Larry Kudlow has no idea what he is talking about. We've held multiple hearings in @HouseJudiciary on this issue. 3 facts are clear:
-Algorithms not based on ideology.
-Algorithms respond to what people want to see
-First Amendment prevents regulating speech of private companies https://t.co/adySvS78yI— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) August 28, 2018
Dear @realDonaldTrump: You should read the First Amendment. @Google has the right to, for example, prioritize cute cat videos over weird Alex Jones rants.
If government tried to dictate the free speech algorithms of private companies, courts would strike it down in a nanosecond. https://t.co/C27IIzt6C1

Trump vaguely expanded on his based-on-nonsense morning complaint about Google, then said: "Google and Twitter and Facebook, they are really treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful." pic.twitter.com/9faZ8KGy5T

Without evidence, Trump reiterated claims about Google's search results, saying the company is "taking advantage of a lot of people."
Trump added that Google, Facebook and Twitter are "treading on very, very troubled territory and they have to be careful" https://t.co/4ZYvyaA9mv pic.twitter.com/enXopOY7pM

The President of the United States just used the power of his office again today to attack yet another private company, and all the gutless Republicans once again have absolutely nothing to say.#Google

update
Trump's rage-googling of himself should be taken very, very seriously.
Trump is turning GOP voters against mechanisms of accountability that *are* working (media, Mueller) for purpose of maintaining the one that is *not* (the GOP Congress).

No evidence of Google tampering. Plenty of evidence of Russian hacking. Guess which one is considered "Fake News" by POTUS? https://t.co/0MxNWNtHPf

This is some crazy, grassy knoll, faked moon landing, Obama isn't American bullshit coming out of the Oval Office.
The President has -at best- a tenuous grip on reality. https://t.co/cIOYS6T4B4

Larry Kudlow and the White House should look at the First Amendment before wasting too much time on this unconstitutional project. https://t.co/AJbhNhanVj
