Google Refuses to Show Negative Search Suggestions About Black Lives Matter
|
[Breitbart] Google’s search autocomplete feature fails to generate negative suggestions for the term "BLM," in stark contrast to other search engines.
Typing the words "BLM is" on Google currently only returns the suggestion "BLM israel." It does not show a long list of suggestions, which is unusual for a popular search term and suggests that a list of suggestions formerly existed but was removed.
Typing "BLM is " with a space after "is" generates no search suggestions at all — highly unusual for a search term that has recently seen a massive spike in attention from users.
On DuckDuckGo, Google’s privacy-focused competitor, searching for "BLM is " generates a normal list of suggestions, some of which have negative connotations.
This story has echoes of the 2016 election, in which it was discovered that Google ‐ in contrast to Bing and Yahoo ‐ was not generating negative search suggestions for the search term"Hillary Clinton," despite the popularity of such searches among users.
