“ Our long-term goal is to define badging for high-quality experiences, which may include signals beyond just speed.“
My speculation is that they are gearing towards web moderation. Tag sites that don’t agree with their world view as “potentially harmful”. This could make an average chrome user immediately balk at opening the site and reading the content.
Before you downvote my comment explain why the above scenario is not plausible.
- Conlectus 7y agoGoogle search has defined itself by being the way people access the web, and already has heavy antitrust pressure put on it but the EU for related reasons. Extending that would go against their stated world view, and more importantly raise even more regulatory concerns. This situation differs from eg. YouTube because they do not themselves host the content, and are not subject to copyright laws related to it. Also: Google is made of human beings who have already protested against, for example, censoring Google within China.
