To be fair, this is just the automated version of the kind of brainwashing that happens in cults and religions.

And also in the more extreme corners of social media and the MSM.

It's not that Google is saintly, it's that the general background noise of related manipulations is ignored because it's collective and social.

We have a clearly defined concept of responsibility for direct individual harm, but almost no concept of responsibility for social and political harms.
