According to a post by TorrentFreak, Google is removing it from the results search all links to the popular Kickass torrent website.
This means that the site cannot be found anywhere if you do a search on its name or its derivatives, from searching machine Google or someone else who uses Google as its source.
The official domain of the kat.cr website is not included in the first five pages of Google results if you search for it.
Instead, the first result is a variation of the page that serves very aggressively advertisements and that no one knows what the files it distributes contain.
Other search engines such as Bing and DuckDuckGo, for example, will return you instant results from the official site.
We will not stop at the reasons that caused Google to block the display of the website. It could be because it discovered malware on a domain, or more likely it accepted one notice DMCA takedown.
The issue we are concerned with is different. Of course, banning a site on searching results of the company, but even more important is transparency.
How can you be sure that Google does not filter other results when using the company's search engine?
How can you be sure that the company does not filter websites that you do not want to see for any reason? How can you be sure you get the best results and not a biased list based on manual interventions, tweaks, or various interests?
It seems that no one can be sure anymore, and there is no way to see if the results are genuine or altered.
This publication does not support other search engines, it just reports the fact of a search test we made in the name of Kickass Torrents.
