Google Trends search data indicates that the Tar Heels and March Madness were the most popular Internet searches related to North Carolina during the past week. House Bill 2, the North Carolina General Assembly’s bill that repealed parts of Charlotte’s anti-discrimination ordinance, came in second to basketball in popularity. Gov. Pat McCrory blamed the backlash over HB2 on inaccurate news coverage and said that it misleads the public. The topic of transgender bathroom use and HB2 dominated Google’s newsfeed. The search trend data is updated in real time, which means that the popularity of a topic can change at any given moment, according to the interest level.
