State attorney general alleges without providing evidence that Google is manipulating search results, as tech firm says claim ‘totally false’
Missouri’s Republican attorney general has said he is launching an investigation into Google over allegations it was censoring conservative speech, as the tech corporation dismissed the claims as “totally false”.
“I am launching an investigation into Google for censoring conservative speech during the most consequential election in our nation’s history,” Andrew Bailey said in a post on X, without citing any example or evidence for his censorship claim.

Republicans have long claimed an anti-conservative bias on social media platforms with tech companies denying this.
Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, said last month he would seek the prosecution of Google if he won the election. Trump and his supporters have alleged without evidence that Google searches display only “bad stories” about the former US president.
Right? They’re already getting the kid glove treatment and still bitching and moaning that a fraction of the worst of their shit is potentially getting moderated**. Crybabies the whole lot of them.
** Bailey has provided no evidence to support this claim, so I’m sticking with “potentially”.
