Project veritas leaked a candid, hidden camera chat with Google's Head of Responsible Innovation, Jen Gennai, where, essentially, she and an engineer shamelessly describe using ML to manipulate search results to better align them with the reality that they would like society to adopt, i.e., a strongly left leaning agenda. Among other topics, she specifically mentioned that Google is working against "another 2016 situation" (regarding the election of Trump). The clips in this video stand on their own-there is no context which mitigates the fact that Google is injecting political bias into its search results. In an interview with a whistleblower in the same video[1], claims of blacklisted autocomplete terms are also implied to be part of search curation.
Given Google's status as the defacto gateway to information for the majority of the first world, this kind of meddling with queries and query results should be cause for concern, regardless of one's political leaning. Ironically, the video was taken down from YouTube.
Note: I don't appreciate the bias of the following source either, but the content is damning on its own.
