            The screenshot I provide could be fake like the OP post probably is. So I didn’t see the benefit in providing one.

              It’s not fake. See my screen caps elsewhere in this.

              The only people who think this is fake is those that don’t know how to operate Google trends

                Just checked again. It’s not there but I do see some <1% blips if I scrub over the timeline.

                  Well a major world event happened. The blips were substantial before that each volume blew them out.

                  And it’s not clear to me what people are actually reacting to, because there are actually two interesting things. Look at the figures I pulled which are timeline aligned.

                  Israel seemed to know the shooter ID before the US did (look at the shape of the peak and curve) and some people seemed to be searching the name 12 hours before it happened.

                    Heaven forbid someone in Israel look up a name. This pattern probably goes back a long way. The blips are there for the U.S. too. This person shares a name with an actor.

                I don’t understand

                Edit: do you mean it’s ironic how both me and the post image both rely on trust? I didn’t say this is 100% fake. I just said I didn’t see that when I looked at the data. Just go to trends.google.com and check yourself if you’re so inclined.
