Melissa Fleming, the Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications at the United Nations, tells World Economic Forum’s 'Tackling Disinformation' panel they partnered with Google in order to manipulate search results

“We partnered with Google. For example, if you google climate change, at the top of your search you will get all kinds of UN resources. We started this partnership when we were shocked to see when we googled climate change, we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top... It’s a huge, huge challenge that I think all sectors of society need to be very active in.”
