Google has not directly intervened in elections as far as we know. Will they ever if we don't take away their power to? Only one way to find out!

(Preface - agreeing with you) - And we really can't know it, either. There's some "evidence" that they're willing to tweak search results in favor of their politics of the day but I'd even take that with a grain of salt - mostly because of the original problem: Google is not transparent.

It has always worked out well for us to give power to completely opaque entities right? Guys? Guys?
