I've had this conversation plenty times before and the people making your argument are wrong. Not repeating it. Bye.

ok, bye, have a nice life. A short one if you think that a private company must police what is true.

Nobody is arguing for them to "police what's true". We're arguing for them to stop elevating/promoting utter bullshit to appear as truth.

If they can't avoid doing that, then eliminate the "feature" altogether and just show nothing but search results.

that is the part that i think that you dont undesrtand , what do you think that are "they"? a person?, a single machine?, an algorithm?

"They" here is Google. Choice of what to present as search results (i.e. choice to add the featured snippets) is a design choice.

The snippets are generated automagically , a single person cant be responsible , an a machine can be tricket to have "quakery" results

IF it were true that highlighted content is beyond control (pro tip: it's not), then as
@RichFelker said, they shouldn't be doing it at all.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
Replying to @Technomaton @RichFelker and
why not? do you can say that the snippets are not relevant to the search ? they are relevant , even if they are not true

Promoting as a featured snippet != inclusion in search results.
