In what seems to be a glitch in Google Images search algorithm, Pakistan’s Flag appears on the results page when you search for “Best toilet paper in the world”
Best Toilet Paper In The World
While the reasons for this glitch is unknown, Google is yet to respond or take action. Just Google, “Best toilet paper in the world”. And what you get is the green and white national flag of Pakistan as the top result.
Not just that, other search terms including "best China-made toilet paper" and "toilet paper" gives you the national flag of Pakistan as the top result. Social media was ablaze with screenshots of the search engine displaying images of the Pakistan flag. And soon #besttoiletpaperintheworld was trending on Twitter.
Pulwama Terror Attack
The Google image search result popped up two days after the terror attack on a CRPF convoy that killed 40 jawans in Lethpora in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. It was the deadliest terror attack on security personnel in the state in recent times.
Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) claimed the responsibility for the Pulwama terror attack. The bus was part of a convoy of 78 vehicles carrying CRPF personnel from Jammu to Srinagar. Adil Ahmed Dar was identified as a local of Kakapora in Pulwama district. A day after the Pulwama terror attack, India withdrew "Most Favoured Nation" or MFN status accorded to Pakistan.
It must be noted that there were many similar instances where Google Images gave us results that were very controversial.

That, someone, was President Trump.
