Is this for no-account users, or for everyone, including paid users?

In the past, I thought that search engines censored content because of the advertiser's demands, but now that AI search switched to the paid model I think the censorship is purely ideological because these companies are based in San Francisco.

So if you picked up the building and put it elsewhere it'd produce the same product but different politics?

The censorship is about not getting sued or regulated

I think search engines block content because it is what users want.

In the early internet, you'd almost always end up with a few pictures of naked girls in the search results, and many pages showed ads for porn sites.

That's just not a good experience if you are at work and trying to get stuff done.

Search engines have gotten much better, and in most cases explicit results are now only shown when you actively look for them.
