The only rephrasing was changing the name from the former holder of the
seat to the current one, who is of a different political persuasion than
the former.

With engines like duckduckgo, maybe.  I'd not trust google and certainly
not bing when it comes to eventually forcing users to the AI.  There have
already been some experiments with google and bing to illustrate how they
will not show certain results, similar to the shadow ban algorithms that
some social media platforms use/used to use until they got in trouble.
