Creationists Manipulating Search Results

Posted by Soulskill on from the pi-is-exactly-3 dept.

reallocate writes: It looks like some Creationists are manipulating search results to ensure websites pushing religion are appearing in response to queries about science. Ask Google "What happened to the dinosaurs?" and you'll see links to Creationist sites right at the top. (And, right now, several hits to sites taking note of it.) Google has a feedback link waiting for you to use it.

    Doesn't Google filter results presumably based in part on links and subjects you've visited across the web before? Sounds like a creationist witch hunt to me.

    Indeed. I'm no creationist but it always seems to me I hear "Right Wing manipulating search results!" when the left wing does it every seems to say 'Oh yeah, no problem.'

    Spare me.
