Robert Epstein's 2019 senate testimony. If you're not already aware of his study into the Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME), & you value your brain, might be worth watching.

A couple of quotes from the testimony:

"Google presents a serious threat to democracy and human autonomy,"

"... democracy as originally conceived cannot survive Big Tech as currently empowered."

Here's a transcript of the testimony:

I generally stick with DDG, seems to satisfy my 'dissent' bias :-)))
