Google is excelling again - as the whole “uncensored” Big-Tech IT now.
The short summary is that for nearly a year, Google was hiding Proton Mail from search results for queries such as ‘secure email’ and ‘encrypted email’. This was highly suspicious because Proton Mail has long been the world’s largest encrypted email provider.
That’s such a misleading thing to post! Thanks for adding this for lazy ppl like me
@pooky55@lemm.ee - best practice is adding [2016] to end of headline
Lemmy’ll let ya edit it now still!
I believe the reason it was posted is because Proton recently linked to the article again on Twitter, claiming that Proton Pass is appearing too far down in Google’s search results relative to its popularity. This is when searching for “password manager” (Google’s own password manager is the first result).
It’s still misleading
For sure, I’m not suggesting otherwise. Just giving some additional context as to why it may have been posted again.
In what sense? The Google and other companies are censoring extensively. Maybe it started already in 2016 but now there is tons of evidence and it’s properly documented. So the discussion is appropriate.
