They decide what youneed to know [Letter to the editor]

For months on end, there has been a lot of talk about how Google manipulate data available on their search engine, and that they plan to phase out advertising cookies which will force advertisers to buy ad space through them.

The UK’s Daily Mail has put their money where their mouth is, and filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google over search engine censorship. The Daily Mail deserve to be one of the most popular news websites in the world. Google will think twice before smearing and blacklisting them as conspiracy theorists or propagandists. It has been proven without a doubt that... you get different web results to the same search, depending on the country you are in.

The results are also manipulated considering Google’s agenda and political views. So, you thought you had freedom of speech and freedom of access to information... you might have freedom of speech, but not the latter… They will decide what you need to know and what not. They also influence your right of having an opinion, because even if you are lucky enough that they don’t block you, you will only appear in search results where and if they allow it. Three hoorays for Daily Mail!
