The Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSA), Brazil’s top election court, fined Fernando Haddad (President Jair Bolsonaro’s leftist opponent) for having a contract with Google to manipulate search results during the election.

Luiz Edson Fachin, of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), ruled that the PT candidate for the presidency, Fernando Haddad, paid Google to highlight negative content and manipulated searches to point to a website with negative coverage of Bolsonaro.

Google wasn’t fined because they claimed that as soon as they were notified by the court of the irregularities they dishonored the contract.

This is a common practice by Google in the United States.

Google manipulates search results for conservatives and conservative publishers to point to negative articles and hit pieces.

Canary in the coal mine.

The current shenanigans going on in our government pales relative to this......a very small number of tech giants being allowed to stick their thumbs on the scales of objectivity.

Control the publicity and narrative - control the political outcomes. Particularly when we have such a disengaged and ignorant populous....they get manipulated and don't have a clue it's being done........

Sounds fishy in India also, although they claim its for "behavior." Still its Facebook determining what is "misleading."

So Russians can't interfere in our elections, but large, multi-national corporations can do whatever they want to manipulate the process?
