Kyle Rittenhouse by any reasonable measure is an American Hero! To censor a search for him can only be described as a political act to further a leftist communist agenda. There are specific campaign finance laws that apply to the activities of a super PAC that engages in this kind of activity.

Google should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Any information related to covid or vaccines too, including the disappearance of Tiffany Dover after her vaccination.

Google is 10 pages of results saying "TIFFANY JUST WANTS PRIVACY, LEAVE HER FAMILY ALONE". And alt right conspiracy etc.

Duckduckgo shows links where people have actually noticed Tiffany never appeared on video again, nor posted on social media, nor showed up at work.

Can confirm, looks like active censorship.

Step 1: open shopping.google.com in private window, search kyle rittenhouse shirt. Response is

Your search - kyle rittenhouse shirt - did not match any shopping results.

and nothing else.

Now do step 1 again, but just mash your fingers on the keyboard to produce gibberish. Response is

Your search - ovejv[rgv - did not match any shopping results. Suggestions: Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords. Trending searches

If the Rittenhouse search was legitimately turning up nothing, it would have the suggestions and trending as well, which it does not.

I didn't get the same results.

For me, I got:

Sort by: Relevance Your search - kyle rittenhouse shirt - did not match any shopping results.

Suggestions:

Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords. Try fewer keywords.

With one actual working link. With the gibberish, I didn't get any links. Maybe that's just your computer.
