Google is not going to "censor" their search results, they're just going to take search results "off [their] page" to "essentially have you not see it."

In a video from March 23 that's just now going viral, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was asked by Fox Business's Maria Bartiromo how they plan to deal with extremist content. Eric Schmidt responded by mixing in "fake news" with "extremist things" and suggested their computer algorithms will determine what's true:

"My own view on most of this sort of extremist things as well as fake news in general is that it’s essentially a ranking problem. We’re very good at detecting what’s the most relevant and what’s the least relevant. It should be possible for computers to detect malicious, misleading and incorrect information and essentially have you not see it. We’re not arguing for censorship, we’re arguing just take it off the page, put it somewhere else.”
