I cannot tell if you are being serious or you are brainwashed.
My understanding of Google's history is their algorithms started as providing answers that the world already knew but could not find easily.
Over time they had to handle multiple lawsuits, harassments by entrenched groups that were upended by opening up of knowledge.
These adjustments / reactions made the algorithm look biased.
This disputed quote by Cardinal Richelieu comes to mind when I think of people claiming Google is a bad actor.
"If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him"
- ixtli 7y agoYou're reading far too much into what im saying. I'm not calling google a bad actor (though certainly I think they can be for reasons that have little to do with the search algorithm.) I'm saying that there is bias encoded here and, further as i thought was clear, im not saying this is a bad thing.
- mirekrusin 7y agoThe bias was introduced to unbiased algorithm because people found it biased, that's why it's unbiased bias now.
