Murdoch media empire attack Sohn's nomination
“For all my concerns about #Facebook, I believe that Fox News has had the most negative impact on our democracy,” Sohn wrote in a tweet in 2020. “It’s state-sponsored propaganda, with few if any opposing viewpoints. Where’s the hearing about that?” The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board opposed her nomination, saying in a November article that the tweet “hinted at deploying the agency’s regulatory power to censor conservative media and revive a version of its mooted fairness doctrine.”
“The FCC, let alone a single commissioner at the FCC has no power to dictate carriage of cable channels or what those cable channels say,” Wood said. “So expressing concerns about the politics of our country doesn’t mean that as another commissioner she would have any [ability] to do anything.” - Daily Dot
Use DuckDuckGo instead of Google's search engine
You share your most intimate secrets with your search engine without even thinking: medical, financial and personal issues, along with all the day to day things that make you, well, you. All of that personal information should be private, but on Google it’s not. On Google, your searches are tracked, mined, and packaged up into a data profile for advertisers to follow you around the Internet through those intrusive and annoying ever-present banner ads, using Google’s massive ad networks, embedded across millions of sites and apps.
To keep your searches private and out of data profiles, the government, and other legal requests, you need to use DuckDuckGo. It doesn’t track you at all, regardless what browsing mode you are in. Each time you search on DuckDuckGo, it’s as if you’ve never been there before. We simply don’t store anything that can tie your searches to you personally, or even tie them together into a search history that could later be tied back to you. For more details, check out our privacy policy. - Spread Privacy
