Google Responds to Claims Where Search Results Can Be Harmful & Dangerous
Over the past few weeks, Google's Search Liaison, Danny Sullivan, has been replying to complaints about some examples of search results being not just low-quality but also potentially harmful and dangerous.

Google has been facing complaints about harmful and dangerous search results. Vice President of Google Search, Hyung-Jin Ki, previously aimed to ensure Google search never leads anyone to harmful information. However, recent feedback indicates an increase in such results. Google acknowledged the concerns and stated they are taking action. The issue includes showing Reddit content, which users find useful but sometimes dangerous or unhelpful.
