Google is censorsed (as are Facebook, YouTube and Twitter), not only on grounds of copyright or indecency, but because certain ideas are deemed as unwelcome on the network.
Google has been engaging in censorship since at least 2010.[1] In October 2017, Andre Damon criticised it on the World Socialist Web Site for adjusting its algorithms to reduce traffic to "left-wing, progressive and anti-war websites, which cut the search traffic of 13 leading news outlets by 55 percent since April". The World Socialist Web Site reported an 85% drop in search referrals over that period.[2]
Hidden censorship
Censorship is harder to detect with search engines than social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter.
