Quote:You have totally missed the point of this thread apparently. Call it autocorrect, autocomplete, or suggestions, I meant it all the same. Regardless, I already switched from Google. They are free to do whatever they want.

 

You are totally fine with a prolific global enterprise that impacts billions on this planet taking sides in the US presidential elections in the form of censorship. That is fine. I don't think its a good thing from an ethics perspective, personally.

 

IF they are intentionally doing something like that, then I agree that it's wrong from an ethical point of view.  I wouldn't exactly call it "censorship" though.  After all, you can actually type in exactly what you are searching for and get good results.  They aren't blocking you from doing so.  If they were, then it would be "censorship".  They are only "suggesting" that they know what you are searching for and try to save you from the precious second or two that it takes to type in your query.
