Trump’s Bogus Google Claims Still Stir Up Tech Risk

It’s tempting to ignore the early morning tweets of a technology-challenged U.S. president. But in the wee hours on Tuesday, Donald Trump posted a vague threat to take action against Google for displaying web search results of legitimate news stories he apparently didn’t like.

Trump is wrong on the facts, but his complaints underscore the business threats to tech companies from growing and largely disingenuous complaints that Google and other U.S. internet companies are stifling conservative viewpoints.
