Google lists GOP NC state senator as 'bigot' in controversial image
Google search results for a Republican politician from North Carolina on Friday displayed a photo of the woman with the word “bigot” written across the bottom before it was taken down.
The photo that appeared on the right side of the page, first reported by Vice News, showed a photo of North Carolina State Sen. Trudy Wade with the word "bigot" written in capital red letters under her headshot.
When contacted by Fox News, a Google spokesperson said that “Information and images from our Knowledge Panels are automatically sourced from around the web. When we are alerted to issues like this, we move quickly to fix the problem, as we did in this case.

do they get government money at Google?
Google’s true origin partly lies in CIA and NSA research grants for mass surveillance

The problem I personally have with her and people like her believe it's the government's place to use moral legislation based on their personal religious beliefs. Like gay married partners shouldn't get Healthcare because God said so.

So you wouldn't mind GOOG listing your or a family member's photo with the word 'FASCIST' stamped under it?

I have never made fascist comments or run for office making fascist statements.
It would probably say libertarian skeptic.

What if GOOGLE decided your "libertarian" comments made you a 'FASCIST' and listed your photo labelled "FASCIST".
Still okay?

This statement tells me you think Google made the appropriate move and they are not in the wrong.
So you think one ideology should be able to determine for everyone else what that person is or thinks or feels?

Let's be clear -- with a lot of legislation it is basically all morality of one form or another, even progressive legislation that you want to label secular is still a form of morality.
It's a clearly malicious and politically-biased abuse of it's own power and control.
Even the Left SHOULD be properly outraged over this election meddling.

This may be true but there is a clear understanding the US law was made to protect the little guy not the group like socialism. So we could also point out where progressive morality should not be used. Same as we are supposed to keep religion out of the legislative process.
Your reply seems to say since progressive legislation is not part of the founding American legal philosophy theological should also be allowed.
In 2015, a black software developer embarrassed Google by tweeting that the company’s Photos service had labeled photos of him with a black friend as “gorillas.”
More than two years later, one of those fixes is erasing gorillas, and some other primates, from the service’s lexicon.
