Jul 29, 2024, 03:43 AM
Allegations have surfaced that Google is implementing a search ban on former President Donald Trump, raising concerns about potential election interference. Multiple users reported that Google's autocomplete function fails to suggest Trump's name when typing 'President Donald,' instead offering alternatives like Donald Duck and Ronald Reagan. Prominent figures, including Elon Musk, have expressed alarm over the situation, questioning whether this constitutes tampering with the elections. Critics argue that this action could undermine democracy by polluting the marketplace of ideas and have called for legal consequences for Google. The issue has sparked a broader debate about the role of tech companies in influencing political outcomes. Additionally, Google's search functionality, represented by $GOOGL, has been described as broken by users.
