google "pizzagate" alone, and you WILL NOT find voat. If you do, it is a change from an hour ago. This is the point of the censorship. If someone has voat in the search, they already know of us. If they google just pizzagate, they may be curious, wanting to learn more, but they will not find this platform due to the censorship. What they will find are "fake news" articles that falsely claim to have debunked this. You will see a DMCA notice at the bottom of the page (make sure to scroll down to see and click on it), and v/pizzagate is literally one of the listed sites that is being blocked. [To find this, just do a search on the results in the complaint for voat since it is a long list.]

Since this censorship is a moving target, the results may vary a bit, but there is an absolute effort to block, or at least suppress, voat from showing up in results on google, in youtube searches/views, on twitter (where I and many others have been shadowbanned, blocked, or had accounts closed). This is an ongoing issue, so we need to find ways to get people to our site without using the term "pizzagate," which results in reduced exposure to those who do not know about the truth revealed on voat.

Edit: @LostandFound created an archive that shows the results we were getting this morning on a google search of pizzagate: http://archive.is/PFdyg (proves that voat was literally scrubbed from the results). https://voat.co/v/pizzagate is specifically listed in the banned results page off of that link - https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/13959495.

Yes. But here is an archived result on a google search of pizzagate from this morning that shows the real censorship problem: http://archive.is/PFdyg (notice how VOAT is not listed).

its because dookiehowzer is using google.com /USA and you are using google.ie /Ireland

For some reason v/pizzagate is showing up in the US Google search but not in other countries.

Here are other google top level domains of other countries;

v/pizzagate what not showing on a US google search of pizzagate this morning when I first made my post: http://archive.is/PFdyg. Google is very actively trying to censor as we have also seen on Twitter, FB, and YT.
