Further he says that the situation will be much worse in 2020 unless something is done because they could impact up to 15,000,000 votes by techniques such as only sending voting reminders to people who they believe will vote Democrat.
What makes this interesting is that Epstein is no MAGA hat wearing white supremicist.
He's a psychologist, professor, and author as well as the former editor in chief of Psychology Today. He's also a big Hillary fan. He describes himself as a "vocal public supporter" of Hillary Clinton.
Apparently he's one of the rapidly dying breed of Democrats who actually believe in fair elections.
It's time to declare that when companies like Google take deliberate actions to favor one candidate over another that that is a political contribution.
If Google only reminds Democrats to vote that's no different than if they'd given the DNC tens of millions of dollars to hire people to call prospective voters.
It's also time to stop pretending that Google, Facebook, et al are content neutral platforms and declare them to be publishers. That would mean that they could be sued for any and all content on their sites. Death by a thousand lawsuits is not something the board of directors of those companies would be keen on.
