Who, What, Why: How does Google's Autocomplete censor predictions?
- Recruited more than 1,000 people from the UK to fight for it.
- But Google, alerted to the Autocomplete options by the BBC, had by 1030 GMT removed "isis" as one of the suggestions
- The fourth suggestion was "isis".
Predictions are based upon various factors, these include location, general search preferences) e (popluar searches). Isis is known as a highly effective user of social media, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, with which it spreads its messages and disseminates pictures videos, encouraging its followers to do the same. I think that the removal of this autocomplete prediction is a good move by Google but should have censored it in good time so the people wanting to join ISIS would be much lower. Google have influenced and partial to blame for the ISIS attacks due to the promotion of how to join the Islamic group. Think they should take this as a warning to block any other related searches like terror attacks like YouTube have done.
