    Not saying you’re wrong but people use words that are useful in conveying to their target audience. Denylisting by the search monopolist is perceived as censorship by many.

    Bombast aside, I think the process and its implications are interesting and people need to be aware.

      Agreed. It makes some solid points, and it seems well-researched in the way of exposing how the search-result hotdogs are made (at least in the 2/3 or so that I read). I just couldn’t stomach the way it was framed as “censorship”.

      I’m very passionate about “words have meanings” and strongly dislike when words typically reserved to describe mountains are inappropriately used (and watered down) to describe mole hills.
