Donald Trump accuses Google of
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said, “Google is very bad. They are very irresponsible. I think Google is getting close to shutdown because Congress will not tolerate this. Google has to be careful.” He alleged that it was difficult to find a picture or anything else on Google about the deadly attack on him on July 13. However, Google has denied these allegations.
Google said in a social media post that in the last few weeks, people have complained that Google searches are being ‘censored’ or some terms are being ‘banned’, but this is not the case. In fact, what is being complained about is an autocomplete feature, which is meant to save your time.
Google admitted that the autocomplete feature was not predicting news about the deadly attack on Trump. This is because it has security related to political violence, and those systems were out of date on that day. Google admitted that the feature should have been visible to the user, but was not visible on that day. The search engine clarified that the feature is being fixed after the incident and the complaints received related to it.
