House investigates Meta, Google over Trump assassination attempt info

The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer, is investigating Google and Meta for alleged censorship regarding the July assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Comer pointed out that Google’s autocomplete feature did not show results for the incident, raising concerns about how search information is managed. Google denied manual interference, stating its systems blocked predictions tied to political violence. Meta also faced scrutiny for mislabeling a fact-check and AI “hallucinations” regarding the event. The investigation seeks to understand how these platforms handle sensitive political content.
