And a big part of this is: Where did Google get their data in the first place. Celebrity Net Worth has been torched by Google, for example, because Google scrapes their data without permission and offers it up without compensating them in any way.

This ends up hurting users, because now the company that's actually getting the data isn't getting compensated, if they go out of business, you get worse data. This is the same problem with blogspam sites getting ranked above the real journalists who uncovered the news.
