Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google was highlighted in a recent Forbes article titled, “Google Ad Reveals Search Giant’s Feelings On Bitcoin And Crypto,” authored by Billy Bambrough.

The bitcoin community countered by highlighting the incorrect search results regarding the “CEOs of bitcoin” (http://ccw.fm/xST08). “Entities in the Knowledge Graph and associations between them are automatically generated based on available information on the web,” a Google spokesperson told Vice’s tech site Motherboard. “It’s not always perfect, and when we’re made aware of incorrect associations, we work to fix the error.”
