Did we ever get to see the Google administrator screen like on Twitter?

I’m sure they killed as many search predictions as possible once they realized this was a nightmare for them.

in the first example there is a space after 'is', in the second example there isn't.

try it again with the space....

ETA: I just tried, and with the space Google doesn't offer any suggestions.
You are correct. They are definitely manipulating.

ETA: Apparently you did too.

That's actually good. People can learn what is really going on.

Yup. the point of the OP is actually completely correct.

Google has begun manually manipulating the search suggestions for "BLM is " so people aren't led towards information about the evils of BLM.

try typing "corona hoax" under google images... and then under duckduckgo images.

regardless the opinion on the subject... the results you see are more that a bit different.


google/twitter/facebook/reddit have all already gone full 1984 mode.
you are only allowed to see what you are "allowed" to see.

I also noticed the difference in space/no space, so the OP is kinda "fake news". So I just tried it (Firefox/Linux if it makes a difference):

"blm is" (no space): I get: "blm is toxic" and "blm israel"

"blm is " (ending space): I get: "blm is toxic"

It might also depend on your own history, I dunno? But I'm not sure this proves anything one way or the other. After all, "blm israel" clearly has no space there. All the examples in the OP include a space.

I don't see any mystery/conspiracy here. C'mon man, there's enough real sh*t going down, we don't have to manufacture any - that's what the left does.

edit/add: I just tried with duckduckgo - got similar (not identical results) with/wo a space, again, nothing that looks sinister to me:

blm is for
blm is actblue
blm is marxists
blm is peaceful
blm is a pac
blm is a front
blm is a cancer
blm is funded by

your screenshot is correct but i added an 'm' and got the following below:

Hurry before their algorithm moves on to the next letter

Big fan of Drew. It always amazes me that speaking the truth is considered brave but in this era of emotion, it really is.

Hmmm, so when I try that with "blm is a ", the results do look strikingly different for me on google vs duckduckgo:

Google: blm is a human rights issue


DDG: blm is a pac
blm is a front
blm is a cancer
blm is a lifestyle
blm is a shakedown
blm is a corporation
blm is a political group
blm is a slush fund

Try again in a private window: SAME.
