Google refuted the intention to reduce RT and Sputnik rating

Today, November 22, the Google press service announced the lack of intention to change algorithms to reduce the rating of the search results of RT and Sputnik sites.

“The statement of Eric Schmidt [Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Alphabet holding, which includes Google ] referred to the ongoing work of Google to improve the quality of the search,” Vekaterina Kondratyeva quotes the representative of Google's press service.

“We do not change the algorithms to change the ranking of selective sites,” Kondratyeva emphasized.

Earlier, at the International Security Forum in Galifax Schmidt, he announced his intention to reduce RT and Sputnik sites rating, which US intelligence services accuse the spread of Russian state propaganda.

After that, Roskomnadzor sent a request to Google with a demand to clarify what measures will be taken against RT and Sputnik , warning that he would work retaliatory measures in case of unfriendly actions from the company in relation to the Russian media.
