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.

Apparently, they have no idea what you’re talking about.

It’s their search and they’ve made their choice. The funny part is that something as relatively harmless as downloading torrents is considered taboo on Google, but there are plenty of other more harmful searches that Google is all too willing to recommend…

  1. so just because you can’t auto-complete the words it means that they’re censoring it? I tried it out myself and you can still search for and find the websites

  2. So you want google to be your nanny ? instead of fighting for allowing search for EVERYTHING you want them to censor more ? Sheep.

  3. You are comparing auto complete on frases with auto complete on a single word…
    If you type “torrent ava” it will suggest “torrent avatar” and “torrent avatar the last airbender”.
    People really like to make up conspiracy stories… Just get a life.

  4. Google stops auto-suggesting if the RESULTS brings up dodgy stuff, it’s the same with google instant. Does the same for some swear words. You can search for it, but it won’t auto-suggest.
