On Sunday evening, NYC Media Lab executive director Justin Hendrix noticed the carousel was promoting misinformation and hoaxes from Paul Joseph Watson, among others, who is a far-right commentator and InfoWars editor-at-large.

Google insists the Twitter module isn't given a prominent position on the search page:

"For the queries in question, they are not the first results we show on the page. Instead, they appear after news sources, including our Top Stories carousel which we have been constantly updating. We’ll continue to look at ways to improve how we rank tweets that appear in search."
As with Vegas, YouTube was also promoting misinformation and conspiracy theories.
Alleged "proof" that Kelley is a member of the ANTIFA is among the top results when you search his name:
