Google has been doing this for awhile.
There's an old PBS documentary on Tienanmen (Frontline: The Tank Man if you want to see it) and htey note that simply keying in google.com.cn and searching for Tiananmen makes no mention of the riots or aftermath.
Google briefly left China and retreated to Hong Kong for refusing to censor. Then they went back quietly. The Chinese never budged.
Well it looks to me like we need to promote alternative search engines fast
I dont use google ever since they stopped showing anime streaming sites
I use Bing personally. Bribery works.
I'm kinda unsure if it really matters too much. Silicon Valley can be a bit of a hive mind.
if only anime streaming sites were any good these days :c
Mistake is dealing with the chinese.
They are very powerful in terms of industrial prowess.
i don't know if you can blame china's censorship on google. They seemed to do a decent enough job following the motto do no evil until the split up and formed Alphabet, everything went down hill rather quickly after that.
You can't. But Google once took a hard stand against it and people are angry.
Dude they delete th google drives of people.
For questionable content
Some journalists had their research deleted
That bad?! Is there a source?
thats months ago
I had a belief Google was doing shady \*\*\*\* but I wouldn't expect them to be wiping journalists.
Guess Ill have to search
Nah not on purpose
wait, months ago? oh yeah, of course they do bs shit now
They had some keywords to search for, so shit that sounds shady
they formed alphabet in like 2015
The innocent ones that were affected were journalists investigating shady shit.
Thats the issue with algorithms in general
so starting probably the year before, google was going down hill in the shady af department.
i miss when they were doing cool shit, like encourage missions to the moon and researching crazy shit like teleportation
not politically motivated BS
Or firing their smarter members.
I'd really like a source on these deleted drives.
It proves not only is Google engaging in censorship but that it might not be a trustworthy repository. It also proves they can and do scan the contents of files on their cloud.
They didnt read the fucking paper
No, like I said it wasnt intentional
They were targeting people with shady shit.
That last one, if that gets sufficiently public could **kill** Google's commerce.
2010, they started doing cool shit, 2015, they started doing political shit
And they hit journalists that had the material
Businesses do **not** like other companies scanning their stuff.
I know of businesses that refuse to upgrade to Windows 10 because of new MS telemetry.
semi secret?
i mean, you could find info on it
i mean, one of the head guys was called "director of moon-shots" at one point
