One day, Georgif said from a former colleague, 'When I searched Google for Georgiff's name, I happened to see a photo of Georgiff's face linked to a Wikipedia article about a serial killer of the same name.' He said he received an email informing him that.

The following is a place where I actually searched for Mr. Georgif's name on Google. To the right of Google's search results, you'll see a photo of Georgief's face, along with a Wikipedia article about the serial killer Hristo Georgiev.



According to Wikipedia, the murderer Frist Georgif killed five people in Bulgaria between 1974 and 1980 and was executed by firing squad in 1980. Of course, Mr. Georgif, who lives in Switzerland, has the same name, but he is a completely different person.

Georgif thought, 'Someone did some elaborate pranks,' and checked the Wikipedia article, but the article didn't include a picture of Georgif. In other words, it was Google's search algorithm that linked and displayed Georgif's face photo and Wikipedia article.



Mr. Georgiff was surprised and immediately reported this bug to Google. After that, it seems that measures have been taken, and even if you search for 'Hristo Georgiev' at the time of writing the article, Mr. Georgie's face photo is no longer displayed.

Initially, Georgiff shared the news with his friends with a laugh. However, he soon realized that this mistake could lead to a terrible situation. 'The fact that the search algorithms used by billions of people can easily twist information is really scary,' commented Georgiff.

'The epidemic of fake news has literally left the well-known people vulnerable. Today, anyone with a presence on the Internet should be aware of their'online expression'. You have to. A 'little annoyance' from a small mistake in a system like Google Search can lead to a catastrophe that can ruin a person's career or reputation in a matter of days. I'm to this day. , 'I had the idea that this would happen to others, but not to myself,' but it was a mistake. '

'It may not be a good idea to have a single Internet company organize information about the world,' Georgif said. He doesn't live in the United States and doesn't even know an American lawyer who acts as a legal representative, so Georgiff has no plans to seek compensation from Google.
