In a bold move, Missouri's Attorney General Andrew Bailey declared an investigation into Google, accusing the tech giant of censoring conservative viewpoints. These allegations come amidst a heated political atmosphere as the nation approaches the November elections.

For years, Republicans have accused tech companies of harboring anti-conservative biases, although firms like Google insist their platforms do not discriminate politically. In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump, vying for the upcoming election, hinted at prosecuting Google if elected once again.

A Google spokesperson categorically denied Bailey's claims, emphasizing their mission to provide broad access to information regardless of politics. As the investigation unfolds, many await substantive evidence supporting the accusations.
