Deep dives
The Search Engine Manipulation Effect (SEME)
The SEME illustrates how search engines can dramatically influence user opinions and decisions. One exposure to biased search results can shift perspectives by anywhere from 20% to 80%, with repeated exposures elevating this to 90%. This manipulation is especially concerning in electoral contexts, where undecided voters could be shifted from a 50-50 split to 90-10 based solely on search suggestions. This underlines the power tech companies hold over democratic processes without users being aware of the influence being exerted on their decisions.
