It would seem that misinformation such as this would be much more in the wheelhouse of companies such as Google as they consider censoring content and twiddling search results. They don't employ virologists, or other experts, but they regularly label information that they have little inside technical expertise on as misinformation.
With so much obvious misinformation on stack exchange, why is Google so blase about directing searchers to the site?
- bronzeage 5y agoBecause Google doesn't label misinformation because Google really wants to, but because it's pushed by the government under the guise of "just a private company". It's supposed to be unconstitutional to have your government censoring things, but covid-19 is the catch all excuse for any authoritarian violation these days.
- yourenotsmart 5y agoImagine seeing this in your search results: In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries that contain shitty code and bad security practices. If you like [repeat the search with the omitted results included]. I can't imagine this being controversial. No one would complain at all about being affected.
