How Big Tech is swaying elections and indoctrinating kids

from The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer · host Government Accountability Institute

Censorship comes in many obvious forms, but the subtler type works by not showing you things that the censor doesn’t want you to see, or making it much harder for you to find them yourself. That, according to psychologist and Big Tech researcher Dr. Robert Epstein, is what Google is doing every day, but especially around election time. For the past eleven years, Epstein has studied what he called the “search engine manipulation effect,” by monitoring how Google uses its vast storehouse of knowledge of individual to bias the results of searches done by its users. He and his team monitor how Google’s search algorithm weights and ranks the results of searches done of its search engine, which controls an overwhelming 93% of the online search market. His findings strongly suggest that Google is cooking its search results in favor of Democratic candidates and liberal causes that the company supports, and he has the receipts to back it up.
