Google Accused of Suppressing Trump Assassination Attempt Search Results, Shadow Banning

Google is facing accusations of suppressing search results related to an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Users have reported that when searching for terms such as 'Trump assassination attempt,' the autocomplete feature does not suggest relevant results, unlike searches for other historical assassination attempts. This has led to allegations of intentional censorship and bias, with some suggesting that Google is trying to minimize the visibility of the event. Critics argue that this suppression, which includes shadow banning, could be part of a broader effort by Big Tech to interfere with political discourse and elections.
