Unfortunately, it's plausible. Facebook has been deleting pro-Trump and pro-Conservative material lately. Several Internet social networking sites have done similar things. It's annoying. You shouldn't have to dump Internet sites and services for their bad behavior, but you also can't just let them get away with it either.

Could someone please present some evidence other than a youtube of some dork making claims pulled out of the air? Otherwise--stop making accusations, otherwise the only thing it does is make the accuser look foolish. Read up on algorithms before swallowing nonsense.

Did Google adjust its autocomplete algorithm to hide Hillary Clinton's problems? | PunditFact

And if they did supposedly do this, what's the problem? Google is a COMPANY. As long as what they are doing isn't illegal, they can do whatever they want. They don't owe you, or Trump ANYTHING. The entitlement in this country is beyond me.

Too bad its not true... I tried looking for Trump.. All of which had some NEGATIVE links to Trump...

Trump li
Trump or
Trump bro
Trump ru

Google did NOT eliminate negative links to candidates but I am sure it was just a technical error...

You are right, its their company, they can do what they want... They can even lie to public since its not exactly against the law to lie... but I guess some of us, like to hold people/companies to certain standards... and guess what, its also OUR right to call them out on it...

If Google want to make their own private internet then yes they can do as they please. However there are two sides to Google. The profit side and the free organic side. There needs to be a separation and distinction between the two.

It's their company however they operate on a public internet that is not owned by them. You can't intentionally mislead people without disclosing your intentions. Did Google disclose that their FREE supposedly organic public search engine was biased? No.
