Voices from the outside world point out that the organizers of overseas competitions have broadcast the wrong national anthem one after another year after year, which is related to the algorithm of Internet search engines, urging the government to take it seriously.

The same keyword "Glory to Hong Kong" ranked first after half a month

A reporter from "Hong Kong 01" searched Google for "National anthem of Hong Kong" on November 14. The first search result was a Wikipedia entry, followed by the English version of YouTube's "Glory to Hong Kong" (Glory to Hong Kong), not "March of the Volunteers".

As for the search for "Hong Kong National Anthem", the page on the right will also give an introduction to the song "Glory to Hong Kong".

Until this afternoon, when I searched for the same keyword on Google, the results of "National anthem of Hong Kong" did not change much.

However, the "Hong Kong National Anthem" has changed significantly. Among them, the Chinese version of "Glory to Hong Kong" is ranked first ahead of the original news video, but the song introduction of "Glory to Hong Kong" on the right page has been deleted .

Yahoo searched for the Hong Kong national anthem and provided correct information

In terms of other search engines, search for "National anthem of Hong Kong" in yahoo! The first place is related news videos, the second place is the Wikipedia entry, and the last two are the English version of YouTube's "Glory to Hong Kong" .

However, if you search for "Hong Kong National Anthem", the results are displayed after the relevant news video, and a description of the Hong Kong National Anthem as "March of the Volunteers" is listed.

As for the mainland search engine Baidu, there was no entry such as "Glory to Hong Kong" in the results, and all the news related to the wrong national anthem.

The search results are sorted according to popularity, Fang Baoqiao worries about wrong information and continues to stay at the top

Fang Baoqiao, honorary president of the Hong Kong Information Technology Chamber of Commerce, believes that Google's search results are sorted according to the number of page views, publication date and other conditions. If the search records are forcibly modified, it will violate the principles behind the search engine.

He mentioned last month that the Hong Kong government can ask Google to delete search records with inaccurate content, but it is difficult for foreign registered websites.

"People in the Hong Kong discussion forum and many websites in Gordon have said that they can be deleted one by one, but how to delete foreign Twitter?" After many days of fermentation, he believes that if the society continues to discuss the incident, the wrong information will probably continue to be in the forefront. , or even pinned to the top.

Urge the government to sell advertisements to put the correct information on the top

He also emphasized that Google, as a search engine, operates according to the above-mentioned principles, and the search results do not reflect the facts. Hong Kong is not a country, and there is no so-called "Hong Kong National Anthem", so the results may not faithfully display "March of the Volunteers".

He suggested that the Hong Kong government can negotiate with Google to place the correct information on the search page. If the other party does not agree, the government can only sell advertisements to the top.
