Video streaming platform Rumble published a video this week of former Google vice president of search products Marissa Mayer admitting that Google Search provides rigged search results.
Google, which owns Rumble competitor YouTube, "arranges" the results on its search page in such a way as to prioritize the official narrative on a given issue or topic, Mayer said. And in all cases, Google's products are shown at the very top of any search so they will receive the most hits.
Rumble's legal team is credited with unearthing the video, which you can watch below. In short, Mayer is presenting the things she says in the below video to a room full of Google recruits, meaning the next generation of Google employees:

Rumble filing antitrust lawsuit against Google
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski tweeted the above video to blow the lid on Google and YouTube concerning the unfair way they present information. Regardless of popularity, metrics or other quantifiable criteria, Google and YouTube serve up what Google and YouTube want you to see, not necessarily what you want to see.

Everything that Google and YouTube show to users is based solely on Google's decision to "make it so," Mayer told the room. And because this is now concrete proof of corruption, Rumble believes that it has what it needs to successfully win an antitrust lawsuit against Google.
According to Rumble, Google is guilty of self-preferencing antitrust violations. It even goes so far as to promote certain stock websites over others in the Google Finance module, for example.
"We were actually ordering the links based on various published metrics like Comscore and media metrics," Mayer explained about how stock sites were displayed prior to the existence of Google Finance.
Instead of showing the top five finance sites based on their popularity, which is part of what a search engine is supposed to do, Google Finance always puts "the Google link first."
According to Mayer, it is perfectly "fair" for stock and finance websites to be prioritized by Google rather than the public, though she did not specify how or why this is fair.
"It will be very interesting to see how the U.S. courts view this practice," writes Didi Rankovic for Reclaim the Net. "Not least because in the same video, Mayer is heard confirming that it didn't stop with Google Finance."
Where else did it go, you are probably now asking? According to Mayer, Google Maps is also the first thing that shows up in Google Search when searching for "maps" or other directions-related contents.
"So when we rolled out Google Finance, we did put the Google link first," Mayer explained. "But for Google Maps, again, it's the first link, and so on and so forth. And after that, it's ranked usually by popularity."
The way that Mayer so casually and playfully revealed all of this to her audience, laughing all the while at what Rankovic describes as Google displaying "the unbearable lightness of breaking antitrust law," is something that Rumble hopes to capitalize on in court.
"Rumble is suing Google as an unfair competitor, a giant dominating the market and from that position, preferencing its own products, against antitrust rules," Rankovic explains.
