For those of you who might be under the delusion that Google is a non-partisan tech entity, here’s a reality check. Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski just blasted Google for manipulating its search results.
Pavlovski has outed the tech titan on X, previously known as Twitter, by unearthing a video featuring former Google Executive Marissa Mayer. She’s seen zealously describing how Google prioritizes its own products in search engine results. It doesn’t get clearer than that. Google’s practice of leveraging search results to suit its narrative is no secret. It has been highlighted in several studies by MRC Free Speech America as well.
Pavlovski plans to use this video as pivotal evidence for their ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Google. He’s coming out all guns blazing, that’s for sure. In the video, Mayer can’t help but gloat on how Google positioned its own products at the front of its search engine results. A classic example she threw light upon was when Google Finance rolled out in 2006 and Yahoo’s top-ranked financial charts were pushed aside by Google’s own product.
Mayer even confessed with a rather disconcerting level of enthusiasm how Google did the same with Google Maps and other in-house products. As per Mayer, such bias has been incorporated as a company policy. Well, that’s one way to enforce an office policy, I suppose.
Newsflash folks, Google is not just prioritizing. It’s blunt manipulation and self-promotion on a massive scale. MRC Free Speech America has also accused Google of suppressing the websites of Republican senatorial candidates in its search engine results ahead of the 2022 elections. And as if it wasn’t enough, they appear to be already suppressing Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential opponents in its search engine results. This isn’t speculation; it’s a fact established by MRC researchers.
Republicans, it’s time to ring the alarm bells. Get in touch with Google at 650-253-0000. It’s high time they’re held accountable for mirroring the First Amendment – transparency, clarity on what qualifies as hate speech, and equal opportunities for conservatives. Help hold Big Tech accountable, and if you have faced censorship, get in touch via the CensorTrack contact form. Don’t take it lying down anymore.
To conclude, the Rumble CEO’s latest revelations only add weight to the argument that Google is less-tech-and-more-bias. The tech colossus isn’t playing fair and square, but by the looks of it – Pavlovski isn’t backing down and he isn’t the only one. The conservative community is up in arms too. All in all, it’s time Google faced the music.
