Senator Demands Google Executives to Testify on Trump Search Results

Google has acknowledged that its autocomplete search results regarding the assassination attempt on former President Trump were intentionally restricted as part of its policy against "hypothetical political violence against current figures." This revelation follows an investigation initiated by Senator Roger Marshall, R-Kan., after the July 13 incident, which received significant media attention but was not reflected in Google’s search suggestions. Marshall raised concerns about the company's algorithms and decision-making processes in a letter to Google. In response, Mark Isakowitz, Google’s Vice President of Government Affairs, outlined the company's policies, stating that they do not allow predictions that could be interpreted as serious accusations without substantial evidence. Despite this, Marshall reported that as of July 28, the autocomplete function continued to omit results related to the assassination attempt, prompting him to accuse Google of deliberately blocking such information. Marshall criticized Google, labeling it a "monopolistic agent of propaganda for the globalist Left," and expressed intentions to hold the company accountable. He announced that the committee would launch a full investigation into Google's practices, emphasizing the need for transparency and consequences for the tech giant's actions. While currently in the minority, Republicans could gain a stronger position in the committee following the upcoming elections, potentially leading to a more comprehensive inquiry into Google's policies and their implications for political discourse. Google did not respond to requests for comment from FOX Business.
