«For Google, though, the goal of full coverage is about much more than simple aggregation. It’s supposed to be a kind of antidote to our self-imposed echo chambers. By eschewing any kind of personalization in favor of “trusted news sources” only, Google hopes the feature is giving people the tools to have “a productive conversation or debate.”

It’s an interesting approach to a thorny topic that other platforms, notably Facebook, has struggled with: is it better to serve up the stuff people want to read or what’s true. Google has pretty clearly come down on the side of the latter.»
