Hundreds of angry Indians have taken to Twitter to express their objection over Google throwing up images of prime minister Narendra Modi, among others, when someone searches for “Top 10 Indian criminals.”

While the anger may be justified, the 13,000 tweets (and counting) that have been posted with #Top10Criminals may only make matters worse. The increased mention of “Modi” and “Top 10 Criminals” together could actually lead Google’s algorithms to correlate the name with the phrase even more, two internet analysts told Quartz requesting anonymity.

“Google’s algorithms rely on more than 200 unique signals or ‘clues’ that make it possible to guess what you might really be looking for. In image search, these signals include things like the terms on websites surrounding the image, the metadata associated with the picture,” a Google India spokesperson told Quartz.
