Dear @realDonaldTrump: The next few months are going to be very difficult. We all have to work together. It is not helpful for you to keep misleading the American people. Google is not, and never was, building a nationwide test screening website. That’s what their statement says. https://t.co/xuxJYMTI1A

The Fake and Corrupt News never called Google. They said this was not true. Even in times such as these, they are not truthful. Watch for their apology, it won’t happen. More importantly, thank you to Google! https://t.co/AuvpbXNouW

This is certainly one way to get companies involved. Just announce that they already are, then rely on the fact that refuting the president might have dire consequences, and voila, 1700 Google Gnomes spring forth from the magic forest to implement a flowchart. https://t.co/YT0mc5uvVG

Interesting. After many reporters asked Google what the president was talking about and getting a very narrow response — it’s just a pilot for the Bay Area — the company a day later offers a lengthier statement that seems to parrot what Trump said.

What changed? https://t.co/zQ0YwzkH9V
“Officials in California were stunned to see the White House present their graphic for a modest pilot program that California's been developing with Alphabet as if it were a Trump administration program that was a nationwide initiative and ready to go...” https://t.co/FsnZ99RUQK

Google needs to very clearly state whether the information being spread by the White House is true or false. The company is aiding government misinformation by not addressing this more directly. Say whether Trump / Pence are correct or incorrect instead of this indirect comment https://t.co/freNsPPOrF

Google, after distancing itself from Trump’s inaccurate comments about a coronavirus website, now says it is “fully aligned” with the US government.

Google, a day later, says that it is building a website with info about coronavirus.

My apology?

In the middle of the president's news conference on Friday, I wrote Google PR an email (left).
A few hours later, I got a reply from Verily, not Google (right). https://t.co/14Ubx9Vdw5 pic.twitter.com/gTFAQ9CMA1

Simple question - @sundarpichai @Google_Comms @coreydu -- Did we call? If you're interested in fighting misinformation, this would be a good place to start. https://t.co/SJCUqouprW

I don’t understand this. Shouldn’t CDC be responsible for providing this information? Are privacy protections in place?

In Canada we have info about numbers of cases / and screening coming from health authorities. https://t.co/abdeoZVSeK
How did a Bay Area pilot project to find COVID-19 testing locations get sold as the nationwide Google testing website central to President Trump's efforts to combat the spread of the coronavirus ? Story w @shearm https://t.co/VJTxX5mvEE

Yes, Google is building what President Trump said he was building. But that seems to be a decision that was made sometime between Friday and now. https://t.co/yuAhvK1Zrs
