    I hope foreign countries ban Google or hold them accountable for allowing public health misinformation to proliferate.

      There’s enough money to be made in any market to have them grease the right palms in government to ensure that never happens.

          I would have thought the same for New Zealand too. Our current government is shamefully cheap to donate to.

          And what makes you think that? SD (the Swedish equivalent of MAGA and the descendants of the Nazi party) pulled in over 20% of the vote last time and the right-wing parties making up the coalition have all shown to be more than willing to cater to SD’s base (edit: Although, to be fair, that’s also because they have a confidence and supply agreement with the SD).

            Do you have anything to support that SD is taking bribes or are willing to take bribes? Or that they have a close relationship with tech companies? Personally I wouldn’t compare SD to the MAGA movement. Maybe AfS, but not SD.

              I mean the xenophobia alone allows one to draw parallels, but here’s an example of the party harbouring the same wildly unscientific COVID vaccine stances and unscientific claims in their ranks: https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/5Ey2eW/obehorig-sd-politiker-i-riksdagens-kammare

              And thanks for reminding me of the existence of AfS, it truly takes something extraordinary to be too extreme for SD to the point of getting kicked out and starting your own splinter fraction.

                Sure, they share some opinions, but I see no evidence that he’s getting paid to be a vaccine sceptic. I can only assume that’s what he truly believes.

      Wish we could get a class action lawsuit and sue Alphabet for pushing misinformation into our homes and spreading dangerous information that will kill people. Say $1,000 per person, and sue for $347 billion, or w.e the population is now. The MAGA people can choose to not cash their checks if they want. And I’m sure Google would gladly show that 99% of the population did, which would prompt the other 1% to do so.
