Googleware

Lovelace algorithm, 1843.¹

Imagine the ability to abort free speech at will, and to do it dynamically and retroactively. Google has the capability to squelch internet content, such as this, using a stealth search algorithm, an algorithm adaptable to the highest bidder.

Google since inception has analyzed "every" user interaction, parsing sentences into constituent elements, e.g., nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives... compliant with grammar and punctuation, processing it with an ever-evolving proprietary ultra sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. As with any new technology, "Googleware" can conform to either good or evil, "aye, there's the rub."

I routinely publish a variety of commentary on my Google based blogs. To verify search engine retrieval, I recently copied and entered strings of text from random posts published over a number of years. In "EVERY" case, when Google Advanced Search searched for the exact string, the link for the post immediately popped up, "EXCEPT" when the words "Clinton" or "Obama" in conjunction with a less-than flattering "adjective" were contained in the post.

Google's dynamic and retroactive search algorithm at Google's inclination prioritizes and enhances some Web content while eliminating other content from search results effectively sanctioning it to silence.

Google's search algorithm has changed the course of history in every context, contingent on the highest bidder. In a "political" context, the ramifications span the better part of two decades, with the freedom of speech the most critical casualty.
