RE: Google Caught Red-Handed Censoring Search Results Asking Questions About Parkland Shooting

in #news7 years ago

Of course this looks bad. There's no reason this should have been demoted, but Google's algorithms are going through a relatively new phase of blocking inappropriate content and I think it's rather clear it's going through some implementation issues for the moment. Definitely keep an eye on this though - Google's influence is Way too big to be biased in any way. It's almost scary to think how it could change our knowledge without us noticing. The algorithm is meant to censor things like holocaust deniers and imo stop flat earth results coming up for young students googling about our planet. Eventually things will get sorted out.

Sort:  

I'd really like to beleive it will, even if it seems unlikely at this point 👍

I think Gargle has shown us the very method that will solve this problem: demonetization.

Just as Youtool demonetizes those voices it seeks to silence, our using search tools that don't censor the results will demonetize Gargle.

Good.
