Google: check this out (there are subtitles)

 

If I search for something, and you search for something at the very same time, We may get very different results! There is no standard Google anymore?

 

Think about it, for a second!

this is really interesting...

 

I did know that Google displayed different search pages in China for example, where it's censored (there was this thing you could pull yourself to search "Tianmen" on the chinese Google and you'd get not a word about the massacre). But I didn't know that personalisation has already gone that far.

I have really noticed how my searched have changed in the last year or two.

I am really opposed to some algorithm dictating what I see on the internet.

The guy in the video makes a valid point that I don't think enough people realize right now.
