You are here Google Now Admits its Search Isn't Neutral

There's new evidence from Google itself, that Google's search results are not neutral, as Google has long publicly represented them to be, and as Google expects everyone on the Open Internet to be.
- (Kudos to famed trustbuster Gary Reback for unearthing the core information that I spotlight in this post; it is from Mr. Reback's friend-of-the-court brief for the Open Book Alliance, which opposes the Google Book Settlement. Don't miss pages 14-16.)
Google now admits that its search results are not neutral despite longstanding public representations to the contrary.
In sum, Google admits it is manipulating its search results non-neutrally, despite the longstanding promise on its corporate website that it would "never manipulate rankings to put our partners higher."
- Moreover, Google is also thumbing its nose at DOJ antitrust authorities by ignoring DOJ's strong statement of interest views concerning how Google should operate its world's largest digital book archive.
