NRB Thanks Attorneys General For Multistate Letter to Google

NRB sent letters of appreciation to seventeen state attorneys general who wrote to Google chief executive Sundar Pichai to warn the tech giant not to discriminate against crisis pregnancy centers in Google search results.

In June, Democrat lawmakers urged that very course of action, asking Google to suppress information about pregnancy resource centers in search results on the company’s products.

In a strong rejoinder, Republican attorneys general wrote to Pichai on July 21, “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.”
