Finally, Google apologizes Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Post Twitter’s outreach towards his image showing up in a search for the "Top 10 criminals in India," Google apologized to the Indian leader on Wednesday.
"These results trouble us and are not reflective of the opinions of Google," the Internet search-engine said in a statement.
"Sometimes, the way images are described on the internet can yield surprising results to specific queries. We apologize for any confusion or misunderstanding this has caused. We're continually working to improve our algorithms to prevent unexpected results like this," Google said.
The other images which show up in an image search for the 10 criminals include Dawood Ibrahim, Osama Bin Laden, American gangster Al Capone, Sanjay Dutt, Hafiz Saeed, Bill Gates and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal.
On Wednesday, #Top10Criminals was the number one trend in India on Twitter, and it also trended worldwide.
Many expressed their doubts about how the search Giant can be so ignorant on the mistake and why it hasn’t removed the images until it was escalated on Twitter.
