I can see core search becoming regulated like a public utility. You could have other search providers (RedSearch/BlueSearch) that low-rank based on viewpoint, but there needs to be some option to get info without viewpoint weighting -- and offering actual due process to challenge 'disappearing' like this.
- smackay 9y agoMunicipal broadband is probably a useful example here. The technology is sufficiently well developed and there are enough technical skills available that communities with the resources can make this happen - assuming the usual political hurdles can be overcome or worked around. Perhaps there is a solution with large, well-funded libraries or universities where there is a clear mandate for creating an environment that stimulates people's minds. here the value of their brand would be the main attraction. People who we content with mainstream media could still read their personalised content on Google, Facebook, etc. However I think it will be some time before the technology is sufficiently well developed and cheap enough to make this a reality - assuming the usual political hurdles can be overcome or worked around.
