What is going on here? Is Google a BJP mouthpiece all of a sudden? Take a look at this.

One thing is rather obvious with Google news, if you keep reading a certain kind of news, it gives you more of that. For example, if I read more science news on certain topics, it gives more of that. If I don't read sports news, it gives me less of that. So, to some extent, it fits the selection to user's taste.

About poverty report: it might have been removed from the original or it didn't attract enough hits to be on page 1. It is really tough to be on page 1. It has to appeal to a lot of people even on the chosen keywords. I would think poverty reports may not be as popular.

Buddy take a look at the BBC investigation, it is pretty self explanatory. This is far beyond normal, tailored results.

Yes the algorithm is supposed to prioritise your most clicked subjects - but it has been subverted.

SEO itself is a gaming of the Google search process

The fact that negative news on extreme poverty is buried under hundreds of duplicate articles with the same fudged data is the problem.

Haha yeah pretty much, if only whining about India and its internal issues like Kashmir or treatment of minorities was a Pakistani narrative only to get ridiculed by others for their idiotic and nonsensical statements and rightfully so. They are in for a real shock when they learn that Kashmir isn't Pakistani nor is Pakistan administered Kashmir Kashmiri.

Funny you mention this, it is always the Pakistanis who look the most Indian and get confused for Indians in foreign countries who talk about the IVC and how it was "Pakistani". I have encountered many such Pakistanis myself who look and act more Indian than an Indian him/herself but will say to your face that they have nothing in common with Indians or "South Asia", they don't realise how much they make a fool of themselves.

But of course, it is all an Indian conspiracy. Those endians are conspiring to take over the world and fool them to defame a pious and developed peace loving country like Pakistan. Damn!

I have a feeling its the situation in USA that is depressing you.

Google also has feedback feature for all results. I am sure they are reporting en-masse anything anti-Indian to get it removed from search results.

whoa !

sure you not false flagging here, man ?

bolded bit : I've heard as much, ad nauseam/ad infinitum from actual Kashmiris here. They say the people/culture/language/even food is very different across the fence but still remain slightly (Kashmiri) nationalist and would like to take over Pak held Kashmir lol.

Pak held "azad" Kashmir is essentially north Punjab, GB are a different culture altogether.

and they're very proud of having retained their OG Kashmiriyat despite all the troubles and their grouses with the Indian state, but they acknowledge India done much better than Pak have over in the "azad" part they refer to as Kashmir.

---------------------------------

anecdote: how I know is from a really good childhood Kashmiri friend of mine who is now based somewhere in the Arab world, and they have a lot of contact with Pak expats/immigrants there too. So they know the score pretty well.. straight from horse's mouth waali baat.. just relaying what I heard.. cant confirm or deny the veracity of their claims.

Obviously google and other US social media apps are in bed with the Indians.

Pakistan should ban google and all other US social media apps like Facebook, WhatsApp Twitter, Instagram, Youtube etc. and adopt Chinese apps like Baidu, Tiktok, WeChat, Weibo, Youku instead.

Don't adopt Chinese apps they are full of spyware

You have plenty of young techies around. Develop your own apps in local languages.

A country of 220 million can make any locally develop app successful.

It's true Google is a BJP mouthpiece

India’s Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu handed over the award to Pichai.

Should be replaced with Baidu asap!

These platforms are not "in bed" with the Indians. They are run by the Indians and are therefor used for their purposes. If you asked a million people from UK/US/Canada about this propaganda, they would have no clue. So the ability of hosting and running these platforms is being "exploited" and no one needs to know frankly no one cares about Pakistan (despite what we are made to believe through political bullshit). We as a nation need to do A LOT of hard work to become a country other nation's care about positively (being scared of our nukes going on wrong hands is essentially the ONLY worry the West has about Pakistan).

We can't "ban" these platforms, what would we do tomorrow? Leave the planet and go live on Mars because the world doesn't think too positively of us? To combat this, WE need to act like a nation, ABOVE our crazy political affiliations. Read my post above to see more detail on this. Step number 1, is to act together. When we see threads on Twitter or on here, etc, and these are about our boys and jawans getting killed or our citizens getting killed, we respond together. We don't insult and verbal abuse the ONLY institute that would give blood to protect us from these BUTCHERS! Today our boys from Zaraar took out a fraction of this butcher factory inflicted upon us at the CTD regional HQ. On threads related to this incident, I still see many responses politically aligned to insult the army, without realizing just today, our Army jawans put their lives at risk and gladly accept shahadat if it came to it but the CTD hostage terrorists were killed. ONE response from our nation online would've shown the world we are together and a strong nation. All political drama aside!

So happens that this pops up on Yahoo! This is an example of what we are discussion here. BBC decides to post Pakistan's profile on yahoo news. The only REAL thing they have to say about us is that due to Islamic militancy, we couldn't become a developed nation. How nice of a message? I hope the readers read this message seriously and bring in the cohesiveness we are supposed to have as ONE nation. Our political views can differ but not to an insulting degree that's detrimental to our nation.

Something that never existed to begin with cant die. Any sane person outside of Pakistan would instantly reject any Pakistani narrative.

it depends on the narrative itself, not who it is from. If the narrative is a full truth, it is totally acceptable.

There are a billion Indians who do not have access to food, water, sanitation and internet.
