The idea that Google was actively and manually censoring its search engine results was something that was itself once classed as conspiracy.
But new research has shown that Google does in fact manually manipulate its search results for content, more than rivals such as DuckDuckGo, Bing, and even Russia’s Yandex.
In fact, Russia’s Yandex is the search engine that has censored some “conspiracy theories” the least, according to new research.
On Wednesday, researchers from the University of Zurich published a study claiming that Yandex promotes “conspiracy theories” more than any other search engine. The research involved the top five search engines; Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yandex.
