So a fairness doctrine for the Internet.

That is what is wanted.

Again you dont appear to know how the search algorithms work.

There are many factors but a few of the biggest are in no particular order:

Page hits. The more users access a particular site of a particular query the higher its score in the overall listing results.

SEO. This is hugely important. The better the site’s pages are coded particularly its meta information according to the algorithms scoring model the higher it will appear.

Page Metrics. How fast pages load based on their content affect the score. Other things like accessibility, links that are working etc etc again affect the score.

You put all of these things together and that determines the listing.

There is no super secret lines of code that keep track of which sites are conservative and which are liberal.

If you need a more in depth explanation the info is our there.

Just don’t do a Google search for it :rofl:

Auto fill is not tailored by google its based on how many people search something. The more times a question is asked the higher it is on auto fill

All of these are factors, but to simplify it… Google needs to supply results to search queries that people like and approve. The results reflect what people are reading and viewing.
To claim that the search results are biased, simply means that our society is biased. Maybe the whole internet is biased.

If reality is biased against the modern political right, should algorithms be adjusted to compensate for that? Perhaps we should put Alex Jones rants on an equal footing with well sourced journalism because it makes the snowflakes feel better about their lack of critical thinking skills.

We’re all looking at this from the wrong perspective.

Why is Google the undisputed winner of the Search Engine Wars?

I cant be the only poster here who remembers the “dark days” of search engines. Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, Altavista, WebCrawler, Excite, Infoseek, Lycos… and on and on.

The “product” of a search engine isn’t the ability to sort through every website on the internet and match keywords. That will just result in every search resulting in hundreds of porn sites.

The reason why Google won the War is because of their algorithms - the fact that they were the best at providing results that actually reflected what the searcher was looking for.

Lol you can turn off that “auto fill” option if you don’t like it’s suggestions. I think most people turn it off, because it’s annoying. We’ll, maybe not the old people who haven’t figured that out.

But once again, Republican Media misleading it’s indoctrinated fan base, that’s Project Veritas’ specialty.

Kinda makes you wonder what his and his neighbors search history is like… (predictive search is also based on locality…)

That doesn’t prove the algorithm is biased but it does prove you have no idea how Google’s algorithm works. Google doen’t Count number of threads.

The auto fill is a abomination. People do not need help in finishing their thoughts. This leads to ideas which would not have organically occurred in an individual. People may act on these aberrant thoughts leading them to all kinds of acts of depravity. I had a friend who typed “where can I get some ga” because he wanted some gas, but Google autofilled him to “where can I get some gay sex” and now he’s never going to meet a nice girl.

What is funny is two people standing right next to each other can search the exact same term on google and they will each get different results.

So to come into a thread where someone posts a screenshot of a search they did and says this is what google puts out to everyone who does an identical search makes me giggle.

Most people havent the faintest idea of how complex Google’s search engine is. Literally their whole goal is to deliver the best results to each user based on what they are looking for and what’s available.

Omg this is so dumb. I’m dumber now. Thanks.

So I stumbled on this.

It is a little unfair.

I would label Prager U as deceitful propaganda funded by Oil interests and Jordan Peterson as a delusional smart guy who figured out how to separate morons from their money.

Conservatives= Want the American people to seek the truth out for themselves, and ask them to. To find out the real Truth.

Democrats= excuses, projection, more excuses, pointing fingers, deflection, or anything that can say or do so they don’t have to talk about the truth.

I have attempted to google things in the past only for it to not come up and then use Yahoo and it does show up. It involved left wing politics.

Yep no skewing at all by google. :roll_eyes:

On vacation to fantasy land this weekend I see.

Right now I’m listening to Hannity radio and he is playing audio of okeefe talking to a supposed “Google insider”…gawd these people are so dumb and taking direct aim at the dumber.

You people are being played by a cheap little grifter. How anyone can swallow O’Keefe’s sewage I will never understand.

Lol this site is not famous nor well known. If it was we would have more than a handful of regular posters.

I have been here since 2004 and No liberals have flooded this site at any time.
