The ongoing issue with the bogus DMCA notice, which blocks v/pizzagate from the results in general due to a false copyright claim, was first documented here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1690808
A recommended strategy to avoid censorship when reaching out to the public is shown here: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1691547
Now the latest: If you do a google search of pizzagate, there is only ONE result for VOAT on the front page that seems promising (linking to the top of Voat). However, it is very insidious as the detailed quote literally debunks our efforts with these comments - "pizzagate is just a ridiculously dumb conspiracy theory" as shown below:
/v/pizzagate - Voat
https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/new
2. There won't ever be any pizzagate arrests, because pizzagate is just a ridiculously dumb conspiracy theory. NANANANANA (s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com).
Here is the link of a screen capture of the results of a search on pizzagate showing this (2nd result listed is for voat, with the negative insinuation shown underneath the link): https://postimg.org/image/ghckipfnz/
We should all note that the comments in the result shown above do not actually show on the "new" page and are more evidence of direct manipulation of results by google to limit exposure of pizzagate by voat to the general public. Normally, google's search algorithm would place multiple results for v/pizzagate on page one, given voat's focus on pizzagate as a topic, with constant new information and heavy links pointing internally and externally, and with "pizzagate" in our actual domain name. We should dominate a search on this term but instead get one lousy result on page one that tries to discredit our efforts.
This is some great evidence of the reality that pizzagate is real and is being actively suppressed, something that I have found to be eye-opening to those who find the truth hard to swallow, especially the idea that such a big scandal could be hidden from public view.

Actually, I am seeing the same results as you now, but this was my result an hour ago: https://postimg.org/image/ghckipfnz/. They keep changing. The big point is that they are being manipulated. Our subverse should have several listings on page one based on the search algorithm. Wikipedia should never be top of page as it does not get nearly the activity, two-way linking, and traffic as this platform. The DMCA notice at the bottom (which shows that pizzagate is still being directly censored for a bogus copyright infringement of anime of all things) is just more evidence of the censorship. I wanted to document more evidence of the censorship and reinforce the strategy to use other methods to try to get people to this platform(#pedogate + point here https://voat.co/v/humanrights/1490856 to avoid the use of the censored pizzagate word to generate broader awareness to those who do not know about pizzagate or voat).

I was getting the same result as you, exact, I'm in southern USA. Just FYI. This was three hours ago. Just checked and now it's gone. That pig guy spammer threw out four or five posts at same time (about three hours ago), hard to believe Google would have (by bot) crawled and ranked it that fast but I guess it's possible, (They only crawl once a month if that much.) I used to have some page one articles and they were no. one across the USA according to my page views and also according to Google Analytics.

Yep. It is being manipulated. A platform with the name pizzagate in it, with our heavy activity and links, and we have a single post on page 1, not in top position. Right...it's a natural result...not!

Mr. Pig guy got ranked number one, pretty quickly (and then was removed just as quickly), and for a big popularly trending subject (pizzagate).
