Google's AI search dropped its emergency-call advice over nationalities but still flags people from Facebook

Google has modified its AI search summaries to remove automatic emergency service recommendations that were triggered when users searched for people of specific nationalities. The tool previously advised callers to seek safety or call emergency services if they mentioned being alone with individuals from certain ethnic backgrounds. While these specific triggers have been adjusted, the AI continues to generate similar safety warnings for searches involving people associated with Facebook.
