Trump defending First Amendment
The Trump administration is “taking a look” into regulating Google, according to National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow.
Kudlow’s revelation comes amid the growing Internet censorship of conservatives before mid-term elections.
“We’ll let you know. We’re taking a look at it. We’ll let you know,” he told reporters on Tuesday when asked if the president is taking action against the tech giant.

Kudlow’s response was related to Trump blasting Google early Tuesday morning.
The president said he received thousands of complaints from conservatives who say the search giant is suppressing their voices by burying search results for conservative web sites and videos on Google and YouTube respectively.
Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake News Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of….

….results on “Trump News” are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!

The president was also referring to a recent report by PJ Media that suggested Google was promoting left-leaning, establishment media sources on their Google News searches in favor of conservative and libertarian outlets.

"There is no Left or Right. There is only Tyranny and Freedom."
A federal grant or 0% tax incentive to alternative google search platforms that allow free speech and no algo restrictions would be better than regulating google – and maybe google would fall from their mighty #1 world monopoly pedestal that has government contracts and cia covert institutional investors propping-up google.
The government made google into the colossus monster it is today and regulation would only make it permanent.
