Google these words

It did this in 2017 and then after it was publicised, it went back to giving the results as actual murdered women, and now it has changed back again.

This is more evidence that the world believes trans women are men, as if the world thought the were women, there would be no need to literally erase actual murdered women on searches.

Is it ok that I don't have a particular political identity but like the OP can smell a rat at 10 paces regardless of the forced agenda behind it.

Yeah, I'm on this seat too.

Broken record....I can't help it.

Ben Elton's Identity Crisis book AGAIN

It's such a perseptive book

I've just had a go and the top two hits are about trans women then there's the black bear in Canada but the fourth hit is Sandra Bland, a death from 2015. If I don't do a year then the top three are all about real black women before the TRA stuff appears.

What you have searched for previously will affect what your top hits are.

Wow. I knew what to expect when I googled it but actually seeing it...

I had better results with black womAn murdered 2019

Yes, I think the results are almost certainly skewed versus statistical probability but this search is not so much articles about multiple cases or trends so picks up a few non-trans stories (including the black bear, black men being shot by police, a policewoman shooting a neighbour .... not the unnewsworthy mass)

... that it rarely makes the news - there needs to be some “unusual aspect,” e.g. a triple homicide or a remote connection to a celebrity.

21 women are murdered every week in the US.

3 women every day.

It’s so commonplace

I had better results with black womAn murdered 2019, this was result #17
www.blackgirltragic.com

I just did this in an incognito search. 34 out of the first 37 results were trans. Of the other 3, 1 was a general violence against women page and 2 were about general rates of violence in the black community.

That is shocking actually. Have no black women been murdered in 2019? I'm going to try again and see how long until the first result that actually names a woman comes up.
Also, I'm not in the US or UK.

Genuine query here, when did identity politics become the norm? Do we all align with either left, right or liberal?

I don't quite get this ongoing idea that the tech companies are left wing. 100% agree, Perking. In any case, most are US based so perhaps liberal at best. A bit simplistic but European slightly left wing is crazy communist in the US. I often see things like "socialism doesn't work" regarding European countries and I just wonder to myself on what basis? Seems to be working ok to me. Policies and parties in Europe that are considered right of centre here would be socialist in the US. So tech giants being left wing has to be judged against that too. And you can be liberal and right wing at the same time.

Yes, it's picking up news stories rather than particularly picking up trans women. If you Google black women killed 2007, that's what what you get because there weren't any news stories about trans women for 2007. But also I'm sure it's to do with clicking. Of course clicking to get to the top is a ridiculous self propelling way of getting something at the top to stay at the top. That's why Boris Johnson sometimes says ludicrous things about buses (he likes to build models is now what comes up as it's a more recent news story than 350 million to the NHS bus) and bridges (NI Scotland bridge comes up instead of wasting money as mayor on Garden bridge).

I often find it frustrating if I'm googling something factual that has a name similar to a TV show or some other popular culture thing. Endless scrolling until I find the information I want.

I don't quite get this ongoing idea that the tech companies are left wing. I keep seeing it mentioned, but rather obviously there are also plenty of right wing people highly involved in tech – including tech giants like Peter Thiel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel

Robert Mercer moved from IBM into hedge funds, but has continued to use the profits to fund interesting tech projects like microtargetting voters in the Brexit referendum.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mercer

Trump's 2016 campaign actually had Facebook staff embedded in the campaign offices, to help optimise the campaign's microtargeting (different, often conflicting, ads to different segments of the population).

Those are just off the top of my head. I'd expect there to be a spread of left and right wing at most levels.

Yep. Not the first time it's been noticed.

And the libraries are still shutting scary stuff

The searach engines reflect the news stories published.

News outlets dont report on women of whatever race that are murdered by men, the highest number being domestic violence.

But for news outlets written or edited by men the murder of a trans woman, ie a man, is a news story. And the news story concentrates on the trans, not what is often the common factor, prostitution.

I dont know the number of women in prostitution murdered each year but they dont get the news coverage.

But criky even I have to admit how left wing Google, Twitter, Facebook, and all the Biggie's are.

I thought all this TRA stuff was very right wing, it's just the lefties have fallen for the poor oppressed trans minorities thing, when it seems more likely that there's just a lot of money to be made.

Big pharm Guy 1. People are too healthy these days and there is too much regulation on what poisons people (tobacco, glyphosate etc).
Big pharm Guy 2. Wouldn't it be great if perfectly healthy people wanted expensive surgery?
Guy 1. We already have cosmetic surgery, we need more than that.
Guy 2. Let me think... what about convincing people they need a sex change? We could start really early with kids, you know hormones and hormone blockers and it's a whole new market!

Anyway, right or left it's a disgrace. And the Google thing is very disturbing.

Doesn't Google return searches based on how many clicks pages have received? Or do you pay to have your stuff bumped? It's just I remember the English Disco Lovers trying to bump past the English Defence League a few years ago and asking people to click on their website. So money to fund an army of clickers would ensure trans women are the first ones returned in the search for murdered women.

How much is it the search engines, and how much is it down to what's considered newsworthy though?

So, I tried an advanced search.

Black women murdered in 2019 -Trans -transwoman -transgender

While this does contain some hits which match the main phrase, quite a few are historical, a couple are about South Africa (I didn't notice any such on the original search) and one is about a woman being killed by a black bear.

Using the original search and restricting the domain to .uk gives a mixed result (one of which is missing the word black)

Yes Errol, I think you're right.

Jennifer Pritzker.

Google "her".

(LOL)

Afaik Startpage is just a way to get google results without tracking.
