Google doesn't push right wing propaganda to my phone. Do they only do that to US citizens?

I'm Canadian - 2 weeks before the election I started getting about an article per day pushed to my Android phone, for a few days.

Now when you say "pushed to", where and how did that actually manifest "on" your phone.

[-] Lulzagna@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Android will push notifications for news articles that you may be "interested" in. I think it used to be called Google Now.

Congress is concerned about theoretical propaganda, but it's a reality in nearly every major news outlet and tech companies, but zero concern when it fits a certain narrative.

Huh. Curious. I've been using Google Now, and after that, its successor, for a long time. Rarely do I see any political propaganda. Just sane reporting. I'm based on Northern Europe though.
