Believe what you want to believe, but a friend at Google I've known and trusted for decades says that Google doesn't tweak search results to be more PC. All the suspicious-looking search results are artifacts.

There do seem to be people within Google who believe that Google should start tweaking search results in this way, but they aren't doing it now.

I believe Google was already fined about Rs 500 crores in India for search manipulation!

Compare the results for "qanon drops" on Google and Yandex. Only Yandex produces links to the actual text of the "drops," which are the conspiracy theory's gospel texts. Easy to argue the tweak is justified; also clear that the results have been tweaked.pic.twitter.com/InzpftuOmQ

I’ve tried to find older YouTube videos, wether they exist or not anymore, almost impossible to find older low view count videos. Don’t like this, or like granularity in search criteria

I would really love to know how their algorithms work. I’m worried they’re doing something they would call “unbiasing”, but the rest of the world would call it “biasing”. They are filtering results. The question is how. Comparisons to duck duck go are often very interesting
