It removes any hate speech towards specific races or ethnicities. There's literally no issue with this. Nothing coming up with "Jews are" simply means there's no positive things that are commonly searched about Jews that it can suggest. This has no impact on any legitimate searches and protects them from being attacked by SJWs and watchdog organizations.

A corporation that has as much power and influence as google has certain ethical responsibilities. At the least, they should be transparent about their agenda.

Libel laws exist to stop lies beings reported as fact. That's different from google censoring reports about a top official's criminal acts.

I get "hillary clinton crime reform" as the top result same as these guys but I also get "hillary clinton criminal" "hillary clinton criminal record" and for some reason "hillary clinton wildlife crime."

I don't know what that last one is even referring to.

Also, one of the autocomplete results these guys were getting was "hillary clinton crisis" which if you actually search for that you get all the negative kinds of articles these guys are claiming are being hidden. One of the things google does is consolidate search terms by theme for things like autocomplete, that's why you don't just get every possible permutation of
>hillary clinton crime
>hillary clinton criminal
>hillary clinton criminals
>hillary clinton crime record
>hillary clinton criminal record
like you see in their bing autocomplete. It's not just following a prefix tree to every possible end and sorting by popularity. All those results are there and represented in the google search they just got filed under a different header because apparently a lot of news outlets are referring to her situation as a "legal crisis" right now.

So in their own video google literally gives them the results they claim are being hidden. They just didn't click it.
>>
>>55006721
>So in their own video google literally gives them the results they claim are being hidden. They just didn't click it.
I think what they are getting at here is just the things the autocomplete presents. If I read "hillary clinton crisis", I wouldn't get bad vibes about her.

But if you actually got those autocomplete results from typing "hillary clinton cri", it might be some under the hood setting we can't see. Maybe by searching to related terms you kind of "disable" the filter, and let google show you bad things about a person? I've checked "donald trump is ", and it didn't turn up any negative autocomplete results either. On yahoo it gave plenty, so it might not be biased after all.
although it did turn up "donald trump racist"

a search engine won't find truth. all it does is find web pages. different search engines use different algorithms to try to find the most relevant pages. that the search engine's blind attempt to figure out what the fuck you are trying to type doesn't match your idea of what you want is no reason to launch off into conspiracy land.
