0:55Now PlayingIn a bombshell revelation, Erfan Azimi, has leaked evidence showing Google’s manipulation of search results on election topics. Azimi, a search-engine-optimization expert, shared screenshots of Google’s code, revealing the “ is ElectionAuthority” flag in Google’s API. This flag, linked to the hidden “go/election-authority” algorithm, allegedly allows Google employees to manually select websites as election authorities. These documents, inadvertently made public on GitHub, have been authenticated by Google. Azimi’s findings echo earlier leaks by SEO expert Rand Fishkin, which exposed Google's use of whitelists and ranking systems to influence election-related searches. Critics argue this manipulation favors left-leaning sources, raising concerns about political bias in Silicon Valley. Stay informed by subscribing to VT.COM for more updates on this developing story.
