Google Caught Manipulating Search Results Against Brazil’s Bolsonaro...
Brazil’s Top Election Court Catches Google Manipulating Search
Results to Point to Negative Entries on Bolsonaro …Just Like They Do with
Conservatives in America
March 29, 2019
The Supreme Electoral Tribunal
(TSA), Brazil’s top election court, fined Fernando Haddad (President Jair
Bolsonaro’s leftist opponent) for having a contract with Google to
manipulate search results during the election.
Luiz Edson Fachin, of the
Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), ruled that the PT candidate for the
presidency, Fernando Haddad, paid Google to highlight negative content and
manipulated searches to point to a website with negative coverage of Bolsonaro.
Google wasn’t fined because
they claimed that as soon as they were notified by the court of the
irregularities they dishonored the contract.
This is a common practice by
Google in the United States.
Google manipulates search
results for conservatives and conservative publishers to point to negative
articles and hit pieces.
So does Google allow people or
companies to pay them in order to manipulate search results or only if they are
far left/socialist/communist websites?
Google claims their search
results are driven by some sacred algorithm. Then how is it possible that they
offered such a service to Socialists?
Globo Politics reported
(translated):
Luiz Edson Fachin, of
the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), ruled that the PT candidate for the
presidency, Fernando Haddad, defeated last year’s election, and his coalition
paid a fine of R $ 176,500 for impetus irregular content against the president
Jair Bolsonaro (PSL), who won the dispute.
In a ruling on Tuesday,
Fachin said that the Petista campaign paid Google to highlight negative content
against Bolsonaro, which violated the electoral law and caused an imbalance in
the dispute. The minister denied, however, punishments to Google, on the
understanding that the company suspended the contract when notified by the TSE.
Haddad’s advisory issued
a statement in which he said Haddad expressed “disbelief and surprise” over
Fachin’s decision.
There
is even a video that shows how Google manipulates search results to smear
President Bolsonaro.
