The US Republican presidential candidate has accused the search engine of unfairly favoring his Democratic rival, VP Kamala Harris.
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has pledged to take legal action against Google if he is reelected this November, claiming that the tech company is intentionally displaying negative stories about him while promoting his Democratic competitor, Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his belief that the Department of Justice should pursue criminal charges against Alphabet's Google for what he describes as “blatant Interference of elections,” stating that he will “request their prosecution” upon his reelection.
“It has been determined that Google has illegally used a system of only revealing and displaying bad stories about Donald J Trump, some made up for this purpose while, at the same time, only revealing good stories about Comrade Kamala Harris,” the former president wrote.
Earlier this month, the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog, released a study indicating that Google has placed Harris’ campaign website in a more favorable position in its search results compared to the official site of the Trump campaign.
In response to these claims, the tech giant asserted that it does not manipulate search results to favor a specific political party. A Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “Both campaign websites consistently appear at the top of Search for relevant and common search queries.”
Trump has previously criticized the tech company, alleging that it promotes “fake news” in its search results, which he claims are “rigged” against him and other conservatives. Google has refuted these claims.
In July, US tech billionaire Elon Musk also accused Google of bias against Trump. He shared a screenshot showing the results when the query ‘President Donald’ was entered into the search bar. The image illustrated how Google’s autocomplete feature, which suggests completions based on input, did not display ‘President Donald Trump’ but instead displayed ‘President Donald Duck’ and ‘President Donald Reagan.’
At that time, a Google representative informed NBC News that the autocomplete function was experiencing problems that day, adding that the company was “looking into these anomalies and working on improvements.”
