Google’s biased search algorithm actually flipped seats in the 2018 US midterm elections, according to senior research psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology. Epstein, who received his PhD in psychology from Harvard University and is the former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today, said that the search engine’s “dramatically biased” results could have shifted over 78 million votes to Democrats.
Epstein’s study of three California House races found that Google played a major role in flipping the Republican-held seats to Democrats by controlling what millions of undecided voters saw when they searched 500 election-related terms.
Unlike Bing and Yahoo, Google’s results showed a “significant liberal bias” and with 90 percent of the search engine’s market share in the US such a bias has enormous influence.
“People trust algorithmic output. They trust Google. They think because it’s generated by a computer, they don’t see the human hand – they think it’s impartial and objective and, because of that, their opinions change,” Epstein said.
