A US judge just called Google the ‘highest quality search engine’. But how do we determine ‘quality’?(theconversation.com)

I’d rather not have judges make completely subjective statements like that.

With the chevron ruling, this is the new norm.

I wonder which others he has tried to get to that conclusion, and how recently.

I’m going to go with ‘Not Any, and probably not even Google.’

I just go to Bing.com and Google whatever I want… The internet is an amazing series of tubes.

There was a time when that statement would have had some credibility.

Search engine quality in the United States is determined by 60-80 year olds who have only ever used Google to search for “lexisnexis.com”

Also:

Search engine quality determined exclusively by the folks that consistently mistake their Facebook status update field for a search engine.

Mehta said the tech giant has built “the industry’s highest quality search engine”.

This is not wrong. They have done this, in the past. And since then, it has taken a nose dive.
