Reporter: Google turning into ‘censorship engine’

3449

One reporter claims that Google has been censoring websites that don’t agree with “war” or other establishment viewpoints — could it be?

(INTELLIHUB) Never before have so many independent news websites been threatened with low traffic and Internet rankings as in recent days. It’s as if Google’s algorithm has ramped up — at least that’s what some are claiming.

RT reports: “Google announced changes to its algorithm search in April, aiming to surface more authoritative pages and demote low-quality content, fake news and conspiracy theories. Andre Damon of the World Socialist Web Site joins RT America’s Natasha Sweatte to explain why he believes his site and other progressive sources are being unfairly targeted.”
