Google restores Joe Biden to ‘U.S. presidents’ search results, blames ‘data error’ for omission


Users on Wednesday night noticed Google search results omitted President Joe Biden from the list of U.S. presidents.

Google on Thursday blamed a "data error" after users reported that former President Joe Biden was missing from the company's search results. The mistake comes after Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent a memo to employees on Election Day in November, asking them to remember that people turn to the company's services for "high-quality and reliable information." "Whomever the voters entrust, let's remember the role we play at work, through the products we build and as a business: to be a trusted source of information to people of every background and belief," Pichai wrote.
