So that query is inflammatory. The question would be more about other political queries which might not be PC but also aren’t inflammatory.

Should they suppress queries about area51, Scientology, The_Donald, The_Müller, r/politics, Trump is a Russian stooge, etc?

You can still search for it, but it shouldn't be auto-completing conspiracy theories

[matheusmoreira]

If some conspiracy theory is popular, it should absolutely show up in search and autocompletion. Google isn't the arbiter of truth and shouldn't be reducing visibility of anything on the basis of its "conspiracy theory" status. There are many theories that were ultimately proven true.

It’s possible that censoring them drives more attention to them. I’m not sure it’s actually helping Hilary to hide that content.

“Check out what they won’t let you see or talk about!” is one of their main marketing draws.

And if Google was just a cold representation of human behavior (not bots though) then it might help people develop their own editorial voice.

I don’t know. It’s their call at the end of the day.

Some conspiracy theories are just that. Quack theories with no basis.

But others turn out to be true. How do you deal with that?

[ehvatum]

You "suicide" everyone with the credibility and potential motivation to expose you, and you use your board-level blackmail influence at numerous publicly traded compaines to establish narratives that associate your political opponents with your own crimes, I think.
