Monsanto does not want anyone to know that glyphosate causes cancer. Glyphosate is one of the main ingredients in the weed killer known as Roundup. In the past year, over 18,000 lawsuits have been filed against Bayer, the owner of Monsanto, due to thousands of people contracting cancer from using their product.
Instead of settling out of court and admitting that the scientific research shows that glyphosate causes non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Monsanto has doubled down on litigation by keeping all of these cases languishing in the courts. To claim that glyphosate does not cancer, Monsanto paid Google an unspecified amount to push all articles that are about this topic further down on their search engines. Before they push this post, let others know that glyphosate causes cancer.
With money, it’s really about doing everything
You are right because everything has a price.
I agree with Alex , How does google justify this ?
Google makes money by sponsored searches that can supersede other links.
how does google justify this? it doesn’t fit well with their declared business model
Sponsored searches always takes precedent with Google so it sort of fits their model.
yeah, but aren’t they trying to push a responsible and caring kinda corporate image?
Not any more with Elizabeth Warren talking about taxing them more. Also, Google was caught eliminating Republican-leaning sites from their searches and also firing employees that are Republicans.
so then why the Monsanto deal? it is the opposite of what they’re about
How did you find out about this? They’ll try anything.
It was after Monsanto and Bayer appealed the first case that they lost. In appeals court, all documents are made public in attempt to prevent bribery of the appellate judges. That’s why all of them wait to become Supreme Court judges because the corporations will shell out millions of dollars to sway their vote in the Supreme Court.
Thanks for keeping this issue out for everyone to read.
You are welcome. The more posts that are made, the more they have to pay to have these posts pushed further down their search engine.
It’s good you have informed us of this so as to avoid it.
We should have been avoiding it all of the time since Roundup is only a slightly better version of Agent Orange.
Memo to humanity: Stop using Goo-goo for searches! – Use DuckDuckGo.com
You will be glad you did!
You are so right Howard!
Thanks for reminding me of this different search engine. I’ve seen the TV ads for DuckDuckGo.com, but I never really paid attention to them. I will check them out because they may have more recent articles that Google have pushed down several search pages.
I started getting better results a few years ago by the switch. And there is the issue of tracking. Duck won’t track or save searches etc…
