Google is coming in for sharp criticism after video went viral of the Google Nest assistant refusing to answer basic questions about the Holocaust — but having no problem answer questions about the Nakba.

    This just seems like a bug. I just tried it on my phone and it works fine. Meanwhile it won’t understand “Nakba”, it keeps thinking it was some english word.

    I think there’s a Google speaker sitting at my home so I’ll test that and get back to you guys, so you don’t have to trust tabloids and twitter users.

    Results:

    Phone: Holocaust - works, Nakba - does not understand

    Speaker: holocaust - works, Nakba - does not

    Results are in, I got pretty much the exact opposite this guy did
