This Monday WebProNews Absolutely Flooded the Web With Fake (LLM Slop) 'Articles' About "Linux", Google News Promoted Them as Legitimate

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2025

All of the following are fake articles attributed to pseudonyms or authors that don't exist; the images are also slop. Why does Google promote these?

To repeat, all of the above are fake texts with fake images. Google News is dominated by fake texts with attribution to fictional authors.

This is not OK. They're basically attacking people who produce original, real, authentic work regarding Linux. █
