Nayak clarifies that the manual page-by-page interventions in search results cannot solve the problem of misinformation.

Nayak is mentioning the authority as well-defined in the .
Google’s aim is to minimize the spread of misleading/fake information by lowering or removing them from the search engine result pages.
Google will display the results from the most genuine sources when the information about the disasters is being searched.
In case of a extreme storm, Google would display most recent news stories in relevant search queries about that storm instead of generic evergreen articles and blog posts.
The search algorithm will start showing usual results after the disaster has diminished.
