Oh, interesting tidbit: I couldn't even find my own 2017 blog post using Google. It was #1 on DuckDuckGo (https://t.co/RYFNlkqWqL)

What's next? Is Google going to start deleting blog posts with which it disagrees?
Never do a news or politics search on Google. Use DuckDuckGo if you want the truth.

Thanks. I try to avoid Google whenever possible. They apparently are a front for the Ministry of Miss-Information. I pray for our Republic.
This shines a bright light on some shady stuff from Google. Thx for the share!
GOOG is the stock symbol for those interested in calls or puts.
I propose a million man armed march against Google for freedom of speech. If they do not allow freedom of speech I recommend the arms be used in defense of our freedoms. We should start with the owners of google.
@8:19: I can't advocate any of that shyte.
A good first step would be to send Google's Indians back to India - including Seattle's Sawant. I certainly don't want their "behavioral experts" subverting our news, searches, or election.
Ive used DUCKDUCKGO for years.......
I remain surprised Google let's your site exist at all.
What else they definitely do is screw with spelling and grammar on old posts. I used to have originals I could compare. A few dead computers later and no evidence remains. So, yea. They let the flying monkey brigade loose to hack and slash... at least on smaller writers.
I'd be interested in seeing if it makes a difference if you got a SSL certificate.
I'd archive and download before your stalker at Google remembers that google owns blogspot
Upvote Duck Duck Go. Also try the Brave browser if you're not familiar with it. I've been using it for about 8 months, has an interesting history, is privacy focused.
Your search on google gives results now. But still don't trust Google.
"Is Google going to start deleting blog posts with which it disagrees?"
It's been happening for years. More than one author that I follow had their whole blogs deleted without warning.
You could move to Wordpress, but they just started doing the same thing.
You could self host, but then the hosting company announces that you need to find a new host because reasons.
I've been using Duck Duck Go for a year or so. Glad I left Google and all their security problems.
It's back in Google's results now. Someone figured out that they got caught. I wonder how many times they don't get caught.
"Google has a great search engine when they're not squelching conservative and GOP (not the same thing) content."
I beg to differ. Their search engine is garbage, even without the bias against Conservatives. Things I know are still online, and could easily find years ago, often no longer appear in the results. Often things I didn't ask for are present, even taking precedence over much more relevant material.
And it isn't just Google. They have all deteriorated to the point of being next to useless.
But, yeah, their anti-Conservative bias is one of the most prominent features in their junk algorithm.
Hey Doug, you really want to give me a shout at my e-mail address. Trust me.
It's easy to confirm what the author claims in this article. Just do a search for any conservative content on Google, then repeat the search on DuckDuckGo, Bing, or any other search engine for that matter. He's anything but an isolated case. Google's censorship is massive and pervasive.
Lookup Ungoogled Chromium as a browser. It's Chrome without Google. You'll thank me.
Interesting. Did a bit of testing and it looks like it might be related to search string length.
As noted, the original search yields no results. But these searches do work

This search fails -

There doesn't appear to be any particular word that fails the search. Basically it goes up to 5 consecutive words in the search then fails at 6. I recommend trying it yourself to verify my results.
That said, this seemed plausible enough to take the time to experiment.
The Chrome browser is a product of Google, and, as such, has as much respect for your privacy as you would expect. That is, none. However it is a fast and efficient chunk of code.
Brave is based on Chrome, with all the spy routines removed. Ads are blocked by default, but if you want to allow them, Brave has a mechanism in place where you get paid to watch them. And it's as fast as Chrome.
Firefox can be configured to be as privacy-sensitive, but Brave is that way by default.
Use Brave to access DDG, annoy Google.
