Do You Think It's Time For Search Engines To Help Fight Against Frauds & Scams?

I do not think anyone of us here, does not visit search engines like Baidu, Google, Yahoo and etc. at any point of our time on the internet. So, I am sure you will appreciate the ease with finding the relevant queries and knowledge. Gone are the days where we will need to go through so much cumbersome tasks of retrieving and reading them. Not forgetting the heavy volumes of reference books and encyclopedias. Now that the digital highway is being made readily available for all who are able to get onto the super highway, we can now readily have whatever information we want in the comforts of our own home's couch. Like they say about the whole world being at the tip of our fingers. Yet, amidst of the information that is in abundance and abounding one cannot deny the fact that the information out there is mostly questionable nowadays. As netizens and newbies are being more computer literate and savvy, creating web pages and websites is just so simple. Postings are just easy and so now the net is amassing in significant numbers. However, I just have a niggling discomfort about the massing. And my worries are not unfounded. For if you are to conduct a search today, you may be like me be amazed by the amount of write upped information. Yet, you will have a hard time trying to discern and decide if the retrieved is actually authentic, accurate and most of all not a scam or fraudulent. Some of us may be mature, street wise, discerning and cautious enough to tell. However, people of these traits aren't just common and in majority of those who use the net. So, I am just wondering here if established search engine establishments should now go about emphasizing quality over quantity. Authenticity over scams and frauds. I am rambling here, but if you look a little deeper I think you will see some logic here. I think this is the least they could help to prevent and stop scams and frauds from thriving and claim another victim. So, much about this from me here. Do you have any better and constructive suggestions here? Let's hear it people. P.S. I am considering forwarding this discussion to the relevant search engines and maybe setup a policing body to assist them with the screening and quality management here - on the grounds that this discussion could produce a proactive result. So, fire away and keep it coming fellow myLotters!!
