Misinformation being downranked seems to be a major plus to me. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

+1 Yes!

I don’t understand why people want to see misinformation in their search honestly. There’s a lot of this β€œoh no its β€˜censoring’ my results so its bad” thinking in some parts of the privacy community and its not healthy IMO.

I do that agree that there is a time and a place for censorship though, in some instances it can potentially overstretch what most consider to be fair, but with most things you can’t please everyone. Personally as long as I get πŸš’πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈπŸ§² in my search results I’m happy.

If all search was uncensored, and people were a button click away from seeing NSFL (note: not NSFW) stuff all the time, the internet would be a very different place… and various countries would have likely forgone it in favor of their own national intranet (such as NK or PRC kinda have)
