The allegation Epstein made to Congress - and in his "white paper" - is that Google themselves intenitonally skewed the results of web searches. Given the numerous ways in which web search results can be artificially skewed by third parties - see my earlier posts - that has not been established.

Intelligent, thinking people - those who actually know how to use a search engine, for example - will not change their votes based on the order of items appearing in search results. Most of us know better than to only look at the top 10 hits. Gullible people, OTOH, are readily influenced by all sorts of manipulations. If the order of search results is sufficient to change your vote, then there are thousands of other influences that are at least as likely to do so.

FYI, Google is a private, for-profit, company. Their entire revenue stream is based on click-throughs to advertisers' sites. Same with facebook, twitter, etc., etc. Are you really surprised to discover this? If so, you're even more gullible than was previously apparent.
