Interesting Google Conspiracy

[estebanrey]

If I take the "s" off "conservatives", Google's autofill includes:

1) racists
2) republican
3) left or right
4) stupid

So I just think Google's autofill grammar sucks.

I don't get that.....

Take of the tinfoil hat you utter fool.

You really think Google are going to change their entire search page and search algorithm to suit some silly results. You must be on crack.

Do you know what goes on back the scenes to make searches happen?

Jesus, take a chill pill will you. I posted it because it's interesting not because I'm some Alex Jones nutter

You missed out the word 'party'

Turning off auto fill is better than a foil hat.

Surely the obvious answer is that 'Tory' or 'Tories' is only going to relate to the political party whereas 'conservative' has common meanings other than the party. So it would make sense Google doesn't autofil things about the Convservative party until it knows you are on about the party rather than the other meanings of 'conservative'.

Is that too logical and sensible meaning I am part of the sheeple?

 

[Avenged7Fold]

Yes your logic and ability to avoid jumping to ridiculous conclusions that match whatever political agenda you hold, makes you one of the 'sheeple'

Thank you for confirming this. Do I now get my free wooly fleece?

Yes but i am afraid you will have to part with any tinfoil hats you own as you are no longer qualified to wear it.

I'm sure they remove plenty of these suggestions on request, maybe it's just none of the other parties bothered to ask.

You would think the users of a PC enthusiast forum would have greater google fu skills

Huh. And Google were told they only had to pay 3% of their tax bill for the last decade last week.

Speculate away, chaps.

I'm curious how you know the details on Google's accounts. Do spill the info.

I read the news is how: "Google tax: David Cameron defends £130m UK tax deal" - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35416812

More fuel for the fire, sir?

The Tory party have had mainstream media outlets in their back pocket since before getting elected so this wouldn't surprise me at all.

This is absolutely true, I've said it no end of times on here.......it's not the public you need to win over, it's the media

Great, so that means you can detail it here then. So can you outline to me exactly what money that Google made in England that is covered by our tax laws and what the taxable rates are for that amount?

Thanks.

 

[Dj_Jestar]

3% as per that article that is quoting members of parliament. Ask them. Tata.

 

[leaskovski]

who came up with that 3% figure then? Oh not the HMRC or Google? Ok, so I guess we don't know the actual figures then.

If the HMRC could have got more, do you not think they would have done that? BTW, Gideon doesn't collect tax so really doesn't have a say in the matter.

They're not to everyone's taste, but it's a little dramatic.

Bad Bing!
