People wanted and used google precisely because it was "unbiased" and "unlocalized". It's why it became so popular.

The only reason for the biased localized results is due to corporate pressure from media and news industries.

Also, you are conflating localized and unbiased results with spam and scam. Nobody is saying google shouldn't remove scams and spam. People are just saying they want unbiased results.

That's contrary to everything I know about Google's history, including the origins of Backrub and PageRank. Please provide citations in your comment.
