US Senators accuse Google of search fixing

article published on 22 September, 2011

Google's Eric Schmidt faced accusations of his company illegally rigging search results to favor his company's services at a US Senate subcommittee hearing yesterday.

I'd like to accuse the senators of NOT doing the good works that we elected them to do. There are a quite a few more important things to worry about than who shows up first or third or 5 millionth on a Google search. Senators, how much money did you waste on this topic today?

It it really against the law to try and save your own ass. I dont see Google doing anything bad, if I had the power to try and sway others to see things in my view then I would, Isn't that what lawyers do???

maybe i should be sueing my local supermarkets for recommending there own products,maybe i should be suing recording artists for telling me where to purchase there songs legally.sounds to me like a bunch of overpaid senators trying to dictate how google is run.maybe they should offer google some money to be first on the search engine lists,probably costs a lot less money then paying lawyers and it will stop them whinging.

What a weak argument. I won't be surprised if we find out these politicians received huge contributions via Microsoft, Sony, and anyone else involved in their patent consortium. Big money buys puppets at the very top. I agree with baxter00, isn't there more important things to focus on? Nice autodesk ad afterdawn.
