2. Which of the following examples serves as the clearest evidence for the video’s claim that Google’s search engine is NOT a neutral tool that provides objective results? Searching for “hotel nearest to the Taj Mahal” returns a very different selection of results than you get when searching for “hotel nearest to the Eiffel Tower.” Searching for “how many atoms are in the universe” returns only a rough estimate of the total number of atoms in the universe rather than the specific, objectively true number of atoms. Searching for “best movies to get over a breakup” returns results that are shaped by which websites have paid more to Google to optimize attention to their content from users with profiles and browsing histories similar to yours. Searching for “are whales fish or mammals” yields results that all categorize whales as mammals, even though the definition of mammal is just something humans made up. Correct! Wrong!
