If you put something on twitter, and then get banned, yeah, that's you getting kicked off of a private platform.
But Google is not twitter. Google is a lookup system. Google is the lookup system. There isn't really competition
Thanks. At least someone from the "opposition" doesn't pretend not to understand my point.

Uh, Microsoft is "the Chinese"? I'm not sure I understand.

Next paragraph:
The “phenomenon of ‘fake news’” is, itself, the principal “fake news” story of 2017. In its origins and propagation, it has all the well-known characteristics of what used to be called CIA “misinformation” campaigns, aimed at discrediting left-wing opponents of state and corporate interests.
Uhhhhh.
The existence of 2016's fake news wave is fairly well-documented:
And also generally not linked to the CIA (or Russia for that matter). These stories generated millions of clicks, generating a lot of ad revenue. Most of them were traced back to poor people needing money in places like Macedonia recognizing a potential source of income.
(Not to say that CIA misinformation campaigns or Russian misinformation campaigns have never happened, they have, buuut I think calling wsws.org here "misleading" sounds like an apt description).
Come on. If a single opinionated sentence leads you to the conclusion that they are "misleading," then what do we say about all the mainstream media with their attacks on Trump, the fabricated Russia connections, equating all Trump supporters to neo-nazis, etc.? Yet, those are HEAVILY prioritised by google. Sometimes, I need to scroll several pages to find a reliable source on political events. ---
