Google Censoring Torrent Search Suggestions: 7 Terrible Things They Don’t Censor

Google’s war against torrents is being kept quiet. No announcements. No press releases. You will only find the story in blogs that are carefully watched.

In essence, Google is removing keywords from their Suggest and Instant results so that they are no longer recommended when people start typing them. If you continue all the way through on a term such as “BitTorrent,” Google will offer the results. Reluctantly. They won’t help you out at all, even if you type all the way to the “n.” Try typing in “BitTorren” without the last “t” into Google.

Have you thought that maybe they are just trying to not get sued by the evil RIAA or litigious porno producers ? Facebbok did something similar in removing all links to TPB. I doubt that was censorship. Its just their lawyers watching their own AS*!

And please stop whining about your rights being threatened when you feel threatened that you thievery may one day come to an end.
