8. People don't write what the cheap press calls "algorithms". It's actually termed machine learning for a reason

Also, the term "explainable AI" is relevant, as in current AIs are completely unexplainable because the smarts are distributed across millions of units.

"Mass deportation" is of interest to most Americans and thus it is no surprise that it is a hot topic at search engines. Then the engines respond according to what is in that zone, flooded or not. Currently, it is flooded.

There is not some human moderation / dis-moderation team at the engine upvoting X posts and goobermint websites. The flooding is so voluminous they couldn't hire enough people worldwide to do that.

There are no programmers writing code like "If node 2355982 gets a strong signal from 2391774 then double the signals to nodes 2128886 and 1973842;". Nor "if website is 'info.ice.goober' and contains the words 'detention' then multiply the weight for 'camps' by 1.62;". Just not feasible.
