Apparently you are missing misunderstanding me. I should not need to do an internet search to verify your claims of fact.

So you meant that you do internets searches.   I guess I did misunderstand your comment. 

You don't have to verify anything that I post.   You have every right to disregard any and everything that I post.   You have every right to not believe anything that I post.  I will not be offended if you don't believe any thing that I post.

I have recently had to stop using it due to constantly being asked to tick Captcha boxes with every search. I tried every remedy that I could find on the internet, without success.

 

In the end I changed browser search engine to DuckDuckGo.

Are you using a VPN.  I find that when my VPN is active, I have to do capta, but not if the VPN is not active.

You should imagine that I don't also search. That doesn't take away from my point that it is mandatory to post a link to any claims of fact.

Mandatory?

Yep. It's the rules. Try to keep up.

I do have a VPN, but I don't keep it on all the time. In fact the first thing I checked when I started getting the captchas was that it was off.

 

Funnily enough, after being on DuckDuckGo for several days, I just changed my browser search engine back to Google, did some searches, and so far no Captchas. Weird.

If it is a fact then surely you must follow your own advice and back up your fact with a link?

I misunderstood.  I thought the captchas were with google, the only search engine I get them with and with youtube, owned by google.

Could you, perhaps, quote the rule number and rule?

One thing I have found about posting youtube comments.  Sometimes I have no problem, other times, I have to disable the VPN to post.   It's hit or miss.

More than just political bias. 

Google is a premium member of the deep establishment and dominant paradigm. 

 

Google is driven by your own searches and preferences and feeds you an ongoing mass based on your own use tailored to keeping you engaged as long as possible. Couple that with sponsored advertisers (based on your own use patterns or related items) and that's what you see. It has almost nothing to do with government deep state bs. The main filter in govt context is censorship of the country you're in or location showing on your IP address.

I don't believe you are unaware of that rule. Mods have mentioned it many times.

OK, so you do not want to quote the rule.   I ask that you do because I can not find a rule that says it is "mandatory" to post a link!

Can you not see the words "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source" on the page below? Does that not mean mandatory?

Since it only appears to be you that seeks 'mandatory' links, here's a couple relating to research on Google's political bias among other things. It's not conspiracy theory stuff or fake news.

https://www.authoritas.com/blog/are-google-search-results-biased/

 

BTW, this here is the Thailand News forum and @radiochaser hasn't posted anything in the World News forum to which the additional need for a "valid link to an approved credible source" specifically applies.

 

In the 41 Forum Rules and 8 Standards of Conduct, the word 'mandatory' doesn't appear.

On what planet does "must" not mean mandatory? Any claim of fact must be supported by a link. Is that not easy to understand? I suggest you seek the assistance of a moderator for clarification.

 

Why does anybody have a problem with providing links to support factual claims anyway? It it's not BS then the links are available.

Our Google Mother will soon control and manage most everything, as it appears that's the way we want it.

Turn off your VPN. Google usually asks the catchpa thingy if people are using one.

Google OWNS every search engine out there, but it's not public information.   The CIA wants you to think certain sites are "better"!!!!!!  

Oh, you don't believe me, just google it!!!!   nobody says, just duckduckduckduck it!!

What Google owns is public information. Got some evidence?

i heard the #1 google for Thailand is "how to not get mugged by police in Thailand".  

Google certainly doesn't know everything. 

I googled "missing medieval servant boy" and it just said "that page can not be found".

Just never type Google into Google… or you could break the Internet!

Did you look at your link?  It pulls up 1,447 responses! 

Would you please just show me where you said the "mandatory" requirement is in the rules, where you wrote that it was?
