A Missouri attorney general claims the tech giant has been “waging war on the democratic process” using its search service
Google is to be investigated for allegedly manipulating its search engine to undermine the democratic process in America, the Attorney General of the state of Missouri, Andrew Bailey, declared on Thursday.
In a post on X, the Republican politician accused the company of “censoring conservative speech during the most consequential election in our nation’s history” and, in doing so, of “waging war on the democratic process.”
In an additional statement to Fox News, Bailey said he suspected that Google is deemphasizing information in its search results about Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Conservative figures in the US have accused Big Tech of censoring their speech for years. Former President Trump mused earlier this month that he would push for a prosecution of Google if elected for a second term in office, for allegedly favoring the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris.
