SS removed from search results in Germany

[Kera]

Hello, I had no problem finding this website in Germany. I wasn't even specifically looking for it. I just stumbled upon this site by accident through a thread.

I hate to be that person but does Germany's government have the right to morally grandstand about ANYTHING after causing WWII?

That's exactly how I found this site. I searched Google for information for a specific method and found a thread from this forum about it.

Make sure to check dates of threads.
This was a problem in 2020.

I'm not the only one. The thread is previewed under News and Announcements. So I assumed that the problem is current again. I joined my previous speaker softgirlluna and the others. Perhaps it is advisable to close this thread so that no more replies are possible!?

They automatically get pushed to the top if someone comments on a thread. It’s still here for information not because it is a current topic. My point still stands.

I don't see it as doggedly as the other 25 users ;) Thanks for the tip anyway! I will consider it in future.

No clue what you’re referring to and neither do I care, really. You are welcome.

Google brought out a new filter called "Your Money or Your Life" YMYL that targets pages/sites that could impact " the future happiness, health, financial stability, or safety of users ".

They basically remove anything giving financial, health, wellbeing etc advice if the site cannot be verified as giving professional advice because the owner is an appropriately qualified expert, or if they deem it harmful.

It's very ambiguous language - basically some person in silicon valley or wherever decides this site is right or wrong based on their own subjective thought processes (and they are probably not a qualified expert in these topics and are deciding based on their own morality), they then remove the site / pages, and there is no defined process to appeal.

It's censorship as is found on YT, twitter, Fb, etc on the web.

Really, since they own the search engine they can do what they like. I don't think they are specifically coming after SS, we've just fallen into the orbit of their new ideology.

Good find, it is just straight up orwellian censorship.
There is the word "money"in the acronym, that is what this is all about, paid results.
Some of the "rules"

• News about important topics and current events, especially in business, politics, science and technology.
• Information about civics, government and the law, such as content about voting or social services.
• Financial advice and information about taxes, savings, investments, etc.
• Shopping pages, whether for products or services.
• Health and safety content including medical information and anything to do with drugs, emergency preparedness, hospitals and more.
• Pages about groups of people, specifically claims or information about religion, sexuality, race or other shared traits/demographics.

Google notes that the list in its guidelines is not comprehensive. Any webpage with information, advice, or claims "related to big decisions or important aspects of people's lives" can be considered YMYL.
