Dr. Robert Epstein, The Senior Research Psychologist At The American Institute For Behavioral Research And Technology And A Panelist On Breitbart News’ “masters Of The Universe” Town Hall On Internet Freedom, Joined Siriusxm Hosts Rebecca Mansour And Joel Pollak On Thursday’s Breitbart News Tonight To Warn Of Technology Firms’ Growing Political Power.
Epstein pointed to Google’s dominance of the Internet search market.
“As it happens, 90 percent of search around the world is conducted on just one search engine,” noted Epstein. “There’s never been a precedent for anything like this, ever. You’ve got one company that’s controlling search around the world.”
Epstein added, “That’s a power to shift opinions that’s in the hands of a handful of people in one particular town in Northern California, affecting people around the world, with no way to counteract what they’re doing, with no competitors out there.”
He mentioned a result from a study he conducted: “I calculate that these companies will be able to shift upwards of 12 million votes in November with no one knowing that they’re doing so … and without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace.” – READ MORE
