Recycled news for blog clicks.
Leftists often label their actions neutral or unbiased because they regard their opinions as unquestionable, objective truths. It a telltale of zealotry typical of cults.
The stunning lack of self-awareness by Google staff - 2 of the 3 people smeared as alt-right Nazis are orthodox Jews (Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager).
This is proof that liberals smear anyone they don’t like with the term.

Nadine Strossen, a law professor and former president of the American Civil Liberties Union.
“Even if we have content moderation that is enforced with the noblest principles and people are striving to be fair and impartial, it is impossible,” she said, testifying at the June 26 House hearing. “These so-called standard are irreducibly subjective. What is one person’s hate speech … is somebody else’s cherished loving speech.”
“I did read every single word of Facebook’s [content policing] standards and the more you read them, the more complicated it is. And no two Facebook enforcers agree with each other and none of us would either. So that means that we are entrusting to some other authority the power to make decisions that should reside in each of us as individuals, as to what we choose to see and what we choose not to see and what we choose to use our own free speech rights to respond to.”
Though private companies, even the ones as large and influential as Google and Facebook, are not bound to protect free speech for the individual, “it is incredibly important that they be encouraged to do so,” she said.
It's no longer a free speech issue, it's a deceptive advertising issue. If a product's marketing is deceptive, it's false advertising and illegal.
If Google's contract is that, for the "price" of letting Google mine your data you get a service that lets you get superior search results, and then Google reneges on that by tilting those results in their favor to manipulate you, that's deceptive.
It's almost like old-time subliminal advertising where you think you are paying for a movie, but you don't know that frames of product were spliced into the film such that you were being manipulated into wanting the product.
In the Google case, you're being manipulated into thinking you're getting a true search result, when in fact you're being socially manipulated by those results.
It's subliminal, and it was made illegal in the past.

George Orwell could not have foreseen google and facebook, but he got it right about thought control and harassing people for their views.
