Wired has removed "How Google alters search queries" story
For context, here is the slide from the trial that the article was referencing: <a href="https://twitter.com/adamkovac/status/1710041764910846061" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://twitter.com/adamkovac/status/1710041764910846061</a><p>The author appears to have gotten the slide exactly backwards. She said the slide showed a query of “children’s clothing” that Google rewrites to be a “Nikolia kidswear” query so that it can sell more ads. But in reality, the slide is describing a fuzzy keyword matching system that takes a query of “Nikolia kidswear” and allows it to match ads with “children's clothing” keywords.<p>I’m surprised WIRED allowed such an obviously incorrect article to be published in the first place, particularly when it was by a known partisan (the article discloses that the author is a former Duck Duck Go executive with an obvious bias).
