Answer 2

Explanation:

The focus of the search on the internet should be on getting correct details and composing a full picture of an issue, rather than accepting the first thing user read. On the Internet, anyone can publish, quickly and cheaply, so the user has to verify the details by confirming it with multiple sources.

In order to evaluate details on the Internet, the user must always ask "Who wrote this?" and "Why did they write it". On websites with an undisclosed publisher on internet, the user can't find this information.
