Google cannot be trusted.

Hey at least when you type in "google cannot be" it is correct.

Thanks, Patrick. Been using DDG for several months now. Google News is horribly biased, which made me consider changing

Try searching for buy semi auto carbine on google and duckduckgo
Google gives some store results but a lot of search results are anti gun crap
Duckduckgo gives you what you asked for

Google tailors search results based on your specific history. I have searched for guns/ammo, and prices in the past few months, so maybe thats why they give me this legit result


For auto suggest I compared google to duck and bing, and got similar results for duck and bing.

google does seem to censor the auto-suggest, but they somewhat do so for trump also. Try searching "does trump have heart" and you should clearly get some suggestions about his supposed heart attacks, but you dont. OTOH, "biden deme" gives me no suggestions, but "trump hear" suggests "trump heart attack". So they got some bias going on.

My search results are clearly biased. When I search "does biden have dementia" the results seems fairly mitigating for biden. If I search "does trump have heart attacks" the results are pretty orange man bad. This could just be googles liberal bias. In my experience, their search, as well as google news, surfaces lib sites much higher than conservative ones, which will impact a bias in the results.

This topic came up 4 years ago also. Google state that their autosuggest is designed to steer away from suggesting anything derogatory. (At least for people still living.)

In fact, with all the Hillary Clinton has done, the phrase "was hillary c" comes up with a single suggestion: "was hillary clinton in a sorority". Funny that's the only thing Google has that isn't derogatory!

I got to "Does Biden have dementi" and it wouldn't add the a. Meanwhile, on Bing, you just type in the word "does" and it comes up as the first suggestion.

@Al_Sharpton_for_President Two news sites that present both sides so you can kinda triangulate between them to find the truth:
