Ask HN: Did you know Google knowledge panel can give wrong information?

1 points by Ahmd72 5 years ago | 2 comments

It is said information is the new gold or oil in 21st century, yet we are bombarded with fake news and propaganda, just the other day I was searching through google search engine and saw that the provided knowledge panel gives wrong information. How do we fix this and will people be interested in a browser plugin that can provide them with a confidence percentage or the reliability of data or if its different somewhere else? For example the information that google provided wrong to me was correct in wikipedia so maybe the plugin can point that its different in other sources?

I feel like it's well known that the panel can display incorrect info, but that might just be me.

You can submit feedback if you think the information is incorrect, look for the three dots at the top right of the panel.

Thanks, strangely I never noticed that there was a feedback button there before
