Google News Initiative
I used Google News for a long time. I have since blackholed it on all of my machines. By tailoring the news articles presented to be based on the interests that Google data mined from my Google profile, it became an echo chamber even worse than Facebook.<p>It became a very <i>bad</i> source of news: all of the articles were self-reinforcing each other with very <i>very</i> little actual diversity of sources.
