NextImg:Google Is ‘Using Algorithms’ to ‘Campaign Against’ Trump, Senator Claims

Sen. Roger Marshall says he will launch an investigation into Google after the search engine suppressed content related to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. 

Google is “no longer functioning as a search engine that just assimilates” information, says Marshall, R-Kan., “but now they’re using algorithms to campaign against President Trump.” 

Initiating a Google search of “assassination attempt on president,” quickly reveals that Trump’s name is not within the autofill of suggested searches, although former Presidents Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan are. 

Initiating a search for “assassination attempt on president trum”—leaving off the “p”—generates “Truman,” but not Trump. Two men plotted to assassinate Truman in 1950, but the Secret Service stopped the men outside Blair House, the president’s guesthouse, in Washington before they had a chance to fire a shot at Truman.

Google enjoys legal protections under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Those protections shield Google and other platforms, such as Facebook and X, from civil liability for the content users of the platform generate. But if Google wants to act as a publisher, like a news outlet, they should not enjoy Section 230 protections, Marshall says. 

The Kansas Republican is calling on Google to explain what he regards as content suppression, but says he thinks that “if we had a strong commander in chief, that they would be intervening already.”

Marshall joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the investigation into what he asserts is Google’s content suppression. 

Marshall also weighs in on the plea deal reached with three terrorists behind the 9/11 attacks, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described as the mastermind of the attacks. The deal takes the death penalty off the table for the terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for them pleading guilty to a number of charges, including the murders of nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Kansas lawmaker explains why he thinks the deal is a “slap in the face” to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, and all who still suffer from physical injuries because of the terrorist attacks.
