Election Meddling: Google Algorithm Buri‘Blexit

Google is being accused of engaging in election meddling by burying Candace Owens’ Blexit website in its algorithm despite the website ranking number 1 on every other major search engine.

A user over at the Donald subreddit noticed the scandal and produced a series of screenshots to illustrate how Blexit, which is a campaign to encourage black people to leave the Democratic party, is being all but blacklisted by Google.

Typing ‘Blexit’ into Google results in nothing but negative news articles about the campaign, but that’s not the worse of it.

Google workers walk off job amid sexual harassment cases

Nov. 1 (UPI) – Hundreds of Google employees across the globe walked off the job Thursday to protest the tech giant's handling of sexual harassment cases involving executives.

The event occurred one day after Rich DeVaul, an executive with Google parent company Alphabet, resigned amid sexual harassment accusations.

The walkouts started in Asia, spreading across the globe with planned protests expected to start at 11:10 a.m. in each time zone. Workers posted photos on social media along with the hashtag #GoogleWalkout in cities including Singapore; Hyderabad, India; Berlin; Dublin; Zurich; London; and New York.

Thursday's walkout calls for several changes – an end to forced arbitration in cases of harassment and discrimination, pay and opportunity equality, and a clear process for reporting sexual misconduct. Protesters also want the company's chief diversity officer to answer directly to the CEO and an employee representative to be placed on Google's board.
