Kevin McCarthy Claims Google 'Tries to Control Our Thoughts,' Conspires With Biden AdminHouse Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy claimed on Sunday that Google "tries to control our thoughts," an issue he said was concerning.
During a TV appearance on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, host Maria Bartiromo asked McCarthy to weigh in on the way Google operates. She suggested that the tech giant is conspiring with President Joe Biden's administration as the Department of Justice asked Google "to send them the people who search for certain phrases."
"We know how Google tries to control our thoughts and what we can read on the basis that 90 percent of any search inside the internet goes through Google," McCarthy responded. "But now the Biden administration's government is asking Google to tell them whoever searches certain phrases."
According to a report by Forbes, Google would carry out a "keyword warrant" in which the government would ask the company to provide all relevant Google accounts and IP addresses of those who searched certain phrases on the platform.

Yeah, google shouldn't "tell him what to think" when he googles the name and address of his next victim...

Funny how Ms Bartiromo managed to tie it to president Biden. I'm no fan of keyword warrants but I also don't like fear-mongering liars.
