Google Fucking with Leak Search Results, Yacy Search Collectives Rising Up
By now, shouldn't there exist an automated, continuous "search engine bias checker" at work, looking for these kinds of unobvious biases? Until such a thing operates, we are faced with anecdotal reports only. Remember what Lord Kelvin said about being able to quantify facts. "When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarely, in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science."

what do you mean, automated? How do you think such automated system would work? And what do you mean by 'unobvious'? If there's any self evident truth, that is the fact that americunt internet companies are completly rogue and are the propaganda arm of the rogue americunt government.
A continuously operating computer to probe (give search tasks to) search engines to qualify and quantify their biases. And as to "unobvious":. You may claim to that the biases are "in there, somewhere". But that won't satisfy everyone, many of whom will want to see the specifics.

yeah but you're assuming that such biases can be detected by some piece of code. The assumpion is flawed. As a side note a while back I saw a site that tracked changes in news articles. You could see for instance how articles at guardian.com were 'updated' to make excuses for previous lies etc. funnily enough, now I can't find that site using google-nsa...

But people who are blatantly biased towards the status quo won't admit they are biased. No computer is going to fix that. People who think the so called MSM isn't biased are obviously hopeless. Why would they listen to accusations of bias in NSA-GCHQ search engines or any other part of the internet spying machine?

Ranking search results is a rather difficult problem with different answers in different situations. If someone, for example, searches for "klax", are they looking for: 1. Los Angeles International Airport; 2. A central Louisiana TV station broadcasting on channel 31; 3. The late 1980s puzzle video game made by Atari; or 4. something else? -- Shawn K.
