March 19, 2023 — Pernicious “bots” causing trouble


I’ve noticed something weird over the last three or four days when I try to use the Internet to search for field hockey stories.

If you go through Google News, searching for the term “field hockey,” a number of the results refer to events which have already occurred, and a bunch of unfamiliar sites have taken these stories and have redirected them to foreign websites with nothing to do with field hockey.

I tried changing my browser, and I find the same phenomenon: if you try to sort field hockey news stories by date, you get a lot of junk rather than the latest and greatest from the world of field hockey.

Oddly enough, I don’t see this happening in other sorts that I have done, such as for lacrosse. Why this is so, I have no idea.

All I know is that the marketers and hackers from all over the world have somehow targeted the game of field hockey for their nefarious schemes.

Makes you wonder what the next kind of world wide weirdness will be.
