Ask HN: Google is confusing me with others in a harmful way – what can I do?
It is laughable that "tech giants" are going to great lengths these days in cahoots with elected politicians and warlords (equally), to crack down on "misinformation" and yet when their own algorithm and callous management propagate damaging misinformation, no one can crack the whip on them, so to speak.As others suggested, this needs to hit the court and be brought to the notice of regulators too. What if one day this deceptive "knowledge box" gets someone lynched? Am sure this has already happened if the lens is broad enough. Nevertheless they cannot be allowed to associate random photos with unrelated content without repercussions. At the very least they should have a channel where the general public can reach them and they take prompt action based on the merits of the case.It's laughable how feudal, unaccountable, unreachable and unregulated the tech industry is, while they have a deliberately cultivated oversized impact on society.
