Thank goodness people are pointing these issues out. I've been considering some blog posts to collect more info and hard examples of exactly this and similar google issues that are so often not talked about, especially by those who have ties to the big G.
There are indeed many keyword searches in which google is obviously censoring the internet in big chunks. Because they are so opaque no one knows if it's directed by a gov agency, or shareholders, or the vision of some guy at the top who thinks they need to grow up, or some small team that is so hellbent on destroying some things they do not worry about the collateral damage - or maybe it is "machine learning" figuring out if you censor big chunks here and there that people will spend more on ads.
Who knows? Very few people, and who is affected? Many people, many who do not even know it.
Facebook of all systems is changing thier over algo ways to be better for people and less for the algorythm - will things change with big G now that the last babysitter left?
Google's current path imho is becoming the next yellow pages. Sure they will do fine being embedded on so many mobile devices and being the go to place for crowd sourced directions and locations - but the yellow pages was king for a few days and then people realized it's value to the consumer and to the business was no longer what it was and now who is using yp?
More details on a non-google run blog soon.
Who can I trust not to give up ip info of posters to tech peeps at G? Wordpress.com? Oh wait, they use google fonts and all kinds of things don't they.
Hopefully people can help put this info together with me, it is prime time to create some new alternatives that only do slices of what G used to do well.
