Google getting heat for omitting Trump assassination from search By

Google (NASDAQ:) search engine's Autocomplete feature was not providing suggestions for searches related to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump,US three major online foreign exchange trading companies according to a report in the New York Post.

In response, Donald Trump Jr. accused Google of "intentional election interference" in a social media post that featured a screenshot of the Autocomplete results.

"Big Tech is trying to interfere in the election AGAIN to help Kamala Harris. We all know this is intentional election interference from Google. Truly despicable," Trump Jr. wrote in a post on social media platform X.

The issue came to light when users, including a Texas congressman and  Trump Jr., noticed that typing "the assassination attempt of" into Google's search bar did not yield any mention of Trump, despite doing so for other US presidents who have been assassinated or faced assassination attempts.

Contrarily, searches for John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, and other past presidents immediately offered relevant Autocomplete suggestions.

Even when using the keywords "Trump assassination attempt," Google's Autocomplete did not provide any additional terms, according to an analysts performed by the New York Post.

However, Google's search results still directed users to news articles about the incident that occurred on July 13.

In response to the concerns, a Google spokesperson stated that there was no "manual action taken on these predictions." 

Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) also expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation on social media, questioning why Google was suppressing searches about the Trump assassination attempt.
