Mike Adams of NaturalNews, publicly unveiled his new 'pre-filtered' "GoodGopher" search engine.
From the 'about' section......
Their claim (found in the video) that Google .... 'penalizes or bans independent websites' needs to be proved, or at least proved to me.
I'm not saying it couldn't or doesn't happen, but I can certainly find any 'alternative' health or "independent truth" idea or website I could imagine. I could find perhaps, "vegan neo-nazi" , a phrase I just imagined while typing this, and it's there.
I could also find hard criticism about Google the company....on a Google search.
If Google can't or won't stop these type search results about themselves, why would they bother censoring anything Mike Adams thinks his followers are interested in ?
This is another attempt to help people isolate their ideas and their search results. It's another way of 'searching for things they already believe in', and confirming their bias.
The hypocrisy can be stunning....where in order to avoid the accused 'mass media' selective censorship, their answer seems to be outright selective censorship.
