That Hillary Clinton is friends with and funded by a data analytic specialist who used to work at Google. 


The guy you mention is still the Chairman of Alphabet, Google's parent company.

Yes that would be damning if he was involved.

LINK

this article comes up in Bing first when you search "hillary clinton indictment"

Same for Google. It's not the search results being altered...it's the suggestions.

It ask me if I mean "Hillary Clinton Bitcoin


It asked me if I meant bitch. Of course, googles algorithm varies based on location and previous searches as well as if you're logged into a Google account and if you have safe search on.

That's actually what is quite elegant about this whole issue, starting with the OPs original link.

They have forced the word indictment into the conversation. And like a magician forcing a marked card , the rubes picked it and thought they made an active choice.

But now indictment is trending but the articles that will flood the Internet about it will be about analytics and not about, you know, an actual indictment.

And because this forum has a lot of traffic and is visiting frequently, this thread will bolster that collocation of the words - Hillary email indictment. It won't be about Hilary and her problems. It will be about Hilary and data nerd stuff.

Pretty fricking clever.


Good point. So she really is a Sith Lord

It comes up third if you type the same thing into Google.

And Google will auto fill Hillary Clinton Indictment if you type in "Hillary Clinton indic"
