Google is complaining about China’s censorship. But is Google impartial to begin with? Google has complete control over which websites get seen more. Their search results are not “organic” as most people think. Their search results can be very different from time to time. And I am not able to tell why there can be such big differences in search results from time to time. For example, one of my websites used to rank third in the search result on Google for a rather popular keyword, and ranked in the top five on Google for many other keywords. But for a period of time, that website was completely gone from Google search results. You could not find it by entering any keyword, not even by entering the name of the website. You could only find it by entering the domain name itself. Now Google has included that website in their search results again. But its ranking on Google is now so low – number 60th or so – it is almost never seen again on Google. All of these happened even though nothing on the website was ever changed at any point in time.

How can anyone be sure that Google is not controlling their search results?

I consider Google’s domination of Internet search a serious threat to freedom of information and freedom of speech.

By the way, I don’t know why I have the feeling of being used by Google. Google used that website of mine to get a lot of Internet users to use Google to find what they looked for with certain keywords. And after some time, these keywords became what these users used to find my website. Now when these same users use these same keywords to look for my website, they find other websites instead. It may sound unreasonable to have this kind of suspicion. But I just have it.
