When they hide data you're obviously and explicitly looking for they are making the internet less open.
Look at the google vs duckduckgo search results for this: "How a Convicted Terrorist used the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Website to Identify Targets"
- jeffbee 5y agoSince I know how Google crawl and index work, and I know how the right-wing noise machine works, I suggest a very likely explanation is that Cernovich used Google webmaster tools to remove the URL from their index for the specific purpose of whipping conspiracy theories on Twitter.
- imwillofficial 5y agoThat’s an interesting theory, any data to support it? Has this Cernovich guy done stuff like this in the past?
- jeffbee 5y agoI have as much data to support my theory as the other person does to support theirs. All we know is the page isn't in the results on Google. And yes, Cernovich has a history of PR stunts.
- Consultant32452 5y agoYou might have a point if this wasn't just the most recent of a giant pile of censorship from Google. Medical doctors can't discuss possible treatments for COVID. Medical doctors can't discuss side effects from vaccines. Senate testimony where an alleged Ukrainian whistleblower is named is banned. If you even say the name, not even in any relevant context, you will get banned. The list goes on and on. There is nothing "open" about the Google web. But again, I don't believe there's anything I or anyone else could say that would change your mind.
- imwillofficial 5y agoIt’s a sad state of affairs. It’s like they keep saying “stop hitting me!” while they hit you. My little brother used to do that. Google isn’t big brother, Google is my little brother.
