Google Algorithm Update Targets Slander
Google is reportedly planning an algorithm change targeting content that makes unverified or slanderous claims about other people.
A New York Times (NYT) report states that Google is planning on changing its algorithm to demote websites that publish unverified or slanderous claims about other people.
This change is said to be a direct response to recent New York Times articles documenting how websites build businesses off preying on victims of slander.
