Washington D.C: An investigative video by news and culture website SourceFed has claimed that search giant Google is manipulating autocomplete suggestions to be more favorable to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The seven-minute long video, that has now gone viral, says Google is deliberately giving out only “positive” news thereby painting Clinton in favourable light.
The video compared search results from its competitors Bing and Yahoo. As examples, the video said typing in “Hillary Clinton cri” would result in terms like “Hillary Clinton crime reform” rather than “crimes.” “The intention is very clear. Google is burying potential searches for terms that could have hurt Hillary Clinton in the primary elections,” SourceFed’s Matt Lieberman said.
