- On Wednesday, Google search users discovered that former President Joe Biden was missing from the list of U.S. presidents.
- Google attributed the omission to a “data error” and confirmed that the issue has now been resolved.
- Google is among the major tech companies that donated large sums for the inauguration of Donald Trump.
Users were left shocked—and a bit amused—when they couldn’t find Joe Biden’s name on the list of U.S. Presidents on Google, the world’s largest search engine. Although the issue was quickly rectified, it became a major international news story within moments.
When users noticed that the list of U.S. Presidents on Google was missing Biden’s name, all other presidents were listed in order—except for Biden.
The error was first spotted by BlueSky users, many of whom speculated that Google might have deliberately excluded Biden’s name to please Donald Trump.
Social media users also claimed that this incident highlighted the tech company’s potential political bias.
A Google spokesperson later clarified that the mistake occurred due to a data issue, which was promptly corrected.
It’s worth noting that Google is among the major tech companies that donated large sums for the inauguration of Donald Trump.
