Google accused of trying to hide information that would hurt Biden campaign

Washington Examiner:

Breitbart editor-in-chief accuses Google of systematically blacklisting conservative websites

...
A day after Big Tech platforms Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook removed a video of doctors advocating the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, Marlow told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he wasn’t surprised by the move.

"This is it. Freedom of speech in the United States right now is controlled by Google, it's controlled by Facebook, and it's controlled by Twitter," Marlow said on Tuesday night. "This is exactly why we saw these videos memory-holed from the internet yesterday."

Marlow accused the Big Tech platforms of acting as a cover for former Vice President Joe Biden’s White House campaign, adding that Google’s blacklisting of conservative websites “is 100% about the 2020 election and controlling the narrative.”

He said his staff has tracked Google's "Visibility Index," which works similarly to the Nielsen Rankings, for the past four years and that the data shows systematic bias against not only Breitbart but other right-of-center outlets. Marlow said that if an average person searches for phrases associated with the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, “the chances of you getting a Breitbart article are virtually zero.”

“We’ve done deep-dive research into our Google traffic comparing it to the 2016 election, and we picked that because we unearthed video a couple of years ago with our own Allum Bokhari, who reported on the global Vice President of Google Kent Walker, who said that he's going to endeavor to make nationalism or populism a blip or a hiccup,” Marlow said. “And we started looking at our traffic, and gradually since the 2016 election, Google’s been diminishing our search results, and then, all of a sudden in May of this year, we virtually lost all Google traffic, all search traffic altogether.”

In May, Google released details of an algorithm change to its search function, and the Washington Examiner has also noticed a sharp drop in traffic coming from the behemoth search platform since.

This blog has also seen diminished traffic since 2016 even though it is published on a Google platform.  Google is acting like "big brother" censoring content inconsistent with its agenda.  It seems to be promoting the evils of liberalism and suppressing conservative messages.  It could be vulnerable to an anti-trust action because of its manipulation of search results.
