Clarification about Google censoring pizzagate searches (pizzagate)

submitted ago by throwaway89209834

I keep seeing people say that Google is censoring all voat.co/v/pizzagate searches when in reality they are censoring the SINGLE link that was in the DCMA take down list or URLs, which is for https://voat.co/v/pizzagate and that is the link that is being hidden. It is not censoring other links from voat for pizzagate.

My bot is working just fine for finding new and old posts and when I searched pizzagate just now, voat is the third result - http://i.imgur.com/gWpE5vc.png

At the bottom you see it censored 1 result

That result is the https://voat.co/v/pizzagate link

I just want to make sure that disinfo isn't being spread based on a misunderstanding and please question those trying to enact large changes based on this misunderstanding, like moving to change the general name of the investigation to #SaveTheKids or whatever. It is IMO not needed and counter-intuitive at this point in the investigation.

sticking with #pedogate is a good idea now though. Make the change.

I tried to correct you here - https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1697230/8312795 - if that is all you have to say then I have to question your motives here.

for the second time, I am not arguing with you. I question your motives if you think using #pedogate is THAT bad of an idea. That is an idea that is floating widely with nothing to do with the censoring discussion

This submission has one sentence about my opinion of not re-branding and you come in here after our comment exchange about your google search disinformation thread and all you have to say is that "rebranding is a good idea".

I'm done commenting with you.

I just saw a brand new member making a comment in the Comey/Wiretap thread going on. He said, "This is my first post here guys so go easy on me."

It's like people have watched us here and are afraid we're going to drop a bomb on their heads :)

I've put out enough fires today, another one was some people beating up on someone who mixed up the two words bazaar and bizarre :) To be fair, there are some very nice people here too. Ok I'll be quiet now.

lol this is definitely a war zone if not quite a concentration camp.

Took me a while to figure that out! Now I look back at some of my comments and posts and am glad I wasn't destroyed ... but I said I'd shut up now :)
