Google Blocking Some Kyle Rittenhouse Searches

Google has no apparent interest in helping users purchase merchandise related to Kyle Rittenhouse, who on Friday was found by a jury to have acted in self-defense when he shot and killed two men in Wisconsin last summer.

The Big Tech titan has other plans for people seeking to buy items such as shirts related to the 18-year-old. If you conduct a Google search for “Kyle Rittenhouse shirts” under the shopping tab, you’re met with a message that reads: “Your search – Kyle Rittenhouse shirts – did not match any shopping results.”

There are, of course, numerous shirts which are available for purchase to support the teen who has become the face of self-defense against mob violence — if you dig deeper.

Google’s bias against Rittenhouse is more apparent when other searches are performed. For example, in just a few clicks, a search for “Che Guevara shirts” yields numerous ads where you can buy items with the face of the communist killer on websites such as eBay and Etsy.

Google takes you straight there, as it does when you search for shirts containing the likeness of murderous Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. In both other searches and numerous others, Google offers entire pages of shopping for Guevara, Stalin, Mao Zedong and other heroes of the far left.

Furthermore, a Google search in the news tab of “Rittenhouse” Saturday puts coverage of the teen’s trial from ultra-liberal CNN at the very top.

The treatment of the teen by Google is, of course, no surprise to people who have witnessed the way he has been treated by Big Tech from the beginning.

Some social media users were actually blocked from defending the teen last summer when he shot Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz in self-defense during a riot. Facebook and Twitter both prevented Rittenhouse from being portrayed as anything but a killer after he was arrested last year.

Seven-year-old grounded over 'foul language' misunderstanding

The thought of their child swearing at school is enough to make most parents see red - but one dad is worried his wife has taken punishment of their daughter too far after a misunderstanding in the classroom resulted in the seven-year-old getting in trouble for using 'foul language'.

The dad took to Reddit to ask for advice after returning home one day to find his daughter had been grounded for two weeks by her mother. His wife said the teacher had reprimanded the little girl for using the word "sex" during a classroom conversation.

"I asked my daughter where she had learnt the word and she said that she had heard mum telling her friend that she'll be there in a sec," explained the father. "She had then learnt that it means second, so she used it in plural form i.e. 'secs' while talking to her friend and the teacher called my wife after hearing her.

"I relayed the same to my wife but she said that it's still not acceptable for a kid to use such language and our daughter has to be disciplined. I told her to stop overreacting to such an innocent mistake. She told me I'm being very lax and that I'm not a good parent. She's refusing to talk to me or our daughter now."

Commenters agreed the little girl should not have been punished over a simple misunderstanding, with some saying the word 'sex' should not even be considered foul language.
