More proof surfaces of political bias against conservatives by Google, including the company’s attempt to rig the 2020 Election against Trump.
Thanks to a Google whistle blower and the work of Project Veritas, a video surfaced of Google’s “Head of Responsible Innovation”, Jen Gennai, arguing against proposals to break up the company because it would cause Google to fail at “preventing the next Trump situation.”
Gennai later claimed that she had used “some imprecise language” and didn’t know she was being filmed.
“Google has repeatedly been clear that it works to be a trustworthy source of information, without regard to political viewpoint. In fact, Google has no notion of political ideology in its rankings. And everything I have seen backs this up. Our CEO has said ‘We do not bias our products to favor any political agenda.’ He’s somewhat more powerful and authoritative than me,” Gennai later said.
But others called out her doublespeak:
Google's Gennai made a classic PR blunder of responding immediately to breaking news. She didn't know what Veritas had.
She issued a statement and then a day later was contradicted with evidence from Veritas proving that Google staff recommend censoring based on politics.

Meanwhile, the transparency and ethics team is talking about “correctly identifying far-right content” and at least turning off recommendations for content they deem is “far right.”
Project Veritas also released a video of a member allegedly from Google’s transparency and ethics team who described prominent conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson as “Nazis using the dog whistles.”

“I can receive these recommendations regardless of the content of what I’m looking at, and I have recorded thousands of internet users sharing the same experience,” Liam continues. “I don’t think correctly identifying far-right content is beyond our capabilities. But if it is, why not go with Meredith’s suggestion of disabling the suggestions feature? This could be a significant step in terms of user trust.”
