Dutch researcher Wietze Beukema has uncovered a spoofing technique that creates fake Google search results. The technique can be used to spread disinformation while leveraging the trust people have in Google s search results to spread false information. The approach makes use of Knowledge Cards, which are boxes on the right-hand side of the screen that contain relevant information to whatever search query a user types into Google Search. For instance, a search for MSNBC offers regular search results along with a Knowledge Card with key facts about the news outlet.
