Is Nazis hiding their stuff under innocuous search terms or is they not? Today's storm about WWII-era paperweights and décor may be true.
Yesterday, the saga stared when former Cracked editor and scifi author Jason Pargin asked followers if they too were getting a lot of images of Nazi paraphernalia when searching for "desk ornament." The problem is so large that it elicited an official response from the company.
Danny Sullivan apologized for the mistake. Even if a lot of these things are described using those terms, agree not to what most people would expect or desire. How to improve here will be looked at by us.
Most of the time, the responses to Sullivan's explanation have been angry.
One netizen asked if you were seriously arguing that the majority of popular desk ornaments are swastikas. This isn't a "the scraper messed up" thing. This is a person doing something.
One user said that they also experience bugs with the search engine's time filters, while another said that the whole process is broken.
One person said that they were not trying to beat up on Dan because it did not start under his watch. The search engine is in a poor state. The man is a mess.
There are more on big tech messes.
