According to a TorrentFreak publication, Google removes from the search results all the links that lead to the popular Kickass torrent site.
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 site is not included in the first five Google results pages 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 theme that concerns us is something else. Of course, banning a site from the company's search results is a key problem, but transparency is even more key.
How can you be sure that Google does not filter other results when using the company's search engine?
How can you be sure the company isn't filtering websites it doesn't want you to see for whatever reason? How can you be sure you are getting the better 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.
