Elon Musk, one of the world's richest people known for his good relationship with former US President Donald Trump, made a new post that serves as proof of this relationship. Posting on his X platform, Musk said, "Wow, Google has a search ban on President Donald Trump! Election interference?"
In the image shared by Musk, it was seen that "President Donald" was typed into Google and only the 40th US President Ronald Reagan and, in a "humorous" way, "President Donald Duck" searches appeared.
However, users commenting under Musk's post criticized him, noting that he himself has censored and banned certain searches on Twitter. On the other hand, many users stated that they were able to access results when they searched for the name Donald Trump on Google.
STATEMENT FROM GOOGLE
In response to the reactions, Google stated that no "manual action" had been taken to influence search predictions.
It was noted that their systems have built-in protections against autocomplete suggestions related to political violence and that they were working as intended during this incident.
