Google to revise algorithm to flag “offensive” searches, using direct flag teams. But who determines what is “offensive”. #mscedc

Google’s Algorithm Revision
I see Google is now going to use “direct teams” to flag what may be considered offensive search terms. What is determined to be “offensive” will be determined by Google. Searches that contain offensive language will then be flagged and although the search results will not be affected in any way, the searches will be listed with less offensive results being listed higher in the order. This will, in effect, be a change or revision in the existing algorithm that could impede individual research of offensive content for legitimate reasons.

@j_k_knox Reversing might be a better question. Make automated as “less than human”. Dependent on the value of being human.. #mscedc
