Technology giant Google came under fire Thursday after the search engine listed “Nazism” as the official ideology of the California Republican Party, sparking outrage from GOP supporters across the country.
According to Vice News, the term “Nazism” was used to describe the party’s ideology in the search engine’s “knowledge panel,” which shows quick information on a subject the user may be interested in.
Google has since removed the party’s “ideology” panel from the search engine.
“It is disgraceful that the world’s largest search engine has labeled millions of California Republicans as Nazis,” said GOP congressman Kevin McCarthy.
“This is just the latest incident in a disturbing trend to slander conservatives. These damaging actions must be held to account. The bias has to stop,” he added.
Looks like Google is just pulling the summary of the organization from Wikipedia. And given that Wiki is editable by anyone, I would bet a whiny, snotty-nosed, basement-dwelling Republican loser added that so they can get their daily dose of victimhood.
You already know Google didn’t get slap the Nazi label there on purpose but just pulled what is usually relevant information and displayed it. You already saw how quickly they removed it when pointed out. How does that previous post makes sense in the context of being knowledgeable about Google?
Even the OP calls it a glitch (though that’s probably just for the alliteration)
It’s really hilarious that hardcore righties have no ******* clue how the internet works. It’s a complete mystery to them, and it makes them feel victimized. But it’s just their own ignorance that is to blame.
Yes, and that has literally nothing to do with the way Google scrapes wiki to populate the right-hand info box. This is the most nothingest story that ever nothinged.
You righties are just clueless when it comes to the internet. It’s ******* embarrassing how bad you suck at understanding it.
The information presented by the Google search result is a summary taken from Wikipedia. Wikipedia is community-sourced, meaning anyone can edit it.
Today someone edited the California GOP page and added “Fascism” to their ideology. The IP address 50.225.53.2 was that of the editor.

Google had nothing to do with this. Got it? It was most likely a whiny, snotty-nosed Republican that loves to be a victim in life.
