Holy shit, Breitbart has amazing SEO. Google ignores all of your search terms and returns them in second place instead.pic.twitter.com/9BIvGFDWnV

But they aren't "deciding". They use signals. Sometimes those signals align with an individual's views, sometimes they don't. What we definitely don't want is some kind of dictated "equal representation" nonsense criteria to make results "fair".
For example, it's logical and desirable that Google results should favor true statements. Fact checkers have established that, statistically, Republicans lie more than Democrats. Therefore, if Google favors truth, it would *implicitly* favor Democrats, not due to any bias per se.

How exactly would google know if a claim is true? Who checks the fact checkers? A ton of the giangs use SPLC, a organization that blatantly ignores left-wing violent groups in their hate maps.

Of course Google might not always get "truth" right (as that is very hard to definitely decide by algorithm), but that data point suggests that non 50/50 result would be entirely expected given the statistical tendencies of both parties if they *are* getting it right.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

To get a little pedantic, those Republican and Democrat politicians that have been reviewed have produced those statistics. It would be challenging and interesting to determine the results for general population on a large scale using fMRI.

It would, though I think that'd be less relevant for search results. I posit that the people writing influential articles and pages are largely either partisan media closely aligned with politicians, or similarly aligned influencers, so the statistics probably still apply.
