Anti-War Democratic Candidate Tulsi Gabbard Sues Google For Campaign “Interference”

By Tyler Durden – Zero Hedge – 07/25/2019

Progressive Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who has long been under fire from mainstream media and establishment voices in her own party for her vehemently anti-war and anti-interventionist stance, is suing Google, The New York Times reports, in what is said to be the first time in history a presidential candidate has sued a major technology firm.

It must be remembered that though considered a “long shot” by party insiders based on her outlier stances (for which she’s been called a popular Ron Paul type unorthodox figure among the Dems), from criticizing the Democrats’ ‘Russiagate’ fixation to calling for an end to “regime change wars” abroad to being willing to meet with Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, Google searches for her named surged across the US during last month’s first round  of presidential nominee debates.

Google and other major US tech companies like Facebook have faced an avalanche of scrutiny and criticism of late for censoring and/or manipulating the visibility of those with unorthodox political views.

The new lawsuit claims Google took steps to “interfere” with Gabbard’s chances in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

“Google’s arbitrary and capricious treatment of Gabbard’s campaign should raise concerns for policymakers everywhere about the company’s ability to use its dominance to impact political discourse, in a way that interferes with the upcoming 2020 presidential election,” the lawsuit stated.

Specifically the lawsuit suggests Google diverted Gabbard campaign emails to be sent to spam folders on Gmail at “a disproportionately high rate” compared to her Democratic rival candidates […]

  2. Who knows why google did it. Google has delisted many progressive sites on the internet. This one too.

    Gabbard is the second- most zionist warmonger candidate running as a demcocrat. They are all stand by the American war machine and support Israel in some way.
    Biden is the worst. Gabbard is heavily financed by the the likes of Sheldon Adelson.

    Maybe Gabbard rigged something or made a deal with google to get this notoriety. Maybe it is a mossad trick.

    The article states Gabbard is anti-war. Poppycock Gabbard is heavily financed by saudi arabia and israel. She has gone to zionist fundrasers . She has said, she will stand with israel come hell or high water.

    This article smells very bad.
