Bloomberg News reports:
Republican nominee Donald Trump called for his supporters to stop using Alphabet Inc.’s Google, calling the search engine “illegitimate” as he doubled down on his criticisms of large technology companies.
“Something’s wrong with Google,” Trump said in an interview with controversial video-game celebrity Adin Ross on Monday. “Everybody should maybe just go off Google, not use it.”
