Last week an article from the BBC said:
Google has said it is 'thinking deeply' about ways to improve search, after criticism over how some results - including ones discussing the Holocaust - were ranked.
[...] Google - which processes five billion searches a day - was keen to come up with a solution that was broadly applicable across all searches, rather than just those that have been noticed by users.
"It's very easy to take a search here and there and demand Google change something," explained Mr Sullivan, "and then the next day you find a different search and say, 'why didn't you fix that?' "
This week we see the results of their efforts: Google has modified PageRank to surface "more high-quality, credible content on the web":
Google's technology was changed again after people spoke out about how typing in "are Jews evil" in the autocorrect function resulted in offensive terms. Also, when people searched "who runs Hollywood?" the result, "Jews," was scrubbed last year. Google said its algorithm incorrectly gave "authority" to a site that suggested so because it was linked to over and over again.
But Heidi Beirich, intelligence project director for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said Tuesday that Google has a long way to go to "clean up its act." While searching for "did the Holocaust happen?" no longer shows one white supremacist site at the top, searching for "is the Holocaust real?" still provides a site up high that claims it's a hoax.

That's the Liberal Fascist plan right there.
1) Declare everybody who's right of your politics a Nazi/Bigot/Racist/Sexist
2) Convince Google/Facebook/Twitter not to allow links to any "extreme" material
3) Your opponents are effectively censored off the internet
You guys were fulling expecting to win this election in a landslide. Owning NBC, ABC, CNN, NYT, and 90% of all journalists was supposed to be enough. But since that didn't happen, you have to go all North Korea and shut down the internet for anybody who doesn't think like you. It's amazing how fast you little Hitlers have been moving at this.

Don't let them do this to you! Stand up for your ne0-nazi opinions, post under your actual user name! In fact, even better, use your real name and post your home address and the name of the bathhouse you frequent! That'll show them looser liberals what real al-t-white power looks like! (P.S., are you a "top" or a "bottom"?)

I love how "Tolerant" Liberals think it's hilarious to make gay jokes about their enemies, but will throw a gigantic fucking hissy fit and boycott you if anyone they don't like does it.

How offensive! You think this is a joke? He's alt-right, I'm alt-right, and we might want to hook up, OK? What are you, some kind of white genocide homophone? Besides, relations between real men has always been a part of the alt-right, going back to Spartans, Centurions, the US NAVY (at least when Runaway was in), and Milo and Peter. I am going to boycott you, (((AC)))!!!!

Milo wasn't actually in the Navy. He just sang the theme song:

So now, let's all dance to say goodbye to 2016 alt-Right style.
You are still welcome on my lawn.
