Coincidentally, I remember a movie I saw at age 9 titled The Amazing Panda Adventure. It was a terribly acted family movie where a young American boy visits China and winds up helping his father (who is a zoologist) rescue a panda cub from (and I’m quoting IMDB here) “unscrupulous poachers and saves a panda reserve from officious bureaucrats.” It seems almost fitting that Google would choose “Panda” as a naming convention for an algorithm through which I’ve found some well-intentioned websites get caught in the bear trap of Google’s algorithmic penalty box.…
