Check me: I am using Google on a Chrome web Browser. No special or unusual search criteria attempted, simply tried to find the link to the government's DOGE web site. Google is listing hundreds of distractions, of columns and website discussing - but mostly criticizing and cursing Trump's DOGE process. (And quite a few trying to get me to click on Dodge truck and car links). But. The basic official DOGE contact website? Invisible on the first four pages of search results. My intent is to submit a recommendation that Trump specifically audit the IRS database for duplicate SSN/EIN numbers...

Google’s quantum computing breakthrough on Monday has left the physicist who heads the project a believer in ‘the idea that we live in a multiverse.’

A grad student in Michigan received a threatening response during a chat with Google's AI chatbot Gemini. In a back-and-forth conversation about the challenges and solutions for aging adults, Google's Gemini responded with this threatening message: "This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources. You are a burden on society. You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe. Please die. Please." The 29-year-old grad student...

Google artificial intelligence chatbot Gemini displayed its disdain for the Jewish nation of Israel even as it is in the thick of a war on multiple fronts, further revealing that it’s not just Google Search, but even the platform’s AI that is skewed sharply to the left. Gemini ran cover for Hezbollah by refusing to directly define what the organization is and even went as far as providing reasons why Hezbollah could be viewed positively. No, you’re not misreading that.

A former Google employee sprinkled his CV with absurd claims to check how many red flags recruiters ignore as long as a candidate has worked for a prestigious company. New York-based Jerry Lee conducted this social experiment of sorts to figure out how far his Google credentials would carry him in his job search. Hidden in his largely straightforward resume, Lee added outlandish ‘achievements’ like “expert in Mia Khalifa” and “set the fraternity record for most vodka shots in one night.” He then sent the CV out to recruiters and waited. What he found Lee, who spent three years at...

Google prohibits ads with the image of Donald Trump. Change the image to Kamala Harris and it works. Election interference. "Google, you guys are nasty people."

Millions of people have long suspected it, but now a leak suggests that out phones really are listening to us. An apparent pitch deck from one of Facebook's marketing partners appears to detail how the firm eavesdrops on users' conversations to create targeted ads. In a slideshow, Cox Media Group (CMG) claims that its 'Active-Listening' software uses AI to collect and analyze 'real-time intent data' by listening to what you say through your phone, laptop or home assistant microphone. 'Advertisers can pair this voice-data with behavioral data to target in-market consumers,' the deck states. The pitch deck goes on to...

There are plenty of good web browsers to use, and Firefox and its Waterfox spinoff, most of the time, are good. But I noticed something the other day about both of them. I was trying to log onto this Conservative shopping site called “Patriot Depot”, and when I would put the web address in, it would automatically re-direct to Google. This was true for both of them. I tried this with my other browsers, and the site came on just fine with them. Perhaps some lefty programmer at Firefox put a re-direct as a practical joke. If true, given that...

Google was found last week to have violated antitrust law by illegally maintaining a monopoly in internet search. Now discussions over how to fix those violations have begun. Justice Department officials are considering what remedies to ask a federal judge to order against the search giant, said three people with knowledge of the deliberations involving the agency and state attorneys general who helped to bring the case. They are discussing various proposals, including breaking off parts of Google, such as its Chrome browser or Android smartphone operating system, two of the people said. Other scenarios under consideration include forcing Google...

I have detected a serious YouTube security threat that needs exposure. All IT and security experts welcome to please check into my findings and chime in. Here is what I found so far. Years ago this was a problem. Just going to youtube or Google mail at all even on another tab without logging in would load strong spyware in your browser and even in your machine permanently which required reinstalling your OS to remove. It tracked logins on other tabs and was gaining access to keyboards, microphones, and cameras even if you just landed on their site by accident....

"Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly," Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said in his 277-page ruling. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and several dozen state attorneys general had sued Google, accusing the company of paying billions of dollars to Apple, Samsung and other companies to make Google the default search provider on smartphones and web browsers. "This victory against Google is an historic win for the American people," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement. "No company—no matter how large or...

A judge on Monday ruled that Google’s ubiquitous search engine has been illegally exploiting its dominance to squash competition and stifle innovation in a seismic decision that could shake up the internet and hobble one of the world’s best-known companies. The highly anticipated decision issued by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta comes nearly a year after the start of a trial pitting the U.S. Justice Department against Google in the country’s biggest antitrust showdown in a quarter century. After reviewing reams of evidence that included testimony from top executives at Google, Microsoft and Apple during last year’s 10-week trial, Mehta...

I just carried out these two searches at google. Google’s “predictions” prove that they have deliberately programmed their website to be biased against Trump.When Google was brand new, it was praised for being the most accurate and unbiased search engine that had ever exited. This proves that that is no longer the case.

A key Google feature is failing to show results for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump — drawing claims from the former president’s son that Big Tech companies are trying to influence the election. It has also sparked a Senate investigation. Google users were surprised to discover that the search engine’s “Autocomplete” was apparently omitting suggested results related to the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. The anomaly quickly caught the attention of social media users, including a Texas congressman and Donald Trump Jr., who began sharing screenshots of their own examples showing Google search suggestions coming up empty for queries...

Google has hidden autocomplete suggestions related to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. By removing autocomplete suggestions, the Masters of the World are trying to make it more difficult for users to access information about the attempt on Trump’s life. This is just the latest act of election interference by the internet giant. Breitbart News tested Google’s search bar on Sunday, finding that typing in the words “assassination attempt” resulted in autocomplete suggestions of “truman,” “reagan,” “fidel castro,” “slovakia,” “bob marley,” “lenin,” “gerald ford,” “teddy roosevelt,” “saudi arabia,” “john paul ii,” and “franklin roosevelt.”

Google has done stuff like this before -- whether the Google illustration willfully ignores holidays like Easter or celebrating Rachel Carson (who prompted a ban on DDT that's cost tens of millions of Africans their lives), or prioritizes the World Cup over Flag Day. There was a time the Left hated big corporations. That lasted precisely until the moment the Left realized they could align with big corporations to circumvent the pesky Constitution and use corporations to consolidate political power. Which is why Google can do things like this: lol Google pic.twitter.com/6CYXybecz7 — John LeFevre (@JohnLeFevre) July 28, 2024 This...

Google is up to its regular election tricks, according to the Media Research Center. An MRC investigation found that when searching for a candidates name with “presidential race 2024,” Joe Biden’s campaign website is the top result, while Donald Trump’s campaign website doesn’t appear on the first page. The MRC reports that as the 2024 presidential race heats up, concerns are growing about the role of technology giants in shaping public opinion and access to information. A recent investigation MRC has uncovered what they claim to be evidence of bias in Google’s search results, potentially impacting the visibility of presidential...

A new Donald Trump election ad has been completed banned by Google. I don't see why they would ban it other than it makes Biden look bad. But truthfully, he does that all on his own. Let me know why you think they would suppress and cancel this video?

Google was the chief promulgator of the Donald Trump "bloodbath" hoax over the weekend, flooding its search results with articles that deceptively framed the former president's comment. Trump predicted that re-electing Joe Biden would stir an economic "bloodbath," while specifically referencing the automotive industry at a rally last weekend. Yet nearly every headline Google generated on the topic led users to an article skimping over the context, suggesting Trump warned of his plans to provoke a civil war. Google understands it can no longer lead users to such deceptive headlines. Most Americans know what Trump said by now. Therefore, Google...

@Nigel_Farage 🚨 ELECTION INTERFERENCE ALERT 🚨 Big Tech giant @Google has BLOCKED our Ad Accounts. They are trying to stop the Reform message. I hope @MattBrittin can look into this issue as a matter of urgency. We want action.
