Google could launch an effort to keep trolls and bad information at bay, with a program that would rank websites according to veracity, and sort results according to those rankings. Currently, the search engine ranks pages according to popularity, which means that pages containing unsubstantiated celebrity gossip or conspiracy theories, for example, show up very high.

Climate change deniers are freaking out about this.

Fox News is also freaking out about this.

DO IT GOOGLE

DO IT

FUCKING DO IT

DO IT

::joins chanting:: do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
