During the Bush years, it was a meme to search for biggest idiot or something like that and it would return President Bush. It was a relic of an SEO project done by a group of people.
After Obama was elected, a few people noted that the search still worked and a few days later, it no longer returned President Obama or anything like what it did before.
This was all the example one needs to know that your search engine results are heavily manipulated.
- yucky 5y agoYou can try it today by doing a Google image search for "American inventors", or go a step further and try "white American family" and deciding for yourself if there is an agenda in the results or if they accurately reflect the search term... This has been a thing for at least a decade and so we can't pretend it's accidental. Why it's still a thing is a matter of opinion I suppose.
