Really? You don't see what's controversial about a pro-life employee seeing pro-choice results and deciding to alter the search results? Or what if a republican employee decided to scrub prejudiced anti-republican results and pro-democrat results? What about a chinese employee seeing prejudice "tiannamen square" results and deciding it needed to be removed? You don't like prejudiced results but you are okay with prejudiced google employees creating prejudiced results for you?
> It isn't objective and it never has been.
Actually it was. Google of the 2000s was nothing like what it is today. Google used to be fairly agnostic and served the results honestly when they were desperate to gain market share. Now they are intentionally altering results for a political agenda. That is very dangerous.
But you are right. The headline is incorrect. It should be "Prejudiced Google Workers Discussed Tweaking Search Function..."
Google used to be an honest representation of the internet. Now it's just a prejudiced representation of their prejudiced employees.
> Absolutely. But using a headline like that just plays into conspiracy theory.
Stop it. It isn't a conspiracy theory just because you don't like the truth. We have actual video footage of google leaders and their employees openly talking about manipulating the public. We know they tried to manipulate the 2016 election. They are pretty open about their agenda.
It's one of the reasons why I use duckduckgo. Better search results and less spying and less data collecting.
