I... What? This is so disconnected from any experience I've ever had searching anything I don't even know how to approach it. What on Earth do viral memes have to do with anything? What does "banned" even mean in this context? There's no such thing as a ban from Google search. And if I were to hazard a guess I think you dramatically overestimate the role of neural networks in search in general.

"banned" in this context probably means that idiotic popup about "unusual traffic detected from your machine" and if i would "pretty please run some anti-virus scanning software please". This happens often when creating complex search terms with 'inurl' and 'intext' operators. This happens to me at least once a month.

  Just curious, do you live in a western country? Do you have a Google account? I use funny queries like that often but I've seen that message maybe only once or twice before. There must be some additional factors involved.

    Western country while logged in on my google account. I've given it some thought myself, I have that account logged in from a variety of systems: linux boxes and windows boxes some behind a vpn, some not. I suppose it sometimes looks like my account is used for botting, but then again: why wouldn't I be allowed to connect my bot to their results, given that google uses bots to index the content in the first place? Despite the fact that I could probably adjust to better fit their 'nothing weird going on here' preconceptions, I think I'd rather complain and hope that over time it's google that will change.

      Clearing cookies and use of a shared VPN server are the main culprits for this error. If neighbouring IP's to yours abuse Google services, you'll see way more of these errors.
