Social media users have accused Google of attempting to suppress or censor information regarding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump two weeks ago.
They claim that Google’s search results do not prominently feature or accurately reflect the details of this event, leading to frustration and concern over perceived manipulation or control of the narrative.
Critics argue that this is not the first time Google has been accused of such actions. In the past, users have alleged that the tech giant has downplayed or obscured information related to Trump and other politically sensitive topics. These accusations include instances where news about Trump’s rallies, policy announcements, or controversial statements were reportedly harder to find or buried under less relevant search results.
Many users feel that by controlling search algorithms and curating information, companies like Google wield significant power over what the public sees and learns. They point to specific search results and comparisons, suggesting that news stories about the alleged assassination attempt are either missing or not given the prominence they deserve. This selective visibility amounts to a form of censorship that undermines transparency and democratic principles.
