Hate sites are dominating and controlling searches on Muslims, Jews, Hitler and women and search engine is failing to tackle problem, say academics __ Google must urgently review its search ranking system because of “compelling” evidence that it is being “manipulated and controlled” by rightwing propagandists, leading academics have said, after the Observer reported that hate sites are now dominating searches on Muslims, Jews, Hitler and women.
Cathy O’Neil, a data scientist and the author of Weapons on Math Destruction, said that unless Google acknowledged responsibility for the problem, it would be a “co-conspirator” with the propagandists. “This is the end for Google pretending to be a neutral platform,” she said. “It clearly has a terrible problem here and it has to own and acknowledge that.
“It simply can’t go on pretending that it has no editorial responsibilities when it is delivering these kinds of results. It is simply not defensible for it go on claiming ‘plausible deniability’. It has clearly become a conduit for rightwing hate sites and it must urgently take action.”
The Observer found that searches for “are jews” were offering the suggestion “are jews evil”, and nine out of the 10 top results gave links to rightwing antisemitic hate sites. Google refused to comment on the individual search results, but on Sunday, it moved to change some but not all of the autocomplete suggestions that the report highlighted.

Google is EVIL!
I’ve read more lies in the past 3 weeks than in my previous 48 years.
Liberals are disgusting and they ARE an enemy of the state.
Did it occur to them that it could be muslims living in the west who are searching about Jews?
None of those came up for me.

Google has historically left wing and that has been well documented.

E’s fate, Gab is going to eat Twitter’s lunch as soon as it is out of beta. Why? Because nobody trusts Twitter.
This is an attempt to shut up conservative AMERICANS. It will fail. I am asking big donors to support this sight. This $25 dollar stuff that we do IS NOT ENOUGH. Jim had a major hardware failure Sunday. THAT IS EXPENSIVE. Of all social media that is germane to this great movement. We are enemy number one!!The RINOS hate our guts and all the lefties. We must stand firm. Donate to JIM — NOW!!
Well, except when they’re doing what they can to advance the state as the enemy of the people....

As if these sites aren’t already going full tilt Left.
I’m not entirely clear how the “hate sites” can control Google search results ... but that seems to be what they are claiming.

Search for ABC. Google lists possible links in order of their popularity/likelyhood in some sense. You pick one. Google notes what you and a billion others picked. Google revises its ranking.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

And the Libs want this STOPPED. Too many people heading for FR and the like. The MSM is losing the Internet War and they don’t like it.
The article refers to “rightwing antisemitic hate sites”. I am not sure at all that most antisemitism has rightwing roots. I would suspect more likely there are muslim roots.
Also, this article seems to suggest the statement “blacks commit more crimes” is hate speech.
