Excerpt:
During the discussion, Schmidt claimed that he was "very strongly not in favor of censorship," but said that he has faith in "ranking" without acknowledging if the system might serve the same function. Schmidt, who joined Google in 2001, said that the company's algorithm was capable of detecting "repetitive, exploitative, false, and weaponized' info, but did not elaborate on how these qualities were determined.
