    You’re right, Google controls what I see and pushes right wing propaganda to my phone. TikTok’s algorithm actually works to serve me content based on my interests, and I have true political discussion and discourse there.

      Google doesn’t push right wing propaganda to my phone. Do they only do that to US citizens?

        I’m Canadian - 2 weeks before the election I started getting about an article per day pushed to my Android phone, for a few days.

          Now when you say “pushed to”, where and how did that actually manifest “on” your phone.

            Android will push notifications for news articles that you may be “interested” in. I think it used to be called Google Now.

            Congress is concerned about theoretical propaganda, but it’s a reality in nearly every major news outlet and tech companies, but zero concern when it fits a certain narrative.

              Huh. Curious. I’ve been using Google Now, and after that, its successor, for a long time. Rarely do I see any political propaganda. Just sane reporting. I’m based on Northern Europe though.
