    I'll post this here rather than in the news section because I don't have a link to it but I do know that Google has just been accused by someone credible of manipulating search engine results in favor of Hillary. This isn't the first time that Google has done something similar, and I believe the last one was substantiated.

    The scary thing is that Google is planning to include a fact-check feature in its search engine, giving them the ability to determine whether something is true or untrue, given their obvious biases.

    Google now is bringing out fact check on their search engine which means they will give you their side of anything you look for.

    If this is true then Google is not being fair with the American voters. I have seen how politicians here would go at lengths just to get an edge in the voting and I think it is not impossible to use the internet for that purpose. In our last elections this May of 2016, the social media was rife with accusations that did not prove anything. In fact, even a senator named Trillanes came out with a supposed expose that one presidential candidate named Duterte had hidden wealth in the bank (named and even identified the bank account number). But after the elections, those accusations were not proved and just died of natural causes (lack of interest and being moot and academic). Fortunately Duterte won.
