Very simple rule of automated learning: do not use any input that an attacker can control/supply in unbounded volume.
Sort content by factual correctness and relevance to search topic, not by popularity contests.

Well, that's not something Google can do. They're an automation company. Finding and evaluating factual correctness isn't automatable until humans are obsolete.
-
It's a much more interesting AI problem than evaluating popularity, and plausible through cross-referencing with sources of heavy human efforts to verify (WP, peer-reviewed journal texts, political fact-checking sites, etc.) & moderate human-labor assist.
-
The biggest RoI for human assist is likely to be simply searching out and documenting popular counterfactual content for use as negative input.

I don't expect Google to do this. I expect it to be the work of whoever wants to unseat Google and fix the mess they created.
