Google Manipulated YouTube Search Results To Program Users\u2019 Behavior<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a new leak that can be accurately labeled \u201cthe smoking gun,\u201d Google has been busted manipulating search results on YouTube in order to manipulate social behaviors and control minds. An internal discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News<\/em>reveals<\/a> that Google regularly intervenes in search results on its YouTube video platform.<\/p>\n

According to Breitbart<\/em>,<\/a> the existence of the blacklist (terms Google considered sensitive) was revealed in an internal Google discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News<\/em> by a source inside<\/a> the company who wishes to remain anonymous. A partial list of blacklisted terms was also leaked to Breitbart by another Google source. Some of the blacklisted terms included \u201cabortion,\u201d and terms related to\u00a0the Irish abortion referendum, Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and anti-gun activist and communist, David Hogg.<\/p>\n

In the leaked discussion thread, Breitbart<\/em> further reported that a Google site reliability engineer hinted at the existence of more search blacklists, according to the source. \u201cWe have tons of white- and blacklists that humans manually curate,\u201d said the employee. \u201cHopefully this isn\u2019t surprising or particularly controversial.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the source, the software engineer who started the discussion called the manipulation of search results related to abortion a \u201csmoking gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

The software engineer noted that the change had occurred following an\u00a0inquiry from a left-wing\u00a0Slate\u00a0<\/em>journalist<\/a>\u00a0about the prominence of pro-life videos on YouTube and that pro-life videos were replaced with pro-abortion videos in the top ten results for the search terms following Google\u2019s manual intervention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0Slate<\/em>\u00a0writer said she had complained last Friday and then saw different search results before YouTube responded to her on Monday,\u201d wrote the employee. \u201cAnd lo and behold, the [changelog] was submitted on Friday, December 14 at 3:17 PM.\u201d \u2013Breitbart<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
