Anecdotally the same for other sites like KiwiFarms. I may not agree with all content posted on such sites, nor spend my day there, but I certainly don't believe in censoring unpopular opinions. There were also screenshots of Google censorship posted during the 2016 election that were concerning and I verified a subset of these myself.

Regardless of one's political and social viewpoints, we should stand united against censorship.

KiwiFarms is excluded for all the doxing and stalking material, not for "unpopular opinions".

KiwiFarms isn't the only example. And would you provide a source for your assertion?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

> Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is an American Internet forum dedicated to the discussion of online figures and communities it deems "lolcows" (people who can be "milked for laughs"). The targets of threads are often subject to doxing and other forms of organized group trolling, harassment, and stalking, including real-life harassment by users.[2][3] Harassment stemming from Kiwi Farms has been implicated in the suicides of three people targeted by users of the site.[9]

Putting a reply here because HN won't let me reply to the other leaf comment. 1) Implicated by whom? 2) That KiwiFarms doxes, or that the doxing bothers people, wasn't my question. My question is where is it stated (convincingly) that doxing is the reason Google filters the results?
