  1. I hate Google for 1 reason: it mindlessly recommends journalism over all other content. The internet has this great benefit over other forms of media that anyone can post information easily for anyone to see, it allows experts to create a website and share information to you. Instead Google prefers to give this role to clueless journalists who have no knowledge on the subject, who talk to under qualified “experts”, and who give a barebones and often incorrect summary on what you want. I want content made with passion, not content spat out for a commission

  2. Yeah but it’s the Russian government who has no interest in giving to the FBI or US government

  3. This is the worst argument I’ve ever seen

  4. Maybe they know you more than you know you

  5. Statistics shouldn’t be politicised, but they are. I don’t care what Mancy Joe has to say in their shitty under researched op-ed, I just want plain numbers from a reliable source

  6. Looked it up, no search results on the first page. Both Bing and DDG had it on their first search - surprising because the website is blocked in my country. So I had to use a VPN. Censorship is everywhere

  7. I just find it ugly. Too boxy, hopefully it takes a windows 11 approach to ui

  8. Yeah, but then they censor content, sell their data to over companies and give it to the government.

  9. Getting around censorship, or getting better results. I’ve given up on Google in recent times

  10. Or the “Recommended for you” crap.

  11. And not indexing it is not also super biased and stupid. I went on it and was weirded out by the absurdity of it, but I found an interesting fact and that’s that Switzerland has a seperate retirement age for men and woman. A perfect search engine would be one that lets you find anything you want, and leaves the rest up to the viewer. When you start picking sides, that’s when this whole idea of the web goes to shit

  12. They shouldn’t. It should be as simple as searching for crime statistics and seeing an FBI database result or independent study but mostly you just see some MSM bullsh*t

  13.  @ClementinesmWTF  depends what you mean by lies. Google lies to you all the time, by hiding these results it’s a big middle finger toy your face saying that you can’t be trusted.

  14. Anything owned by China will be censored to the bone

  15. Is that the Russian one that was recommending cp when you searched up common keywords?

  16. You’d think the keyword “statistics” would give Google a heads up that I want plain numbers with no bullshit from a reliable source, but it doesn’t.

  17.  @theapexbraves5116  I think anything should be given a platform. We live in a fucking democracy, censorship is anti democratic

  18. I’ve had many problems with Google that don’t stem from “neo nazism”. Simple research projects take twice as long as they should as you comb through the subjective news articles to find the actual content you want.

  19. Yes absolutely. If you are accessing a HTTPS website they can still see the domain (https://<<DOMAIN>>/home) If you are accessing a HTTP website, they can see everything you send. Luckily there’s very few HTTP websites, but they do exist and nothing important should ever be sent to them. You can make it impossible for then to see anything if you use a VPN, though remember: the VPN provider can see everything that the ISP used to.

  20. It doesn’t give you what it really should, which is crime statistics. Instead it gives you a bunch of politicised news articles. Unless you like being told how to think rather than being able to make up your own mind

  21. You’re important enough for everything you do to be tracked.

  22. I think it’s a bad thing based on concept. It’s scary how much content is out there that Google purposely hides from the masses But that’s where the web is heading. The majority of content being controlled by a few websites
