Moral Query #2

Updated: Oct 17, 2023

The right to grammatical privacy.


Google (and other major search engines) can track the populations’ level of grammatical ability through its use. It could potentially do this in every ‘online’ language across the globe. An algorithm could then factor-in other similar attributes to determine levels of education (and it’s efficiency over time) in general and compare them across the planet, country, county, city, or even school. Every time you type a word into Google how you think it might be spelt (be it incorrectly or not), you feed it. I wonder if they do this already, and if they do - is it morally reprehensible? Is it something we have already consented to in the small-print?


I wonder, maybe I should... Google it?
