I don't blame Google for fake news. However, modern mass media amplifies fake information in near real-time, so it would make sense to also limit fake news from spreading so rapidly and possibly trigger consequences from those whose emotional capacity clearly exceeds their rational capacity. In other words, idiots going vigilante before the facts are known.

In one way, it's a good thing news can come from anywhere and reporting is more "democratic", but clearly we also need to find solutions to filter misinformation while at the same time safeguarding freedom of information in general. And that means cooperation of those companies that enable (any) news to spread without reality checks.

Note that it is also in (particulary) Google's best interest to provide facts and not to rapidly propagate misinformation. Who is interested in using a search engine that provides false or fake information?
