Twitter Already Banned "BNN Breaking" for Being Spam, Google News is Struggling to Spot That for Months Already (and This Serves to Legitimise the Spam)
THIS is getting out of hand.
As we noted yesterday, after mass layoffs at Google News they lack staff and, as a result, they lack quality control.
How is it possible that Google News cannot detect "BNN Breaking" as spam? For years it has also allowed similar bottom-feeding fake sites to be listed.
People can easily see what that is:
Has anyone dealt with BNN Breaking News before? It seems fake but need evidence to support that theory
It seems like scraped and AI generated news content but I’d appreciate any experiences or evidence of the publication’s illegitimacy. Thanks!

Here’s my findings from more research:It seems BNN is a fake news website that uses AI to automatically scrape news articles from various news outlets to create new paraphrased versions.
The “reporters” attributed to the articles "publish" hundreds of news stories on a given day, offering further evidence that this content is generated without human oversight.
This is one of the many fake news aggregation websites like this exist across the internet to siphon advertisement revenue without having to employ human authors.
Some useful sources in my research:

Today's "linux" news from Google News:
If this sort of thing does not get corrected (it's not just "BNN Breaking" by the way), Google will definitely lose users and, in turn, staff. Humans must be in the loop to rectify this because curation cannot be properly automated. A lot of the fake news originates from Microsoft. Microsoft operates a misinformation and plagiarism factory that it "stole" from a liar and charlatan, Elon Musk; it wants us to believe this is revolutionary and desirable, but even Microsoft's own engineers disagree [1, 2]. █
