> You use Google for very specific niche queries where you already know enough about the topic to judge the veracity and usefulness of the results. <...> The article is talking about people using Google for news and contested political topics.
Yes indeed. Could it be that search engines are in principle ill suited for searching for news and contested political topics, especially if one has no way of judging whether a particular result is correct or not? Or, more generally, that searching without knowing how then to verify the quality of the results is a pretty silly undertaking?
In other words, shouldn't all responsibility be on the user of a search engine, and not on the search engine itself?
