"Å normalisere Googles tankestyring er mulig, men

jeg kan bli myrdet for å ha foreslått det"

Google’s shaping of people’s attitudes and behaviors
through its control of internet searches amounts to something
“way beyond” a monopoly,
determined Dr. Robert Epstein,
senior research psychologist at the American Institute for
Behavioral Research and Technology. (...)

“Google algorithms are having a dramatic impact on the thinking,
behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, purchases,
and voting preferences of two-and-a-half billion people,
right now,” stated Epstein.
“That’s the power they have. That’s the power they’re exercising.”

Google’s status is beyond that of a monopoly, explained Epstein.

“This is what a totalitarian regime does,” said Epstein of Google’s
leveraging of its power in pursuit of political ends.
“This is not a monopoly. A monopoly fixes prices.
That’s not what this is. This is way beyond that.
This is repressive government. This is a totalitarian,
authoritarian government
that at this point rules much of the world.”

“I did have someone in 'law enforcement' approach me
after I had presented this idea to a small group of people
and he told me he thinks I’m going to get killed sometime in
the next week or two in an apparent accident,”
Epstein remarked. “I’m thinking,
‘Wow, these law enforcement people have a great sense of humor,
I guess,’ but he didn’t seem to be joking.”
