Does it really mean much if people aren't asking Google for "epstein files"? I don't think I've ever looked for that (or used Google to do so).

Does Google have enough data??

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Probably, but do we? From where I'm standing I have only this graph that shows a decline in requests for a specific phrase. And I'm asking if that is meaningful.

A lot of people are/were interested in looking it up on search engines to find out the latest information about it

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes but surely they'd move on to other phrases related to the files. Or to other search methods, really, that may not be under suspicion of hiding stuff. This is one data point.

Also direct interest may peter out long term as it becomes more common knowledge and no new data is present. It'd be like how a new game will get a boost in lookups but will generally be down to a certain number of searches within a year or two.
