Does this disturb you?

Results are tailored to who you are, based on your search history and your click history. Since you often click on things you agree with, you keep getting more and more of what “it” thinks you like and will agree with. Which means other stuff gets demoted (effectively filtered).

picture related. Two different people getting two different results.

A liberal gets results supporting Obama, while a conservative might get the opposite.
