Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      Even 100 iPhones is still just one bigass box or a single rack of reasonable ones. And modern Google doesn't seem to even index 1% of content, but happily indexes loads of SEO spam.

      Yes Maps and video are useful but outside the original scope of what we thought of as Google (see the followup QRT "cursed image").

      You _realize_ "I say this thing I've never done is much simpler than the people who do it for a living say" is Dunning-Kruger, right?

      You're misreading my original tweet as "I could replace Google". It's more like "Google search is not something unachievable without a many-billion-$ corp. Could be done with minimal computing resources, smallish company."

      Google bought youtube less than 5 years after its IPO, more than a decade ago. I think they'd _already_ replaced pagerank by then?

      The concept (scoring based on attacker-controlled inputs) has never been replaced, though there have been many iterations and perhaps names.

      Just as web browsers display attacker controlled data. Clearly browsers should only display data bundled with the browser, no net access.

      Displaying != trusting. The problem is making decisions that have social and economic and political effects based on potentially malicious input without accounting for malice...

      ...specifically in the case of Google, intentionally without a way to tell the computer the input is malicious when it's too dumb to figure that out on its own.

      What Google did, every time they discovered new forms of malicious input, was to wait for them to be widely exploited then wait til they could generalize a rule to stop it while maintaining their belief in impartiality.

      If they'd instead just manually delisted offenders early and started making rules to flag potential copycats asap, many of the techniques would never have taken off. Lots of resources spent designing new attack, minimal payoff.

          And by controlling the ad market & delaying payouts, they could have revoked ad earnings and made the payoff zero.

          Not saying it's remotely justifiable that they controlled these markets. But they could have used that control for the good of users in addition to evil uses.
