Google has “interfered” with major elections in the United States 41 times over the last 16 years, according to a new study from the Media Research Center.
“MRC researchers have found 41 times where Google interfered in elections over the last 16 years, and its impact has surged dramatically, making it evermore harmful to democracy.
In every case, Google harmed the candidates – regardless of party – who threatened its left-wing candidate of choice,” MRC Free Speech America vice president Dan Schneider and editor Gabriela Pariseau wrote in a summary of their findings.
“From the mouths of Google executives, the tech giant let slip what was never meant to be made public: That Google uses its “great strength and resources and reach” to advance its leftist values,” they continued.
“Google’s outsized influence on information technology, the body politic and American elections became evident in 2008. After failing to prevent then-candidate for president Donald Trump from being inaugurated following the 2016 election, Google has since made clear to any discerning observer that it has been — and will continue — interfering in America’s elections.”

The left has never been more desperate, and it shows in the censorship in the mainstream media, on Meta, and other social media platforms. Stay vigilant.
When it comes to Big Tech, most people would say Google is the top. Given the fact that Google is the No. 1 search engine in the world and has its hands in every Android phone on earth, “most people” wouldn’t be wrong. Google also owns YouTube, Fitbit, Waze, and Gmail — the largest email provider since 2004 — and is responsible for the approval of every single app on Google Play. Google has a direct, constant attachment to billions of people across the planet.
Anyone who does not suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome or who is not a brainwashed liberal knows that Big Tech censors conservatives online. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter under Jack Dorsey with the FBI in residence at its San Francisco headquarters, or manipulated search engines, censorship is always prevalent. That’s especially true in an election year.
I’m no stranger to Big Tech censorship. I have just fallen victim again.
One of my applications, Wimkin Social Media, launched in September 2020 as a true free-speech alternative to Facebook, Twitter (now X), and Instagram, was the target of mass censorship in January 2021. The Wimkin app was banned and deplatformed by Apple and Google Play, as we were unjustly blamed for facilitating the “insurrection” on January 6, 2021. Specifically, we were banned for “inciting violence,” which is more absurd than the people who insist that Joe Biden is cognitively sound.
When an app is banned by Apple, it is impossible for a person who is not tech-savvy to sideload the banned app onto iOS devices. Doing such would involve “jailbreaking” the device, and not many people have the time or inclination to go to such lengths to use their favorite social media app. So Apple can cripple any company by deplatforming its app and removing it from every iOS device active in the world, overnight. One day your app can be accessed on the billion-plus iPhones in the world, and the next day it can’t.
