Google routinely censors search results for certain keywords on its YouTube video platform to suppress conservative-leaning subject matter, according to a blacklist of censored terms leaked to Breitbart News.
The blacklist, mentioned in an internal discussion leaked by an anonymous Google representative to Breitbart, shows how Youtube buried videos pertaining to topics including: abortion, Maxine Waters and anti-gun activist David Hogg.
YouTube in one instance was prompted to manually intervene in search results last year, Breitbart notes, after a Slate writer contacted the company about pro-life videos showing up when “abortion” is used as a key search term.
