Google and the Suppression of Free Thought: An Illustration
Submitted by maggid on Sat, 09/02/2017 - 5:45pmWe have all heard recently about how Google has instituted policies, allegedly to counter "fake news", suppressing results of various non-mainstream website in their search results. This has resulted in significantly less traffic and therefore less revenue for many sites which we in our community look to for news sources. So, when I had a bit of free time the other day, I set out to do an experiment, to test this hypothesis and observe Google's search results censoring in action.
