[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4570752, member: 63706"] Facebook and Twitter I understand how the censorship works, but I don't use twitter, and I am seeing the opposite happening on Facebook. I'm seeing way more conservative video recommendations and posts than I used to. Google, on the otherhand, I wonder about. I have seen the stories about what execs at Google were up to around the last election. But I wonder how much of the results I get from Google have to do with the algorithm and Google's tweaking of it, and how much is outside influences manipulating the results. Once you understand how the algorithm works, and armed with enough people at computers doing the things you want them to do to influence the algorithm, suddenly all people get is vox's crappy opinion pieces when they are trying to search for real information. Seems like this is right up China's alley. [/QUOTE]
