The US President Donald Trump has accused the search engine giant Google of having biased news about him, showing only “bad” ones. He tweeted:
“Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation – will be addressed!”
Trump often tends to comment on any negative news about him on the social media platform, referring to them as “fake news”. Moreover, he has previously criticised another social giant, Facebook, as always having anti-Trump posts. Both Facebook and Twitter have recently faced criticism and were pressured to remove foreign conspiracy accounts aimed at American politics.
Moreover, Trump has accused social medias of “silencing millions of people”: “People have to figure out what is real, and what is not, without censorship!”, he added without providing any evidence to support his argument.
Are bad news necessarily fake news?
