from elsewhere, checks out for me:

>on the subject of google search filters, check out something incredibly blatant I recently found. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=shop&q=kalishnikov+gun+replica - note that I (accidentally) misspelled "kalashnikov". Note that you get a bunch of search results, many with "kalashnikov" in the title. Note that there's a recommended spelling change to "kalashnikov". Click the spelling fix, watch all the search results instantly vanish!

well, I'm not using a VPN at the moment

hmm.

come to think of it, shouldn't make a difference

however

if I lop off kalash altogether and just keep 'gun replica'

I get results

perhaps it's a bit like the 'white inventors' thing

where it assumes because the word 'white' is used it flips the script

if you just search for 'inventors' then the white and black inventors show up

etc

as an example

https://www.google.com.au/search?dcr=0&tbm=shop&ei=Vs2fWpjvDITg0gKPn7r4BQ&q=m-16+gun+replica&oq=m-16+gun+replica

get plenty of results

barely any m-16s though

https://www.google.com.au/search?dcr=0&tbm=shop&ei=WM6fWsDRG4v10wLX2bjABw&q=ak-47+gun+replica

seems more to do with 'kalashnikov' for some reason

@zahlman That was brought up in the past week, but according to Tim Pool that was implemented 6 years ago

huh.

@Legiondude that's.... *really awkward*.

like, "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" tier

@zahlman you saw my reply to that though, right?

idk what's going on with "white inventors", but the families thing is easily enough explained by everyone else's SEO, I think

you saw the m-16 results though, right

and the ak-47

we know how SJWey Google can be, but until I get concrete evidence otherwise, it would seem that the algorithm gets hung up on certain words and word combinations

but why would it? that's the thing

it's really hard to come up with an explanation other than a hard-coded intentional failure, even if they don't have a consistent principle for what failures to cause

neither does it make sense to me that they'd hard code it to fail on 'kalashnikov' but not fail on 'ak-47'

joe average barely would know wtf a kalash is

@zahlman It was implemented as a response to the Sandy Hook shooting

IIRC

huh.

One has to wonder, how often do sand niggers blame the USA for random bullets landing on people's head, when they were fired by other sand niggers shooting into the air?
