Abstract
oogle has become synonymous with using the internet, but Google is not a perfect unbiased machine, and we should not be pretending that it is. The dominant idea that search results are objective or based on the popularity of links makes misogynistic or racist results appear normal and unavoidable, even when they have been debunked by scholars.
