Google has banned thousands of Chinese fake new sites, some even claiming that the US is conducting experiments on humans.
Google says it has banned “thousands” of fake news websites from showing up in News and Discover tabs on its Search platform.
Your search results are free of “fake news services and websites serving Chinese propaganda” because Google has been on the warpath. A report claims that the Mountain View, California tech giant has blocked “thousands” of such websites from appearing in Google News and Google Discover tabs.
“By using private PR firms, the actors behind the information operations gain plausible deniability, obscuring their role in the dissemination of coordinated inauthentic content.” They include articles about Tawain, COVID-19, the South China Sea and other important Chinese topics which Western media will usually paint as negative for China and its rulers.
