Dear colleagues,

apologies for crossposting. I want to point out a preliminary analysis of
algorithmic personalization in search results related to the upcoming
German national elections that may be relevant to some among you:

If you want to have a look at the data:

and

Feedback is of course very welcome.

All best,

Cornelius
