's the case. Google is quite biased, especially given that they teamed up with the ADL and created murky rules like "hate speech". The issue is proving it "beyond a reasonable doubt". And Google's recent actions are definitely helping for sure.
Yes he did. He said he didn't respond to a conservative who wanted to advertise for brexit. He is a sales rep for google ads.

If you still haven't seen a pattern with Google...
