Why censorship is ...

I have just booked Dr. Robert Epstein as a guest speaker for our Free Enterprise Society this semester. He will speaking on the topic "Google — A Dictator Unlike Anything the World Has Ever Known" on 3/21/22. The talk will be livestreamed via INSIDE OSU.

Dr. E has done extensive research into the mechanisms Google uses to manipulate beliefs and behaviors, such as the "Search Suggestion Effect" (SSE), which is exactly what you have just highlighted, but that is just the tip of the iceberg:

• Epstein, R., Salcedo, A., Grebbien, K., & Aries, S. (submitted for publication). The Search Suggestion Effect (SSE): How search suggestions can be used to impact votes and opinions.
• Epstein, R. (in press). The technological elite are now in control. Chapter to appear in Vol. 49 of Champions of Freedom. Hillsdale College Press.
• Epstein, R. (2019, August 8). Why Google poses a serious threat to democracy and how to end that threat [Edited version of Epstein’s July 16, 2019 Congressional testimony – not edited by the author]. MercatorNet.
