Google Blames Wikipedia for GOP ‘Nazi’ Label
breitbart ^ | CHARLIE NASH

Google blamed “vandalism” at Wikipedia for inaccurate search results on their platform, which claimed the California GOP promotes Nazism, however Google failed to note that they prioritize results from Wikipedia as an authoritative source of information. “We have systems in place that catch vandalism before it impacts search results, but occasionally errors get through, and that’s what happened here,” claimed Google in a statement. “This would have been fixed systematically once we processed the removal from Wikipedia, but when we noticed the vandalism we worked quickly to accelerate this process to remove the erroneous information.”

Despite Google’s efforts to shift the blame onto Wikipedia’s often far-from-accurate information, Google prioritizes results from the site on their search engine, frequently placing Wikipedia information at the top of the page as an authoritative source.

Google had the wrong picture for Judge Ellis (who recently slammed Mueller over the appointment letter) when I googled Ellis a few weeks ago.

The picture they showed was of the convicted felon Cong. William Jefferson.

I don’t know if they’ve fixed it, because I don’t go to google anymore.

” they prioritize results from Wikipedia as an authoritative source of information.”

Because why?

In the not too distant future, Google will become an official enemy of the country.
It is an enemy now, but not an official one.
And many of us who are flight qualified can make them pay - without use of drones, AI, or anything else.

Why?

Because they are lazy computer nerds and it does not cost them anything to link there

Google relies on Wiki???

I turn to Wiki for some information, but you can't rely on it for anything remotely political.

Why don’t they come clean and defend their position.

They actually do believe that the GOP are Nazis, as crazy as that statement is because the Nazis were socialists.

“...I don’t go to google anymore.”

I use Startpage and DuckDuckGo. Hate to say that the results are sometimes about the same.

Yeah, a lib customer said something to me about R’s being Nazi’s, I think during the 2012 POTUS election, and I said “Yes, National Socialist German Workers Party definitely sounds like a bunch of Republicans!”

Google is so incredibly biased

But their image search platform is far superior to anything

Google seems to download a lot more hidden stuff on my computer than DuckDuckGo does, when I’m just doing a simple search.

I don’t know what it is, but I can see that google is using a lot more disk space than DuckDuck.

So good-bye google!
