  That's certainly one view, but it's not my view. If people don't feel safe participating today on some topic that haters have google alerts set up for, then those future archives will be heavily biased in favor of content that's acceptable to the haters of that time. Sounds like a great way to ensure the spread of hate across social generations to me.

  Searches will always have the problem of the lack of context. A song or a literary work can mean totally different things if we lack the context or understand the years when they were written. The second and more serious problem is people thinking that algorithms are so smart that are infallible. This, when a much more sophisticated human brain would have a serious trouble trying to navigate the long lists of random dictionary words that we enter in a browser. Netizens in general don't understand, or don't care, and just simplify and fill the gaps until they have a caricature that can fit in some "well known stereotype" slot. The result is that our societies are being more and more fractured, radicalized and isolated into different groups.
