Imagine that the Google News Initiative decides to fund InfoWars, the far-right American conspiracy theory and fake news website.

Imagine that Google declines to blacklist InfoWars from its ad networks or algorithmically downgrade it as a reliable news source in its search engine.

In fact, imagine that you search for “Jew,” “LGBTI+” or the full name of a reputable journalist and Google ranks blatant hate speech as the top result.
