Google has been manipulating search results for a long time now. Mostly, it has been an ad-hoc affair, e.g. trying to protect Hillary last year by scrubbing popular search terms or autocomplete that hurt her.
Now, Google is starting to systematically scrub search results that powers that be don't want people to see. That means every person who wants to stay informed will wish to use a different search engine, one that is content-neutral. That is a big ask, as Google has such a stranglehold on the market.
Two questions come to mind.
1. What is the next best search engine? Nominations?
2. When do Google's patents for internet searches expire?
