Missouri AG Investigates Google for Bias Claims

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has launched an investigation into Google, alleging that the tech giant is censoring conservative speech and manipulating search results to undermine Donald Trump's campaign ahead of the 2024 election. Bailey claims to have evidence that Google is intentionally placing conservative content lower in search results, which he describes as interference in the democratic process. Google has vehemently denied these allegations, asserting that their search results are nonpartisan and serve all users equally. Bailey plans to issue subpoenas to obtain information on Google's algorithms to substantiate his claims. This investigation follows a pattern of accusations from prominent conservatives, including Donald Trump, who has vowed to pursue criminal charges against Google if re-elected. The scrutiny of Google's practices has intensified, particularly after recent political events involving Trump.
