Google's AI-powered Gemini appears to struggle with certain politically sensitive topics, often saying it "can't help with responses on elections and political figures right now." This conservative approach sets Google apart from its rivals, who have tweaked their chatbots to discuss sensitive subjects in recent months. Despite announcing temporary restrictions for election-related queries, Google hasn't updated its policies, leaving Gemini sometimes struggling or refusing to deliver factual information.

- Will Google's approach to handling politically charged topics be a model for other companies, and what implications will this have for public discourse and the dissemination of information?
