Not sure ther issue with Google. I use Google Alerts and get a mixture of content and definitely not slanted one way or another.
I am pretty liberal but I am someone that can deal with reading the otherside and do not have to put my head in the sand. I will even watch Fox from time to time just to see how they are talking about things.
Google would know my slant so putting Breitbart articles in my alerts and on the Google Assistant suggests they are not filtering.
Heck I get negative Google stories and clearly if Google was going to filter be the first thing to filter out.
I really do not use FB so can not comment about it.
- atomi 9y agoHere's something: ask your Google Assistant how old the Earth is. Now ask how old the Moon is. Do you think it's just an innocent oversight that Google Assistant doesn't reply with the age of the Earth? Perhaps it is.
- dragonwriter 9y agoGiven that it gives the wrong answer for the moon (even though it's source has the right answer!) and given its spotty coverage of other similar information pairs where there is no credible ideological motive (e.g., sunrise times vs. moonrise times), yes, I think “Knowledge Graph is spotty, incomplete, often inaccurate, and has insufficient human attention” is the Occam’s Razor-compatible answer, despite how fun conspiracy theories can be.
- atomi 9y agoOr it could also be that the source knowledge graph has inconsistent information because of religious mis-information - there's that Occam’s Razor-compatible answer for you.
