So I do a @Google search for "Boston's black neighborhoods" and the 1st result that pops up is a list of Boston's "worst" neighborhoods. How does that happen?pic.twitter.com/RUaFgMcwNR

Apologies for this, and you should find that particular featured snippet now removed. The page was strong on the aspect of "boston neighborhoods" generally and likely seemed more list-like than other pages in the results, so got automatically picked as a featured snippet...

This explains more about how featured snippets work. The system works well in the vast majority of cases but isn't perfect. Reporting through the tool helps us in such cases. https://blog.google/products/search/reintroduction-googles-featured-snippets/ …pic.twitter.com/VANOxvfKJv

Good to know! Glad I could help call attention to the issue.

How about Google spend some of its vast amount of talent really *fixing* this? Develop metrics for when a result is racist/misogynist/etc., as well as for when *linking the search terms to the result is*, and heavily downscore both.

yes, it doesn't matter what data reflects, let's appease the leftist whiner, even if it requires fiddling and smudging reality

You marxist piece of shit. Run from reality instead of facing it. Very admirable. You assholes have gutted your search because you're too afraid that organic search results could hurt someone's feeling. Your search service is now trash and a shell of what it once was.

Now that you are fixing the search engine for "inaccuracy", make sure at least Goddard and Tesla are shown in the search results for "american inventors"pic.twitter.com/N3BvW2Oik1
