Eric Schmidt, the Executive Chairman of Google’s parent company Alphabet, says the company will “engineer” specific algorithms for RT... ...to make their articles less prominent on the search engine
we are trying to engineer the systems to prevent that [the content being delivered to wide audiences]
The Alphabet chief, who has been referred to by Hillary Clinton as a “longtime friend,” added that the experience of “the last year” showed that audiences could not be trusted to distinguish fake and real news for themselves.

The demand is unusual.
Although hundreds of foreign entities are registered under FARA, international media outlets are almost entirely exempt, and none have registered in over a decade.
RT America is headquartered in Washington, DC, and RT has bureaus in several other cities. Its operational structure closely resembles US-based, state-owned counterparts like BBC America, Al Jazeera English, and China’s CCTV,
yet RT stands alone in being compelled to register under a law established in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda.

Neither can RT>>> I 'd argue that RT feeds truth when it suits them, but they are constantly trying to instill fear, loathing and depression into the minds of the American people. We don't trust our government, our media or each other, it makes me very certain the chess loving Russians have bested our country only we do not know it yet.

It could be worse. You could be in Russia, where everything domestic media says is taken as gospel and most people aren't suspicious of their government at all (and those that are 'disappear'). Granted, a lot of Americans aren't suspicious of the their government either, or if they are it's in the wrong way.
"I am strongly not in favour of censorship. I am very strongly in favour of ranking. It's what we do," he added. "It's a very legitimate question as to how we rank, A or B, right? And we do the best we can in millions and millions of rankings every day," said Mr Schmidt.
