Google Removes Autocomplete Predictions Related to Election

In the fight against fake news, even a search engine’s autocomplete suggestions can create confusion. Google announced that it’s updating its autocomplete policies related to elections, adding that it will “remove predictions that could be interpreted as a claim about participation in the election” as well as “predictions that could be interpreted as claims for or against any candidate or political party.” Things that sound like they might be claims about voting methods, requirements or status of voting locations will not be shown either.
