Not only censorship but also results manipulation. >Prioritize websites that obtain certification as a licensed site under a recognised scheme

It's like pressuring map makers to exclude "bad areas" of town where knockoffs are sold, but also only listing the shops that a certain cartel, I mean group, want listed.

Agreed Removing links to exclusively pirated content is something I can accept, removing an entire website because it contains piracy I can't. Even worse is the result manipulation, that is ridiculous, whoever pays more gets better rank?
