Google Blackout of Drudge, Breitbart May Have Revealed Mysterious List

A Tuesday incident in which certain websites briefly vanished from Google search results may have inadvertently exposed an internal list aimed at suppressing certain news outlets, a former engineer for the company said.

It appears to have revealed the existence of another blacklist that disproportionately targets conservatives, Mike Wacker theorized in a message to Mediaite. The glitch is that sites on this blacklist disappeared from Google search results, but the existence of the list is very much by design. And that raises a major question: Why was this blacklist created in the first place, and what else is it used for?
