In sworn testimony, Google CEO Sundar Pichai told Congress last month that his company does not “manually intervene” on any particular search result. Yet an internal discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News reveals Google regularly intervenes in search results on its YouTube video platform – including a recent intervention that pushed pro-life videos out of the top ten search results for “abortion.”

The term “abortion” was added to a “blacklist” file for “controversial YouTube queries,” which contains a list of search terms that the company considers sensitive. According to the leak, these include some of these search terms related to: abortion, abortions, the Irish abortion referendum, Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and anti-gun activist David Hogg.

The existence of the blacklist was revealed in an internal Google discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News by a source inside the company who wishes to remain anonymous. A partial list of blacklisted terms was also leaked to Breitbart by another Google source.

The manual adjustment of search results by a Google-owned platform contradicts a key claim made under oath by Google CEO Sundar Pichai in his congressional testimony earlier this month: that his company does not “manually intervene on any search result.”

A Google employee in the discussion thread drew attention to Pichai’s claim, noting that it “seems like we are pretty eager to cater our search results to the social and political agenda of left-wing journalists.”

One of the posts in the discussion also noted that the blacklist had previously been edited to include the search term “Maxine Waters” after a single Google employee complained the top YouTube search result for Maxine Waters was “very low quality.”

Prolife videos are the equivalent of your high school gym teacher telling you that if you have sex for the first time you will get AIDS and die.

So many left posters were defending google to the death about how neautral their algorithms are, and it’s just another crazy Q conspiracy. No surprise you rush to defend their perjury.

If you're going to declare the WaPo and NYT fake news because of their use of anonymous "sauces", you have to do the same with Bretibart.

Name names, provide evidence, or it's hearsay, even if it is plausible.

What news should we trust? MSNBC? CNN? NBC? ABC? CBS? NPR?

All the major DimMedia outlets are filled with Prog/Dim leftists spewing propaganda so we’re left sifting for the truth. A free and unbiased media only somewhat existed before 2008, now the media has zero integrity..., it’s dead!

If that’s where we’re at (which I believe we are) it’s a dark future for America. Once an institution’s integrity and trustworthiness is gone it’s nearly impossible to recapture.

No excuses. I also love how liberals best argument against abortion is going to super rare and worst-case-scenario instances.

While a pregnancy from rape is a horrible circumstance it still isn’t an excuse for murder. The child shouldn’t have to pay the ultimate price.

I don't think I've ever taken anything from the news at face value. That's not to say they're never truthful and accurate.

Yeah you're way too pious to be involved in reasonable discussions. But your opinions will never be taken seriously in the real world and that's a wonderful thing.

I have never heard a single Democrat say they only want abortion for rape victims. Democrats want all abortions because that is what they are brainwashed into thinking.

Or maybe me valuing the life of a child isn’t that extreme of an opinion but our culture gravitates towards immorality

I’m not perfect but you asked my opinion on abortion. I don’t think it’s okay under any circumstance unless the baby would not survive pregnancy.

I’m not saying I wouldn’t struggle with the decision myself but that doesn’t all of a sudden mean it’s not wrong.

So what's your position on the effectiveness of permits to keep guns out of the hands of criminals?
