Editor’s Note: Each of us pursues our “truths” by constructing them out of facts picked up here & there through our life experience. These facts, in the aggregate, help us develop our viewpoints. Hearing other people’s perspectives on the same facts often help us to form & refine our opinions – and a level playing field for these competing facts & ideas is essential. This I believe is a fundamental basis for the fight for net neutrality. The following article alerts us to efforts to destroy that level playing field. As we are seeing so much to encourage & uplift us in our current age, the open internet having played a large role in that, may we resist the urges of some to thrust us into a dark age of consciousness.
“…if all records told the same tale — then the lie passed into history and became truth.” (1984, George Orwell)
The New Scientist has the stunning story (2/28/15, “Google wants to rank websites based on facts not links,” by Hal Hodson):
“THE internet is stuffed with garbage. Anti-vaccination websites make the front page of Google, and fact-free ‘news’ stories spread like wildfire. Google has devised a fix – rank websites according to their truthfulness.”
Great idea, right?
Sure it is.
The author of the article lets the cat out of the bag right away with his comment about “anti-vaccination” websites.
These sites will obviously be shoved into obscurity by Google because they’re “garbage”…whereas “truthful” pro-vaccine sites will dominate top ranked pages on the search engine.
This is wonderful if you believe what the CDC tells you about vaccine safety and efficacy. The CDC: an agency that opens its doors every day with lies and closes them with more lies.
The New Scientist article continues: “A Google research team is adapting [a] model to measure the trustworthiness of a [website] page, rather than its reputation across the web. Instead of counting incoming links, the [ranking] system – which is not yet live – counts the number of incorrect facts within a page. ‘A source that has few false facts is considered to be trustworthy,’ says the team…The score they compute for each page is its Knowledge-Based Trust score.”
