I don't know if this falls under the definition of consumer fraud because people don't pay Google to run searches, but they do expect an honest product or service.
Hoaxing the results by biasing the algorithms in favor of what Google wants instead of what the consumer wants is deceptive advertising at the least.

It’s a protection racket when they suppress search results to get you to cough up dough for “more visibility”. All animals are equal. Some are more equal than others.

Very good point...like a product being misrepresented in what it does, eh?

1) It's a service one is not paying for (yeah, yeah, trackers\info gathering+. Block 'em) 2) It's one 'provider' among many. Pick another. 3) Start your own if you think a niche needs filling. For all the (R)N(C) jabbering & Twitter being bad-mouthed, GAB was started up and the SAME people were then crying, "Nope. Too much (antisemitism, racist, etc.)". Sorry, but the Right loves their own Social/Fasc-ism; very few, IMO, can handle TRUE Freedom.
