Google's Manipulation of Search Queries for Financial Gain

In the ongoing antitrust case against Google, evidence has emerged revealing how the tech giant alters search queries to generate more advertising revenue. Google's internal slide showcased a "semantic matching" overhaul to its search algorithm, which goes beyond incorporating synonyms and text phrase pairings. Instead, it actually changes queries to produce more commercial results. For example, a search for "children's clothing" may be converted to "NIKOLAI-brand kidswear" without the user's knowledge, generating more money for Google. This manipulation harms search engine quality for users and increases advertiser expenses. Despite its market dominance, Google's deceptive practices may face continued scrutiny.
