Social The CEO of privacy search engine DuckDuckGo says Google uses location data to filter political bias

I can understand why folks on the right think Google is left leaning...but that's a mirage. They are soo left leaning they support the fascist Chinese government in censoring search.

Oh look, moron being a moron in yet another thread.

The ONLY way Google can do business in China is to abide by what China wants...how shocking that a company is willing to do anything they need to to be able to do more business. Also, China is a Communist/Socialist nation...which is on the LEFT. Idiot...calling them fascist...

Perhaps if you actually educated yourself on the matter, you wouldn't make such foolish statements?

96% Liberal Sourced.... but that wouldn't cause any bias would it?

The guy (John Gable) that did the study and founded Allsides worked for the Republican National Committee, George H W Bush, as well as Senators Howard Baker, Trent Lott and Mitch McConnell.
"AllSides".

You should hush , cause anyone who says China is communist should not be taken seriously.

Google can refuse to abide by China's rules. No one is forcing them to do business there. Google pulled out of the US military's A.I contract.

You realize that by saying Google is just doing what it takes to do business, you are admitting they are concerned about profits first and foremost, so saying they are liberal makes no sense since putting profits over doing the right thing is anti progressive.
 
Only thing google been showong me lately is that Thermotemp Propane Smoker.

I hate that I am seriously considering picking one up.

Oh get the fuck outa here with that. Google WANTS to do business with china's 1.5+ billion people who willingly follow a leftist regime since Google is on the left...stop being a potato and acting like there are no business people on the left side of politics ya daft cunt.
 
It's an interesting topic. The idea that search engine and advertising algorithms are influencing peoples opinions and unconscious thoughts unintentionally or more alarming, intentionally. To what degree do these algorithms affect popular opinion and when will the formula really be nailed down, to the point that a.i. is molding us like putty...?
 
I watched one Joe Rogan video and now my Youtube homepage looks like Stormfront.
Same thing happened to me! I watched some bullshit Ben Shapiro video from some moran on here and holy hell the recommendations after were awful.

I started watching a bunch of Adam Savage’s Tested, and now it’s all anti-semetic robots.
 
Just search any political topic on duckduckgo and google and see the difference. It's blatant.
 
maybe OT but I find it weird that a search engine is a popularity contest on your own previous searches and your personal data.

Measuring the Filter Bubble: How Google is influencing what you click
https://spreadprivacy.com/google-filter-bubble-study/

Google's "filter bubble" problem. Put simply, it's the manipulation of your search results based on your personal data. In practice this means links are moved up or down or added to your Google search results, necessitating the filtering of other search results altogether. These editorialized results are informed by the personal information Google has on you (like your search, browsing, and purchase history), and puts you in a bubble based on what Google's algorithms think you're most likely to click on.

Other search engines don't operate that way so it's not like Google's method is the only way or the most optimal way to get results. DDG works just fine for me.

Communism and fascism are not synonyms. The Chinese government is communist.

Clearing your history (youtube has that option) solves that. But yeah, one click on a Rogan video and you get spammed by the usual BS "Shapiro thug life" (Shapiro debating kids compilation) "Watch Peterson wreck a feminist" (What does that have to do with my video on Rogan talking about crocodiles?) and so on

That's because the user base is different and the user base effects the results that come out. DDG user base tends to be older, wealthier, whiter, and more male than Google's. Bing's user base tends to be older, whiter, and less tech savy than Google's. It's not that DDG and Bing are more politically neutral, it's just that that the algorithms are affected by the users and the users bring their biases to the search engine.

They are not Communist, the ruling party is Communist in name only. China is a 1 party capitalistic dictatorship. Just because the single party that rules China is officially "Communist" does not make them Communist. If we went by self-professed names then North Korea is a Democracy !
