Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said he is investigating Google, claiming that the tech giant censors conservative speech and manipulated search results about Donald Trump.
“BREAKING: I am launching an investigation into Google—the biggest search engine in America—for censoring conservative speech during the most consequential election in our nation’s history. Google is waging war on the democratic process. It’s time to fight back,” Bailey wrote on X, the social network owned by notable Trump supporter Elon Musk.
The New York Post quoted a Bailey spokesperson saying that “evidence has come to light that Google is deemphasizing conservative speech or content—such as putting conservative reporting on Page 11 rather than Page 1—by manipulating search results.” The spokesperson said Google “has an obligation to consumers to utilize fair business practice” and that “we will be subpoenaing information on Google’s algorithms and other systems to determine whether they are censoring conservative speech.”
