You're arguing that Google should be a better arbiter, and I agree. What I disagreed with is the idea that they shouldn't be an arbiter at all, because I don't

You're arguing that Google should be a better arbiter, and I agree. What I disagreed with is the idea that they shouldn't be an arbiter at all, because I don't think that's possible.
- ksk 10y agoNot really. I don't want a better fox guarding the hen-house. I don't want it to be a fox in the first place. Heck even Wikipedia with all of its flaws would be a better arbiter. Google wants to put the responsibility of evaluating an advertisement onto its users, if they are so concerned about erroneous search results, they should first put a fact-check box next to their ads. Adopting a hands-off strategy when it comes to their revenue and a hands-on strategy when it comes to their perceived ideology is hypocritical at best.
