The right wing outrage machine has been triggered. This will be rolled into the QAnon conspiracy canon by EOD.

Churchill was about to leak internal Clinton emails of the pizzaria-sex trafficking ring.

"Erasing history" is the new "war on Christmas" Boogeyman. The same people who used to think Starbucks putting "Happy Holidays" on coffee cups was a manifestation of a nefarious plot by the executives to dismantle Christianity now believe that removing statues glorifying the Confederacy and racists indicates some plot by intellectuals to remove them from history books and search engines.

Please don't use HN for ideological flamewar. It is tedious and it destroys what this site is supposed to be for.

To my mind, I was simply explaining the reason why all the comments in the linked article and the top comment in this thread assumed that Google intentionally removed Churchill's picture despite how ludicrous that belief seems. That explanation necessarily involves mentioning the conspiracy theorists who are inclined to believe certain wacky things based on perceived attacks against their political beliefs.
Thank you for the clarification.
Reports are coming from Serbia, Australia, South Africa and I can confirm Netherlands as well.
Don't over react, don't spread misinformation.
