Google says no changes in algorithm to re-rank websites: Russian watchdog
Russian communications watchdog Roskomnadzor says it has been informed by Google that it does not change its algorithm to re-rank individual websites
Moscow: Russian communications watchdog Roskomnadzor said on Monday it had been informed by Google that the search engine does not change its algorithm to re-rank individual websites.
Google was responding to a request from Roskomnadzor regarding Russian media outlets RT and Sputnik, Roskomnadzor said on its website.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Alphabet executive chairman Eric Schmidt, speaking at an international forum this month, responded to a question about Sputnik articles appearing on Google by saying the company was working to give less prominence to “those kinds of websites" as opposed to delisting them. Reuters
