Former US President Donald Trump has accused Google of censoring news and photos related to him, particularly following a failed assassination attempt on July 13. Trump claimed in an interview with Fox News that Google has been 'very irresponsible' and might face governmental action.

Google denied these allegations, explaining that their Autocomplete feature had issues related to political violence queries and a broader bug affecting search predictions for several past presidents, including Barack Obama. The company stated that improvements are being rolled out to rectify these problems.

Google further clarified that search results can sometimes show unexpected or imperfect predictions due to algorithmic processes and that they are committed to making ongoing improvements based on feedback.
