Some web site will eventually feel the void and Google down the road will be gone if they're stupid enough to try this.

I've read about the censoring, but still see a lot of conservative links in Google searchers. Hence, why I still use it.

Once I cannot find what I am looking for, then I will quit using them. It's that simple.

Agree. I remember a bumper sticker that I saw that says “Life is all fun and games until someone divides by zero”.

Google will soon learn something very similar if they don’t get this crap under control.

I stopped using Google years ago because I don’t want them gathering my data.

They’re very good at it. It’s their business.

Yes if a leftist company the will first “feel” the void and then “fill” the void;) You are correct on both accounts.

How the hell can any serious researcher use Google if it is a mere clone of Headline News? That site has been trashed by left wing hysteria

The biggest impact I’ve seen in Youtube, which Google owns.
They allow many people to still upload content, but turned off ads if their far left “trusted flaggers” say this is objectionable or the subjects are considered “controversial”.
They throw up hurdles to a lot of conservative content being seen like rating it as 18-only, so content doesn’t show up unless you’re logged in and over 18. Now teens and casual searchers don’t see it.
The most egregious is their recent plan to use a redirect. If your content is considered not politically correct, they’ll let you upload the video without payment and without social media functionality AND put a re-education video in front of it.
This is what Google is doing to their biggest social media site in the name of trust and safety. This is what they believe is necessary, appropriate and moral.

That’s the beauty of a capitalist economy.

A consumer can fire a business that doesn’t provide the product/service they want and hire one that does.

Google does censor results in China.

They have the technology, it’s just when and where they choose to apply it.

Google has been doing this for years but very few people have noticed.

If anyone wonders about Google’s propaganda just enter “American mathematicians” or “American scientists”. You will be shocked, I guarantee.

Google is only as good as the direction you give it.

That’s why I try to be as precise as I can be.

Agreed: Once they block specific searches/sites/keywords, I’ll find something else.

‘There Are Efforts to Demote Anything Non-PC from Search Results’

I am sick and tired of the relentless PROPAGANDA!

It is making me more determined to resist it.

It is sickening, disgusting, dangerous, FALSE, and OBVIOUS!

I know I'm not the only one turned off by it! Every time I turn on the internet or the TV, I'm barraged with LEFTIST PROPAGANDA! I am SICK OF IT! The people behind it are making me more and more angry--and the effect they're having is the OPPOSITE of what they want.

I have my search page set to Bing. Yesterday I switched to DuckDuckGo on both my laptop and desktop.

The thing to take note of when using Google is the content it is linking you to. This was especially noticeable during the election. Even though it is giving you plenty of conservative results is it negative or positive content they are linking you to? This is the algorithm to heed when using Google.

Most major corporations are dutifully in the service of the left, and are rapidly getting into line to bow down to our new replacement masters.

As someone in the comments to this article points out, if you Google “european people history” and view Images, you get this: https://www.google.com/search?q=european+people+history&prmd=insv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi95Krx8sfVAhUJ8YMKHYCsDN8Q_AUIECgB&biw=360&bih=517
