*AG Paxton Sends Letter to Google Urging Fair Access to Crisis Pregnancy Centers*
?
AUSTIN ?Attorney General Paxton sent a Virginia-led multistate letter to the CEO of Alphabet Inc.?the multinational Big Tech conglomerate of which Google is a part?urging the company not to discriminate against crisis pregnancy centers in search results and online advertising. Democratic politicians have recently asked Google to limit the appearance of pro-life clinics in Google search results, advertisements, and Google Maps entries, and Google appears to have caved to those demands.??
?
The letter asks Google to advise the co-signing Attorneys General whether it has adjusted its search results and advertisements to discriminate against crisis pregnancy centers, and if so, how.??
?
?Unfortunately, several national politicians now seek to wield Google?s immense market power by pressuring the company to discriminate against pro-life crisis pregnancy centers,? the letter says. ?As the chief legal officers of our respective States, we the undersigned Attorneys General are extremely troubled by this gallingly un-American political pressure. . . . If you fail to resist this political pressure, we will act swiftly to protect American consumers from this dangerous axis of corporate and government power."
