Google Censorship Buries [Alternative Health Website]

I'd like to see many more web sites have info about google's non-transparent censorship prominently displayed like this guy put together - showing alternatives for big G's products.

Maybe there is good reason for the harsh removal of this guy's site (even ruining the site:his-site searches! ouch) - Maybe someone manually hit it for quality 'your life your money' stuff and combined with the strict algo and so it's technically following the trust rules or whatever - that's not for me to judge at the moment.

The bigger issue imho is that there are many of these de-rank and de-list things happening and it's not transparent to the end users.

So many people have come to trust google to give you what you search for, and for years they have the Gplex has been cutting up more and more pieces of the internet to remove from their index - and there is no transparency about this.

So many people think everything on the internet can be found via google, (and some thing whatever is on fbook is the internet and know nothing beyond what is / can be shown there ) - if things are censored there, they likely assume the things don't exist.

I don't mean everyone, but I'd wager most people.

There were times when I have seen google put a notice at the bottom of each page of certain searches with something like "some results are not shown here that once were shown here due to chilling effects of legally mandated takedown requests" - click for more info..

So to me, that was snarky transparency - I think attempting to nudge people to try advocate for change with dmca forced censorship of google. Maybe I'm wrong in seeing it that way.

Anyhow - there was transparency when they were forced to remove listing for, was it movies? or movies and music and such mostly?

Yet we are not seeing transparency about removing listings such as the one this mercola place is mentioning that was shown and people visited, and many others.

I think most people don't even bookmark or otherwise save pages these days, assuming the "address bar" which has basically been hijacked by google search for most people - is going to re-find the info they had seen previously - or heard about from other people.. and now that info may have been shadow-banned essentially - and poof - that never really existed in the world.

This is the reason I think the reliance on google is more evil than fbook - at least with fbk they are more transparent about censoring many things.

The more places and people that post about the censorship and alternatives that are out there, the better I believe.

Good to see pseudo science being recognised for what it is.
