Google won’t comment on a potentially massive leak of its search algorithm documentation
theverge.com

A purported leak of 2,500 pages of internal documentation from Google sheds light on how Search, the most powerful arbiter of the internet, operates.

The leaked documents touch on topics like what kind of data Google collects and uses, which sites Google elevates for sensitive topics like elections, how Google handles small websites, and more. Some information in the documents appears to be in conflict with public statements by Google representatives, according to Fishkin and King.

Yep but I'll add my two cents, half is lying and half is guessfull ignorance because nobody really knows how big and old systems really work.

No one reaches a position like Google's without knowing to the atom every knook and crany of their systems.

Eeeeh you overestimate the capacity of people to learn what someone being fired knows
