Sorry for not being clear. I am not the best communicator. What you should notice upon entering that search term are the wildly conflicting results. Google will present a "No" answer near the top, but if you scroll down through the thousands of results, you will see some saying "Yes", some saying "No", and some saying "We don't know". Google (and all of the other big social media giants) was quick to post a definitive answer, but is it the correct answer? The volume of uncertainty would seem to indicate that it is not.


You shouldn't make any conclusions based on skimming search results though. Ask critical questions like:

- Who is answering the question?

- Who paid for that answer?

- What platform is it posted on, and where lie their loyalties?

The problem with search results for questions like that is that you end up on a ton of trash media sites, none of which are neutral; they are all paid for, operated by or supported by parties with political goals and ambitions.


Pointing to search engine results being varied for a specific query is not a citation.
