We came in with an internet, we came up with the internet.

And I think Secretary Clinton and myself would agree very much, when you look at what ISIS is doing with the internet, they're beating us at our own game. ISIS. So we have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. It is a, it is a huge problem. I have a son.

He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it's hardly do-able. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing, but that's true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better.

Donald J. Trump, Silicon Valley visionary, White House Chief Technology Officer and pioneering internet expert discusses the The Cyber, on September 26,2016, at the first presidential debate, during the Trump for Traitor campaign.

Bloomberg News reports that our nation’s leading expert on the series of tubes that we often refer to as the electronic internet superhighway web, has a draft Executive Order to regulate what you see on the Google:

The White House is considering a draft executive order for President Donald Trump that would instruct federal antitrust and law enforcement agencies to open probes into the practices of Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Facebook Inc., and other social media companies.[...]

The document instructs U.S. antitrust authorities to “thoroughly investigate whether any online platform has acted in violation of the antitrust laws.”It instructs other government agencies to recommend within a month after it’s signed, actions that could potentially “protect competition among online platforms and address online platform bias.”

The White House says your searches are safe for now because it was just a brainstorming session on how to further erode our democratic norms, without input from people who know better.

Bloomberg News obtained a draft of the order, which a White House official said was in its early stages and hasn’t been run past other government agencies. Separately, Lindsey Walters, deputy White House press secretary, said in an emailed statement that the document isn’t the result of an official White House policy making process.

Oddly enough, the nation’s other leading expert on the Google, namely Google's Chief Executive, Sundar Pichai, has vehemently denied this week that Google has plans to tweak its search engine results toward a political slant, as he responded to this article from the Wall Street Journal:

Google staff discussed tweaking search results to counter travel ban: WSJ

(Reuters) - Google employees brainstormed ways to alter search functions to counter the Trump administration’s controversial 2017 travel ban, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing internal emails.

In response to the article Pichai said:

Pichai wrote an email to "Googlers" saying an internal email to suggest the company would compromise the integrity of its search results for a political end were "absolutely false".

"It's important to me that our internal culture continues to reinforce our mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Recent news stories reference an internal email to suggest that we would compromise the integrity of our search results for a political end," Pichai was quoted as saying by Axios.

So the one side says they were merely brainstorming an idea there’s nothing to worry about and the other side says they were brainstorming an idea and there’s nothing to worry about. 

Where does one search to find the truth if Google should be regulated for having a monopoly on internet searches?

I suppose one could start here:
