I don’t know if I’m paranoid, but it is so much harder for me to find links for things I’ve seen to share with people.

Googling “Zelensky blonde hair blue eyes bbc” did not bring up anything referencing his sick comments. Only when I added “Twitter” did I find tweets that had clipped it.

I’m not able to find anything about Yemen being attacked recently and the most recent news says that Yemen launched a rocket.

Am I conspiracy-brained, are there just not any sources reporting on anything inconvenient to Western hegemony, or are they being buried by the algorithm?

    I don't think Google needs a conspiracy to bury counter-narratives to the official propaganda. Google ranks the results after engagement so if a billion libs retweets Ghost of Kiev bullshit that gets to drown out those having less NATO -friendly takes.

      Column A and column B (I think they had to tweak the alg cause of the "fake news" stuff, and plenty of independent sources get caught in that net)
