> The whole point of a search engine is curation, and excluding garbage or in the case of Russia/Ukraine, making willful misinformation less prominent is an act of curation.

Unfortunately it seems that in 90%+ of cases "willful misinformation" is just anything that contradicts the political views of the democrat-leaning Google management.

Hunter Biden laptop story is a good example of "right wing disinformation"... oops I meant reality!

Not sure what that has to do with anything or what point you’re trying to make.

The hunter biden laptop story was true and yet it was forcefully removed from many media outlets, more than any story I've ever seen. Glenn Greenwald was working the story and got pushed out of the organization he founded, The Intercept, because of it. There were very powerful forces aligned to blacklist the story to protect Biden's candidacy.
