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.

Same with utube, unless I type the name of an actual channel, for example 'Titus Frost latest' I get the latest from that blogger, but if I type in pizzagate I only get results from 3 months ago, and interestingly from Alex Jones, and Steven Colbert and others debunking it.

Yes. We need to really create an updated thread that exposes the various methods to censor in one place. It can be very subtle but very effective as someone who does NOT know about voat/pizzagate truth would not even know what they were missing...being exposed only to the "false debunking" would cause them to simply dismiss and not look further as there literally is "nothing more to see" due to the censoring techniques.
