Google search results omit Biden’s presidency when someone searches for US presidents in order.
Former president Joe Biden’s reign in the Oval Office was completely removed from the Google search results for the term “US President” for a time on Thursday morning.
The glitch was fixed around 2:00 am Eastern time, it’s not clear for how long Biden was written out of Google’s history.
The list given President Donald Trump has served as the last two presidents of the United States before normal service resumes, naming presidents Obama, W. Bush, Clinton, etc.
US presidents in order
The erasing of the Biden administration was first noticed by BlueSky users, many of whom believed it was big tech’s latest attempt to cozy up to Trump.
On Monday, the biggest names in Silicon Valley, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai joined ‘First Buddy’ Elon Musk to watch Trump become inaugurated as the 47th president.
Musk later stole the headlines following an appearance at a rally in which he made an “odd salute.”
“If this stands, this will be one of the boldest and most dangerous moments in the existence of the Internet, as it will be a clear show of force that those in opposition will disappear completely,” wrote one user.
“Joe Biden was deleted from Google’s list of Presidents. My guess is it is a high-level hack?” said another.
“Google United States Presidents and Biden is not on there. This is bigger than social media,” wrote another.
In the days leading up to the search glitch, millions of Meta users began complaining that their accounts were forced to follow President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, and were forbidden from unfollowing.
