The news shows up as a single sentence blurb under the support page for Google’s Autocomplete policies, under the ‘Elections related predictions’ header: This isn’t to say you won’t see any election-related content. Typing in ‘election’ shows suggestions for election results, locations, dates, and more. The intention is simply removing bias. That said it doesn’t seem to completely work; simply searching for “why trump” currently shows “why trump will win the election 2020 map.” This could be interpreted as leaning towards one candidate, but it also leads to a specific type of content that could benefit users of both parties. Figuring out the line between what is and isn’t allowed is an unenviable task. I imagine the company will need to have a team of people constantly looking for new potential search results as the conversations around the election evolve. Still, it’s a step in the right direction. Via Engadget
