Sep 9, 2024, 10:25 PM
Google has been accused of election interference by allegedly manipulating its search engine advertisements to favor Kamala Harris. According to Dakota Leazer, a Google Growth Strategist, the company promoted pro-Kamala rhetoric through its ads. This information was revealed in a video released by James O'Keefe, obtained through an undercover operation. The video claims that Google blocks ads featuring Donald Trump while allowing those with Kamala Harris, raising concerns about political bias and the integrity of the upcoming election. Additionally, YouTube reportedly permits ads with Kamala's image but blocks those with Trump's, further highlighting the alleged revenue-driven political bias.
