Google has quietly escalated censorship of its market-dominating search engine, adding a range of new topics where human moderators are allowed to manually penalize websites, suppressing them in search results.
If a website is affected by one of these manual acts of censorship, “some or all of that site will not be shown in Google search results,” according to the tech giant.
The list, published in full on Google’s support website, includes the following:
- Discover policy violation: Adult-themed content
- News and Discover policy violation: Dangerous content
- News and Discover policy violation: Harassing content
- News and Discover policy violation: Hateful content
- News and Discover policy violation: Manipulated media
- News and Discover policy violation: Medical content
- Discover policy violation: Misleading content
- News and Discover policy violation: Sexually explicit content
- News and Discover policy violation: Terrorist content
- News policy violation: Transparency
- News and Discover policy violation: Violence and gore content
- News and Discover policy violation: Vulgar language and profanity
