The Grid reports:
The Trump-endorsed, QAnon-friendly Arizona legislator who won the Republican nomination for secretary of state is amplifying yet another conspiracy theory: that Big Tech is suppressing his campaign. But it wasn’t a “deep state algorithm” that was hiding his website in Google search results, as the candidate, Mark Finchem, claimed on social media. Instead, the culprit was the campaign site’s own code.
Grid confirmed that Finchem’s site was coded to explicitly direct Google and other search engines not to index it. A spokesperson for Google denied Finchem’s allegations. “The webmaster for this site has instructed Google and other search engines not to include the site’s homepage in our search results by using a ‘noindex’ directive. If a site wishes to appear in search results, they can remove the ‘noindex’ directive.”

Finchem, who claims to oppose voting by mail, appeared on JMG earlier this week when he was busted for lying about only voting in person on the day of the election. In fact, he has voted early and by mail in 24 previous elections.
Google & the crooks in California refuse to rank my website in their deep state algorithm. Please share my website & link to it so that the voters can see it. They DON’T want me to look at election corruption in Arizona. Crooked #FakeFontes is their fixer.https://t.co/msZPyY54Rc

You believe in mass mail in voting to people who don’t request them. You were rebuked and fired for doing it. https://t.co/560iHJNrEO

You can’t find my website in Google. This should piss off every Arizonan and every American. Heck, it should piss off all free people. Big tech is censoring a major candidate’s website. Share this far and wide and link to it. https://t.co/9QJ75dZH5E
