14 DAY TRIAL // As you can see in the picture placed at the bottom of the page, Google News provides some interesting alerts for the latest articles published on the main page. Although Google's employees sustain they are continuously working on the security and relevancy of their technologies, it seems like Google News is not as accurate as it seems to be. "F**king Nokia Bluetooth," a Google alert sent in my email sustained. As you know, the search giant really tries to provide a safe content and correct information but this message spoils all the company's attempts.
If you think this is all I could do, prepare for more. When I tried to click on the link, it returned me an error because the article was no longer available. No idea if it was removed because of prohibited words or by other reason, but Google News is surely returning broken links. "ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd' Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record," the error said as you can see in the first picture.
I admit that a computer technology isn't the best to analyze and filter obscene content but the term f**king is way too popular to be allowed and sent to millions of subscribers.
This is not the first time when Google News is brought into the spotlight for its content. Some time ago, the company was sued for copyright infringement, several Belgian newspapers sustaining the service published their news without authorization. At that time, a Belgian court ordered the search giant to remove all the headlines offered by the publication and to avoid publishing additional articles published on their pages.
