Google may need to testify if anti-GOP search results keep showing up

"House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said on Sunday there may be a need for Google to testify after the company's search engine showed results linking Republicans to "Nazism."

Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, the California Republican framed the issue as one in which tech monopolies "should be reined in" and called for a new search engine to compete against Google that doesn't "censor" conservatives."

Read the OP, Google and the other tech companies are running algorithms that are politically biased. Jeremy Corbyn and Donald Trump are persona non Grata, it's nothing to do with left v right. I know it's true because I never use Google :biggrin:

I googled SERPS and got Additional State Pension, also known as the State Earnings-Related Pension Scheme (SERPS)

'Personae non gratae' is the plural form :-)

use duckduckgo and see how you get on

I will reiterate, it is highly likely that the tech companies, media and intel agencies (internal & external) are in the rigged politics game. Proof will be forthcoming.

It was alluded to by a previous poster that search engines are influenced by prior search history. In this case, I temporarily switched my search engine to Google which has no search history associated with it. Besides, the algorithms associated with political matters may have been doctored according to Chairman Nunes from the House Intelligence Committee.

Yeah, but I mentioned the algorithms after our fellow poster talked about search history. He didn't know I was doing a test with a clean search history.

It may not have been as clean as you think

Oh well, the device must have had some search history injected before I bought it :biggrin:
