      I undid my retweet of this and deleted a reply I posted, because it's unclear what this is even a screenshot of. Maybe Google is doing something fishy and maybe not, but I want to know what we're looking at before we draw any conclusions.

      My guess is that this is merely the opinion of someone within Google about what they ought to do, and not actual Google policy.

          This screenshot is from an internal Google document that was leaked to Project Veritas a couple years ago. https://pv-uploads1.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2019/06/SS1DocDump.pdf … It's a 120-page document. You can read and decide for yourself whether it seems legit.pic.twitter.com/KDBQOQTmDY

          Most interesting is that we believe Google might do this and also have no way of knowing for sure if they are or not. The same is true for many other key internet services we rely on

          the text's font *does not* resemble Google's internal product comms, doesnt look like a genuine screenshot, and is written with a sinister air while it is potentially fabricated, we should admit that the import of the text IS technically feasible for Google to do, today

          Do we wait for it to be so embedded in google's ecosystem we find out years later it has been changing search results and influencing people's opinions without them knowing? When was the last time SV asked for permission first?

          It is called testing the waters. Instead of going all out they are playing patient and taking a step by step approach. The censorship of Trump should have raised red flags, but because of his unpopularity people cheered the decision without thinking about the precedent.
