I think this would make a great additional reading, as you provide great info but also give a very human (i.e. non-perfect) account of your own experience. The analogy of an “oil spill” into information ecosystems is also nice - and maybe sticky. I would love if students started thinking about when they may be encountering an oil spill.

It's going to be a dangerous problem when the poisoning of our collective information repository (the web) becomes pervasive. What happens when searching things like "how to change car battery" return wrong instructions? Or when info on medicines gives false results? Etc. People are going to get hurt.
