It's been a topic of contention for years now. They were first found to be doing it to favor businesses that use their advertising a while ago. Now they're being found doing other stuff. https://www.businessinsider.com/google-manipulates-search-results-report-2019-11

It says they censor autocomplete for sensitive topics like abortion, guns, and their blacklist includes "... sites as required by U.S. or foreign law, such as those featuring child abuse or with copyright infringement"

Look, I know Google is obviously a US state arm but the claim that they "started censoring leftist sources" is incorrect if I can still search and access the entirety of the Chinese intranet, Cuba intranet, Wikileaks, GrayZone, RT, ML/conspiracy social media figures etc.

I know YouTube has censored many videos of Uyghur families debunking the propaganda and has tons of bullshit state funded channel warnings but Google Search is seemingly clean for now (for whatever reason)
