The fact that Google doesn’t immediately change bad data for queries is extremely scary to me. Misinformation from a query should be a civil offense, similar to libel or slander. They are effectively causing disruption in lives these days and I’m perfectly okay with Google being sued directly for spreading misinformation. If their algorithm doesn’t work, it shouldn’t be a public, they can’t just say “nope sorry that’s just how it works”.
