This might explain why we get different results

Found this in one of the legal sites I peruse.

That certainly explains why, when I google "Brazil," ...

... I get mostly mostly porn sites featuring women with Brazil cuts. No telling what I'd get if I googled "Peter Rabbit."

Very interesting - and somewhat scary. To me, this feels like a form of censorship.

"The danger is that the technology is giving us what it thinks we want to see; not necessarily what we should see. "

Or necessarily what we really DO want to see. Someone's algorithms may not match our reality. How frustrating...

A form of thought control? Leading sheeple? I'm sure there's

more one can think of to explain this.
