The Google/Clinton Conspiracy meme stems from the 2016 US Presidential election, where users alleged that Google's autocomplete algorithm was intentionally hiding negative search queries regarding Hillary Clinton. Specifically, typing 'Hillary Clinton cri' would suggest 'crime reform' instead of 'crimes' or 'criminal investigation.' While Google explained this as a standard algorithm filter against disparaging terms, the internet quickly turned the anomaly into a viral meme. Today, the template is used to mock perceived corporate bias, algorithmic interference, or any situation where a digital platform seems to be hiding an obvious truth behind helpful suggestions.
