        Misinformation being downranked seems to be a major plus to me. 🤷‍♀️

        +1 Yes!

        I don’t understand why people want to see misinformation in their search honestly. There’s a lot of this “oh no its ‘censoring’ my results so its bad” thinking in some parts of the privacy community and its not healthy IMO.

        I do that agree that there is a time and a place for censorship though, in some instances it can potentially overstretch what most consider to be fair, but with most things you can’t please everyone. Personally as long as I get 🚢🏴‍☠️🧲 in my search results I’m happy.

        If all search was uncensored, and people were a button click away from seeing NSFL (note: not NSFW) stuff all the time, the internet would be a very different place… and various countries would have likely forgone it in favor of their own national intranet (such as NK or PRC kinda have)

      This website and author are a little out there but the article seems to be a pretty good run down on what’s what. There are similar deep dives into browsers and email services as well.
