WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who is the Republican presidential candidate, said on Friday he will seek the prosecution of Google if he wins the Nov. 5 election, claiming that the company only displays “bad stories” about him.
Trump, in his post on Truth Social, gave no evidence for his assertion about Google.
“It has been determined that Google has illegally used a system of only revealing and displaying bad stories about Donald J. Trump, some made up for this purpose while, at the same time, only revealing good stories about” Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Trump said.
If I was google I would estimate the cost of said prosecution an start funding things to prevent Trump.
If I was google I’d simply sue for defamation. Seems pretty open shut, considering Trump is claiming a law to have been broken and that is blatantly and easily verifiably untrue.
If I were google, I’d just remove any positive mention of him from people’s search results.
let him scream into a void. it’s not like they’re not legally allowed to fuck over a person.
They’ve got the bank account to do so successfully. But I don’t think they’d wanna piss off his lunatic supporters and risk domestic terrorism.
Probably don’t even wanna get into it. Streisand effect, and probably just want to avoid all the discovery that would entail.
