    Congress has written to Google putting Google on warning for the use of Emermerals.

    These are search results or web presentation that are engineered to promote an agenda rather than return and show natural results, that a highly transitory.

    A sort of subliminal messaging for Search Engines and Web Browsing.

    Yes you are being manipulated.

    Do you have a link? All I could find was testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary subcomittee by Robert Epstein (re@aibrt.org) on 6/16/2019.

    Nothing subliminal about it -- it's manipulating search results and breaking trust.

    I'd like to see a web where search providers and social networks are held to expectations of impartiality if they want Section 230 protections. As soon
    as you tweak the experience or the results, or charge for preferred location in results to make money, you're no longer a common carrier and you should
    be required to manage your content - and be liable for it.



    ... If it isn't broken, I can fix it.
