    Google has become the main way people find content online, and if content doesn’t show up in search results then it’s effectively censored. The consequence here is that advertisers decide what content is acceptable. Again, this is very clearly a big problem for society.

      This has nothing to do with search. Just advertising. They’ll remain in search results as long as they don’t take the page down and remain otherwise complaint with search policies.

        Google’s search algorithm is equally opaque and almost certainly driven by advertisers as well. This is a well known problem.
