Google Faces Allegations of Suppressing Trump Assassination Attempt Searches Amid Election Interference Claims

Jul 28, 2024, 05:29 PM

Google is facing allegations of suppressing search results related to an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. Multiple users have reported that Google's autocomplete feature does not suggest searches related to the incident, while searches for other political figures' assassination attempts do appear. Critics argue that this suppression is part of a broader effort by Big Tech to interfere in the 2024 election, potentially benefiting Kamala Harris. Some users have tested the search functionality themselves and confirmed the lack of autocomplete results for queries about the Trump assassination attempt. The controversy has sparked accusations of censorship and historical erasure by Google. Additionally, there are claims that Google also works to suppress Republican fundraising emails in Gmail and that this incident is being called the biggest domestic terrorism event since 9/11.
