Trump slams Google for 'RIGGED' results
The White House sought to disÂtance itÂself SatÂurÂday from reÂports that President Trump is conÂsidÂerÂing an exÂecÂuÂtive ordÂer that would subÂject tech giants like Facebook, GooÂgle and Twitter to federal inÂvesÂtiÂgatÂions into alÂleged poÂlitÂiÂcal bias.
For weeks, top tech comÂpanies have been on edge, fearÂing that the Trump adÂminÂisÂtraÂtion could seek to reguÂlate the inÂdusÂtry in reÂsponse to the president’s tweets atÂtackÂing soÂcial media sites for siÂlenÂcing conÂserÂvaÂtives online. Their worst susÂpiÂcions seemed to come true FriÂday night, with the eÂmerÂgence of a draft exÂecÂuÂtive ordÂer that called for nearÂly every federal aÂgenÂcy to study how comÂpanies like Facebook police their platÂforms and reÂfer inÂstanÂces of “bias” to the Justice Department for further study.
