Google News Npr Personalised and Gmail Spam Issue
I use Google news most days. Reports about video games appear on my page almost every day and sometimes two or three per day. For the last two months I have marked most of these as an item I want to see fewer of. No reduction a s far as I can tell. Why invite noting preferences if not acted on?
I have also identified many local newspapers as sources I don’t want to see. The same websites do not reappear but I still get links for areas I have no connection with. I also get stuff that is PR handouts from companies, not news.
As for email, I get a lot of spam, often fraudulent, that uses gmail addresses. As I use Outlook for email, I have no easy way of reporting these to gmail. Lots of other companies make it a simple matter of forwarding the offending email as an attachment. Hy doesn’t Google do more to help make life for spammers and crooks more difficult?
