Obama is planning a secret communist coup to overthrow the United States government.
At least, that’s what Google says.
The Californian search giant is being criticised because of how it promotes fake news and wild conspiracy theories on its smart home device and in its search results via the Featured Snippets feature — including the nutty claim that Obama is “in bed with the Communist Chinese.”
Below is a video — filmed by the BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones — of Google Home spouting the nonsense answer. He asks the smart-home device “is Obama planning a coup?”, to which it replies that “Obama may in fact be planning a Communist coup d’etat at the end of his term in 2016.” In another test “Google Home” says Republicans are nazis.
