Dr. Robert Epstein, a renowned research psychologist, has once more warned against Google’s deceptive practices. The California Democrat has been conducting research for the past ten years after publishing a paper that showed how the tech giant may influence elections. He revealed Google’s result manipulation strategies to the New York Post by sharing his most recent discoveries, which require attention.
Over six million votes were allegedly swayed in favor of Joe Biden in the 2020 election, according to Epstein, as a result of Google’s deceptive algorithm. With their virtual monopoly, this tech giant systematically promoted negative news about then-President Trump and elevated positive linkages to Vice President Biden. Additionally, Google’s homepage featured Get Out The Vote messages that were mostly directed at Democratic voters.
According to Epstein’s most recent research, 76% of the time, YouTube’s “Up Next” recommendations for adults favor left-leaning sources. By using the average scores from three nonpartisan groups that evaluate media bias and specify whether the sources are liberal, conservative, or centrist, he assessed this.
The preliminary data reveals a shocking pattern for kids and teenagers, with liberal videos being suggested an astounding 96% of the time. This behavior is alarming because it demonstrates how ruthlessly these online platforms are pursuing our children. These tech behemoths, in Epstein’s opinion, think they are unstoppable and are not accountable. We need to deal with this problem right away.
Only 38% of YouTube’s video material is left-leaning, according to preliminary data; the remainder is either right- or centrist-leaning. However, left-leaning information predominates in search results and suggestion lists.
In 2020, renowned journalist Matt Taibi expressed his worries to Congress about the censorship and influence tactics used by large tech companies, even using Google as an example. Taibi asserts that as a result of this manipulation, the news media have effectively become a branch of a state-sponsored thought-policing system. The Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government heard his testimony, which emphasized the pressing need for openness and accountability in this matter.

“We learned Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation ‘requests’ from every corner of government: the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA.”
