đ¨BREAKING: I am launching an investigation into Google â the biggest search engine in America â for censoring conservative speech during the most consequential election in our nationâs history.
Google is waging war on the democratic process.
Itâs time to fight back.
â Attorney General Andrew Bailey (@AGAndrewBailey) October 25, 2024
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has opened a probe into Google, alleging that the tech giant is censoring conservative content during a critical election period. Baileyâs office will issue subpoenas to examine Googleâs algorithms and their potential impact on conservative visibility in search results.
In his announcement, Bailey accused Google of âwaging war on the democratic processâ and suppressing Trump campaign information before Election Day. The Attorney General emphasized the investigationâs importance, calling for transparency and accountability in Googleâs content practices.
Google has firmly denied these allegations, stating its commitment to nonpartisan search results that serve all users impartially. This investigation echoes longstanding tensions between Google and conservative leaders who have raised prior concerns over perceived algorithmic bias. Baileyâs initiative signals escalating scrutiny on big techâs influence over information access in todayâs politically charged environment.
