[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2997340, member: 5412"] They just produce the algorithms that produce the search results they want you to see first. Robert Epstein from the [URL='http://aibrt.org/']American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology[/URL] has spent four years trying to reverse engineer Google’s search algorithms. He believes, based on systematic research, that Google has the power to rig elections through something he calls the search engine manipulation effect (SEME). Epstein conducted five experiments in two countries to find that [URL='http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/how-google-could-rig-the-2016-election-121548_Page2.html#.WFHJ6KIrJ-U']biased rankings in search results can shift the opinions of undecided voters[/URL]. If Google tweaks its algorithm to show more positive search results for a candidate, the searcher may form a more positive opinion of that candidate. In September 2016, Epstein released findings, [URL='https://sputniknews.com/us/201609121045214398-google-clinton-manipulation-election/']published through Russian news agency Sputnik News, that indicated Google[/URL] had suppressed negative autocomplete search results relating to Hillary Clinton. “We know that if there’s a negative autocomplete suggestion in the list, it will draw somewhere between five and 15 times as many clicks as a neutral suggestion,” Epstein said. “If you omit negatives for one perspective, one hotel chain or one candidate, you have a heck of a lot of people who are going to see only positive things for whatever the perspective you are supporting.” Even changing the order in which certain search terms appear in the autocompleted list can make a huge impact, with the first result drawing the most clicks, he said. At the time, Google [URL='https://blog.google/products/search/google-search-autocomplete/']said the autocomplete algorithm[/URL] was designed to omit disparaging or offensive terms associated with individuals’ names but that it wasn’t an “exact science”. Then there’s the secret recipe of factors that feed into the algorithm Google uses to determine a web page’s importance – embedded with the biases of the humans who programmed it. These factors include how many and which other websites link to a page, how much traffic it receives, and how often a page is updated. Ace, your a troll of the worst sort. Almost all of the information you post has been blatently false. Trump and his organization did not collude with the Russians, Trump and his organization did not conspire with Russia to beat Hillary, Trumps son-in-Law is not a suspect in creating a back door to Russia, and all the other drivel you post on this forum. It was refreshing to not hear RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! 24-7 from the liberal left that you represent. You should be ashamed of yourself. [/QUOTE]
