Learn how Google tracks behavior and discover alternative search engines, such as DuckDuckGo. We will also identify ways to evaluate news sites to determine if they are reputable and credible.

Did you know that when you use Google and other popular search engines your results are based on past user behavior? Search privacy is a growing concern. Pew reports that 66% of adults do not feel confident that activity records maintained by search engine providers will remain private and secure (May 2015). In addition, the 2016 presidential election has shed a spotlight on the growing number of fake news websites. In this session, we'll discuss Google behavior-tracking and how to determine if news sites are credible. Class size is limited to 12 and is first come/first served.
