Is Anybody Buying Google's Explanation For Hidden Trump Assassination Attempt Search Results?

Posted • July 29, 2024: As we told you over the weekend, many people were noticing that the autofill feature on Google wouldn't not include a certain name for particular searches. Basically the search feature seemed to be hiding results about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GTixmnMWAAApdcv?format=jpg&name=large -- You can still even try different variations of similar searches and the autofill will not include anything about Trump getting shot just over two weeks ago.

Even North Korean state media might tell them to dial the level of propaganda down just a notch. -- Maggie Speaks @MaggiesMusings: “What a load of crap! We don’t need Google’s ‘protections’.
