I hope you’re not trying to say google and other search engines do not tailor responses to the individual- because they do and have done so for a very long time. Even Facebook is tailoring their news feeds and you can add CNN to that list now as well. You’re being fed options based on what they believe you want to see from your past search/viewing history. That’s a fact.

No that’s not what I’m saying. Bing is referring to a Trumpy quote about how Google is hiding all good articles about trumpy. Which is totally BOGUS. It’s another Right-Wing conspiracy that Bing keeps trying to pedal here.

Ah, OK. My mistake. That tailoring stuff kinda burns my bacon.

Maybe it doesn’t rise to that level but you can certainly see the difference in perspective between say for example FOX and MSNBC, right? I grew up thinking the news reporting should be completely objective but there are very few like that anymore…

It’s going to get much much worse thanks to the removal of net neutrality. In fact it’s already started.

Edited Just my own experience in searching certain topics and nothing to do with what the President said.

Based on your past conspiracy theories and how you LOVE to inject them into this forum - I seriously doubt that. I also seriously doubt that you have the technical knowledge to make any conclusion on how Google (or any search engine) results are determined. Even well trained Software Engineers with years of experience don’t know. It’s a discipline all it’s own.

Of course you don’t. But keep saying that to yourself. Eventually even you’ll believe it.
