The science of search engines

@FreeAndClear

No it is not in question because we know google can change results as part of their business model. The question is whether they actually do it for political reasons and so far we have something that didn’t go down and with which i still have a problem on a personal level. And no there should be no laws about it

ok so you ignore/dismiss the article in the op

brilliant

[FreeAndClear]

I just said i have a problem with it. In the very post which you quoted.

[thinkingman]

why are we ignoring the article in the op showing how staffers consider manipulating these results?

Who ever argued that it was impossible for Google to manipulate search results? They control the secret sauce, of course they have the ability to…

haha…

everyone, everytime, with pure derision everytime it was observed and mentioned

cute

No, seriously, who did? Name someone, anyone. Or is this one of those things that feels true to you?

it happened over the 10 years i ve been posting

i dont recall every instance or poster.

i recommend an fbi investigation into it though.

Considering that one of Google’s founders is an immigrant, I can understand why the conversation occurred.

I had a guy suggest something rather outlandish at work just the other day.

We didn’t implement his idea. Just sayin’. That someone had a bad idea really doesn’t mean a helluva lot.

They weren’t saying it was impossible. They were saying it wasn’t happening.

Just typed in “Trump News” into google.

Top 3 stories - 2 from Fox News, one from CNN
Next down is Trump’s Twitter feed
Then below that are 3 videos - One from MSNBC, one from youtube, and one from NBC News.

None of which discuss trump lying.

No, it illustrates that making accusations based on such scant evidence is a fool’s errand and that such accusations are weak at best and unfair and harmful at worst.

No, I see them face-planting because they have terrible ideas and most Republican lawmakers are ■■■■■■ people. The rest flows from those two points.
