What many on FR have always suspected. Now it's becoming known.

Why not at least give a little summary instead of just a teasser?

Thanks for posting. Great vid.

This is one of the reasons I really like FreeRepublic. While it is a conservative forum, I get exposed to all the sources... with complimentary BARF alerts, of course!

They want personalization to justify showing you what makes them the most money. They’ll rig the results to make them tons of cash, but just enough as to not piss you off.

The only thing I fault Facebook with is how hard they make it for users to opt out of things. It always ends up as your great aunt doing a repost of a status that says “YOUR PRIVACY IS AT RISK! GO HERE > HERE AND HERE THEN UNCHECK THIS AND THEN YOU WILL BE SAFE”

What I find shocking is this guy is upset that the liberals don’t control the media anymore.

In the presentation he says the algorithm used to filter the content doesn’t have ethics like the editors did.

Time for some real data.


Google, while signed in to an account over 50K searches in its search history.

Google, after signing out and clearing all cookies

From search engine in Former Evil Empire.

LOL! Even after a strong hint, the Rooskie search engine still doesn't have a clue!

I think Google's results are influenced far more by recent history than by my search behavior.

For instance, after the DSK story broke, I found the name of the accuser in the French Media. Plugging it into Google yielded references to an obscure, deceased Senegalese woman who wrote books in French. In order to get anything at all relevant, I needed to add hints, such as Sofitel or rape. The next evening, Google's results for just her name were all about her, and you really had to dig if you wanted to read up on the Senegalese author.
