Google Accused of Blocking Trump Dementia Search Results
Google’s search results have raised questions of bias, as the platform appears to be hiding AI-generated summaries for queries regarding Donald Trump’s potential dementia while offering summaries for Joe Biden. Specifically, when users search for “does Trump show signs of dementia,” no AI Overview is provided, but for similar queries about Biden, Google offers an AI-generated response outlining different perspectives. The absence of AI summaries for Trump contrasts with the company’s AI-generated responses for Biden, prompting speculation about Google’s motivations, especially given the former president’s contentious relationship with the platform. A Google spokesperson stated that the absence of AI overviews is due to the automated systems that do not always provide consistency, particularly in the current events.
