Senator Marshall Officially Launches Investigation Against Google for Alleged Election Interference — Accused of Rigging Search Results to Prioritize Left-Wing Propaganda
Kansas Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) has announced an investigation into Google, accusing the woke tech giant of manipulating search results to suppress information regarding the recent assassination attempt on President Trump.
Over the weekend, users across various platforms reported that searches for terms related to the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump yielded no relevant autocomplete suggestions.
Instead, the algorithm appeared to prioritize historical incidents involving other political figures, such as Presidents Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan, along with unrelated events like the shooting of musician Bob Marley.
“This raises serious questions about Google’s intentions,” Senator Marshall tweeted. “Why is Google suppressing the search about the Trump assassination attempt? These are all screenshots from this morning. Has there been a dramatic increase in Truman biographers in the last two weeks?”
Senator Marshall officially sent a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai demanding answers and calling for a full congressional inquiry into Google’s “blatant bias” against conservative voices.
In his letter, Senator Marshall stated:
“Google’s failure to provide suggestions related to the assassination attempt against President Trump on July 13, 2024, as part of its search function is yet another example of censorship against conservative voices and violates the intent of Section 230.
Omitting suggestions to the most obvious and recent victim of an assassination attempt shows willful discrimination against President Trump and users of your search engine. Furthermore, Google’s decision to selectively erect hurdles to those seeking to obtain more information regarding one of the most important events in recent American history places you in the role of information arbiter, well beyond the scope of your firm’s purported purpose.”
I ask that you provide the answers to the following questions no later than Friday, August 9th, 2024.
Why does Google’s search suggestion function create automated entries for “assassination attempt on President Truman” but not “assassination attempt on President Trump”?
Who oversees the algorithmic search function at Google?
Can you discuss why you believe hiding violent search results is better for the public discourse than offering up-to-date information?
What decisions were made at Google in the aftermath of the July 13th assassination attempt in regards to searches for the July 13th attack on President Trump?
Please provide any written correspondence between employees at Google regarding updating the search function in response to the July 13th attack
If autocomplete systems have protections against “political violence” why does the system make suggestions after querying the words “political violence”?
What are some other global instances in which Google took the same precautions as they have with the events of July 13th?
What is Google’s timeline for adding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump to it autocomplete search feature?
What is Google’s timeline for making the attempted assassination of Donald Trump a search Topic, similar to that of the attempted assassination of Harry Truman, on Google?
