I found two others on FB last night making similar claims. Unfriended all three, went back to my night.

Last night a friend posted a meme asking something like, "Today President donated his $400K salary to rebuild military cemeteries. Why isn't this on the news?"

I replied, "Because he didn't." That did not go over well.

One thing I actually noticed--there is a *significant* difference between Google search results and Bing search results. Google has started heavily censoring and altering their search results for a lot of different parameters...the example I saw on Reddit recently was for "getting high". Where Bing brings back a fairly accurate list of results, Google just brings up a bunch of pages sponsored by D&A treatment centers, regardless of whether or not those pages have that phrase in them. It's pretty interesting.

So what you're saying is Google is #fakenews?

Google is not censoring nor altering their search results, grandpa. That's not how it works.

Eh....they literally just drop search terms if they don't like them so they can provide more results. It's not good.

In the last week or so, there was a marked change in certain search results on Google. Search results that had been consistent for months, or even years, were suddenly gone, replaced with others. This isn't a Trump thing, but something most certainly changed and it happened virtually overnight. Whereas on Bing, it has been consistent throughout.

The thing I saw on Reddit was related to recreational drugs. Search results that would have previously always brought up forums like Erowid or other "get high safely" types of places were completely eliminated. Instead, any search of those types of things (for example, "weed effects") now just brings up a list of rehab centers. You're telling me this wasn't a deliberate alteration or change?

Google updates their algorithms daily, and ran a 'core update' sometime in August. This isn't censoring, which is what I'm getting at.

I don't think it's censoring in the tinfoil-shaf kind of way; but the results are certainly curated.

Yeah I want to be clear that I am not buying into the "fake news" nonsense. But it was such an abrupt and noticeable difference. I was playing around with it after I saw that post, for example, Googling "how much weed to get high" brings back nothing but results for rehabilitation centers. That seems to go beyond algorithms, because obviously the results are not reflecting the search at all.

That's really weird then. I get totally different results. Obviously everyone's results will be different with cookies but that is indeed strange.

My results are almost the same as NTP's.

Re: dodint's comment on Google dropping search terms, that annoys the hell out of and I think I whined about it here once before. I did notice that now they have an option (at least for me) under the results where is displays something like "Link must include) and then the grayed out term or word. Still a pain, but at least it's a work around.

Maybe Google is trying to help you with your drug habit.
