Man Says Google's Autocomplete Feature Destroyed His Life

A mild-mannered man says his life was completely ruined after Google's autocomplete feature convinced the government he was building a bomb.

Jeffrey Kantor, then a government contractor, intended to search the web for "How do I build a radio-controlled airplane". The search engine auto-completed his request, turning it into ""How do I build a radio controlled bomb?"

Following the 2009 incident, Kantor says he was under constant surveillance, with his every physical and digital move monitored by the government.
