Top Google Engineer Abandons Company, Reveals Big Tech Rewrote Algos To Target Trump

A Big Tech whistleblower said Google altered its algorithm in order to
ensure that negative stories from the establishment media about former Present
Donald Trump were what people saw when using the highest-trafficked website on
the internet.
Zach Vorhies, who previously worked for Google, said in an interview with The Epoch Times that the tech titan specifically tailored its news algorithm to harm the former president.
Vorhies has
written a book about his experience working at Google. He said he wanted to “take
conspiracy theory and turn it into conspiracy fact” by sharing the practices he
saw as a longtime former employee, working on both Google and YouTube projects.
“People kind of suspect this is happening. That certain keywords trigger things within
the algorithm … That is actually happening,”
he told the Times, noting that newly written stories about Trump were
digitally married with older ones to ensure they remained at the top of search
results.
“They actually have that. They show like a graph, a tree, and they
say actually this forms a super-story that spans eight days,”
he said.
“So, with the Trump/[former FBI Director James] Comey thing,
they’re able to keep the stories boosted all the way at the top because the
algorithm was able to fold a news story into the stories that were preceding it
in the last five days,” Vorhies added.
“They allowed the mainstream media to structure their stories so
that they could remain at the top of their search index, of their news index,”
he continued.
Vorhies’ new book is called “Google Leaks: A Whistleblower’s
Exposé of Big Tech Censorship.” The book dropped earlier this month.
“The madness of Big Tech and their attempt to mold our reality
into a version compatible with their globalist view of the world has never been
portrayed better than in this chilling account by Google whistleblower,” the book’s
listing on Amazon states.
“As a senior engineer at Google for many years, Zach was aware
of their bias, but watched in horror as the 2016 election of Donald Trump
seemed to drive them into dangerous territory. The American ideal of an honest,
hard-fought battle of ideas — when the contest is over, shaking hands and
working together to solve problems — was replaced by a different, darker ethic
alien to this country’s history,” the description adds.
Vorhies said he left
Google in 2019 with 950 pages of internal documents and gave them to the Justice
Department.
It is unclear what, if anything, the DOJ did with those
documents.
Vorhies also made the documents public with the help of Project
Veritas in 2019. The former employee previously told Project
Veritas and founder James
O’Keefe how he was able to get ahold of the documents from his
former employer in 2019.
“These documents were available to every single employee within
the company that was full time. And so as a full-time employee at the company,
I just searched for some keywords, and these documents started to pop up,” he
said.
“And so once I started finding one document and started finding
keywords for other documents and I would enter that in and continue this cycle
until I had a treasure trove and archive of documents that clearly spelled out
the system, what they’re attempting to do in very clear language,” he
concluded.
Vorhies spoke at
the Conservative
Political Action Conference earlier this year, alongside
O’Keefe and Project Veritas.
“Google, Facebook and the Big Tech oligarchs represent the
Trojan horse for totalitarianism,” he said.
