I prefer to say “shite removal” after the last half a decade. At least TPB adds value to peoples lives.

- colordrops 4y agoThe whole point is to have a place where you can see shite if you want. I don't need an online nanny.
- HeckFeck 4y agoI might agree with shite. Or I might wish to read it for my own amusement. Or perhaps I want to argue against the shite, in which case, I need to know what shite is out there. In any case, it doesn't matter. I only need the search engine to be an intermediary, not a curator. Besides, if someone accidentally searches for shite, he can revise his search terms. Just like how you might reword something if a listener was confused. This "curation" just doesn't need to exist. But that's a moral argument and those applying censorship aren't moral, so won't be partial to it.
- ldiracdelta 4y agoYes, the Overton Window must be enforced. We have always been at war with East Asia.
- somenameforme 4y agoIt depends on what you want out of a search engine. Do you want a search that tries to give you what it thinks you want? Or do you want a search that functions more like a library index where you're going to get what you searched for, even if that might ironically not really be exactly what you wanted - so the onus of creating a more correct search term is on you. This isn't a rhetorical question of course. There are major arguments for both. But I think a pretty good chunk of DDG users were more often after the library index than what ideally would be a librarian recommendation, but in reality is more like a stereotypical used car salesman style recommendation.
- fallingknife 4y agoI would be fine with either. But what I really don't want is a search engine that gives me what it thinks I should want.
- ta8903 4y agoRemoval of TPB was a positive too. Can't imagine how much loss of revenue these pirate sites have caused over the years.
