Thanks Google

Same paid Trump result sits on top of Google searches for "vote atlanta/marietta/savannah", "where can I vote georgia", "early voting locations georgia", and lots of similar combinations. Boy are Google employees going to be outraged tomorrow!

This morning the paid Trump ads sitting at the top of "where to vote" queries on Google seem to have moved to Florida. Where else are people spotting them?

Here's a non-Trump example; Jaime Harrison running a fundraising ad on the Google query "where do I vote South Carolina". If you work at Google, can you please make a fuss about this internally? Voter information queries should not be paid ad space. Create a strongly-worded meme!

Google has a monopoly in the U.S. on search, a duopoly (with Facebook) on online political advertising, makes direct donations to U.S. politicians, is a prime antitrust target for at least one party, and is running undisclosed paid political ads on neutral queries about voting

AND THEY KILLED READER
