While they may be pedants, I am anally right. On a personal level I think those who chime in to cry that it's not censorship are myopic fools.

It is absolutely censorship. It's textbook, dictionary, censorship. Take wikipedia's great opening paragraph:

>Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies.

In my opinion it's especially egreoious, requiring remedy, if the censorious actor has a large amount of control over a medium of communication. In this case google dwarfs perhaps governments.
