I always know it isn’t the truth when I hear this,
Our entire country is making decisions on fiction. Scary AF

Fact

That is entirely the fault of personalized search algorithms. People who seek misinformation find it, and then the algorithms learn that they want that information, so they feed them more.

We need truth in algorithm regulations.

A lot of truth there.

I've been doing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for 15 years. I know the Google search algorithm and it's 14,004 ranking factors like the back of my hand.

I know the algorithm feeds people B.S. if that's what they're looking for.

Without a reliable methodology on how to establish what a fact is doing your own research is equal to “I have an opinion”.
