Det kan tenkes at jeg nevnte om Google for noen dager siden

Testimony during Google’s antitrust case revealed that the company may be altering billions of queries a day to generate results that will get you to buy more stuff.

Kanskje ikke er så veldig sant.

My understanding is that at least one other reporter covering this trial is struggling to reproduce Gray’s story, in part because none of the exhibits posted so far seem to support these claims. In addition, Google issued a specific denial to Zoë Schiffer of Platformer:

“Google does not delete queries and replace them with ones that monetize better as the opinion piece suggests, and the organic results you see in Search are not affected by our ads systems,” the company told us.

Dog, det endrer ikke det faktum at jeg uansett har begynt å kagiere mer enn jeg googler.
