I don't know who is worse, big corporations like google who basically do whatever they want or the politicians who have long forgotten that they are supposed to represent the people, not huge corporate interests.

Instead what we have is this unholy alliance of big government, big corporations, lobbyists, the mainstream media, and institutes of "higher education" (I prefer to call it indoctrination in many cases involving universities). And we are all just rabble / the dirty masses in their eyes.

I really wish we could get a true libertarian president elected some day and see the libertarian party get organized and grow in the U.S. I know Gary Johnson did manage to break the 5% mark in some states in regards to the presidential election in 2016. Hopefully the party can get to the level where it can be a viable contender for higher office in this country.

I think there are a lot of Americans who are libertarians but they just don't realize it because they're fooled by the two party narrative and think voting third party is a waste of a vote.

Sadly I think it will be a long time (if ever) before US citizens break the shackles that the two parties have on all of us.

I remember Google from the early days and they had (showed) no intentions whatsoever to censor the content. All these things came from outside world from special interests, regulators and politicians. There is always someone who is "harmed" by this and that post, this and that searchable information, this and that opinion. And they are always people ready to use this pseudo-hurt to put all others into the cage for that. Then it goes on and on and it ends with EU absurdities like that Google search results must follow EU regulations in terms of what must be returned by the algorithm.

US has good chance now, Trump is slowly breaking the old structures and no matter what the mainstream media says about him, he and his team understand what the good old liberty is. He might not fix everything but I'm pretty sure that in few years everyone who is not totally blinded against him will see that freedom really fought back. Yeah, he is not Ron Paul, but it's better to have elected Trump in White House than R. Paul outside it (a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush).
