2/ But how could a #SearchEngine meaningfully improve #socioeconomic #equity?
I believe the best #search is provided by machines plus #HumanAugmentation.
For a long time we had #directories, e.g. #yahoo, #dmoz/#odp, #WorldWideWebVirtualLibrary, #InternetPublicLibrary that provides human #curated search results...and these results where often of high quality but limited in scale.
As the #internet became more integral to human life the ability to maintain human-curated directories decreased.
