Rick Santorum and Google are not seeing eye to eye over results that display when people search the Republican presidential candidate’s name.
According to CNN, when people Google Santorum's name, the first result is not his personal website but a fake definition of "santorum," a sexual byproduct that is graphically described.
On Tuesday, the former U.S. Senator attacked Google, going so far as to say that it could get rid of the sexual references to his name on the search results if it wanted to, and perhaps would do so if he were a Democrat.
He contacted Google directly as well.
Santorum told Politico in an interview, “I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they'd get rid of it. If you're a responsible business, you don't let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country. To have a business allow that type of filth to be purveyed through their website or through their system is something that they say they can't handle, but I suspect that's not true.”
In response, a Google spokesman told CNN in an email, “Google's search results are a reflection of the content and information that is available on the Web. Users who want content removed from the Internet should contact the webmaster of the page directly. Once the webmaster takes the page down from the Web, it will be removed from Google's search results through our usual crawling process. We do not remove content from our search results, except in very limited cases such as illegal content and violations of our webmaster guidelines.”
