Big Tech giant Google is expanding its online censorship as the critical 2024 elections draw near.
The new crackdown is being led by Google’s Jigsaw censorship division.
Jigsaw, originally called Google Ideas, was launched under former CEO Eric Schmidt in 2010.
Schmidt’s idea sought to tackle “issues at the intersection of technology and geopolitics.”
However, the program was later deemed too “open and honest” and was reworked into Jigsaw by Google’s parent company Alphabet.
