Google has always had a noticeable bias against conservatives, but could it be showing significant bias against other Democratic presidential candidates as well? There is serious concern that Google’s search engine may be biased in favor of President Biden and other Democratic candidates. This has been highlighted by the Media Research Center, which conducted tests showing that Republican presidential candidates’ websites were almost nonexistent in searches for GOP contenders.

This issue has further escalated with the Justice Department’s ongoing antitrust trial against Google and Robert F. Kennedy’s censorship lawsuit against the company. Eric Goldman, co-director of Santa Clara University’s High Tech Law Institute, believes that “one of the least likely explanations is that Google is hacking these results to steer the election.”
The first result in a Google Search is almost always quite biased. As a result you have simply conformed to your own confirmation bias.

“Google poses a serious threat to democracy,” said former Psychology Today editor-in-chief and social media researcher Robert Epstein. He said Google “can tell us to a high degree of certainty how many people are going to vote, how they’re going to vote, and who’s going to win.”

Google told Just News that it couldn’t explain why Marianne Williamson – a token Democratic candidate – placed higher than Republicans when searching for GOP candidates. Robert Epstein, former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today and social media researcher, states, “Google poses a serious threat to democracy” due to its ability to accurately predict who will vote and who will win an election. To address this, he started a project called Digital Shield, which monitors Big Tech content 24/7 through computers across all 50 US states to document how Big Tech manipulates elections.
The White House + 13 democratic attorneys general specifically targeted me for censorship. When I'm president, I will rein in the surveillance state, end the censorship, and make government transparent. #Kennedy24 pic.twitter.com/Sq8KzuiMBV

Epstein’s research has found substantial liberal bias in Google search results and more go-vote reminders sent toward liberals than conservatives on election day. He also found twice as much liberal bias in YouTube news-related video suggestions as in general news videos and significantly more election updates Twitter gave liberals compared to conservatives.
Google must answer questions regarding the unfair manipulation of search engine results to restore public trust and protect democracy from potential interference from Big Tech companies like them.
