    Annas Archive is better using their own in site search function anyway. I’m okay with this if it reduces AA legal exposure and just remains sort of an “open” secret

    Am I wrong in thinking it’s better that it doesn’t show up in google result? Of course it sucks that it is deliberately hidden, but I feel like it will help the site staying under the radar from unwanted attention. People who put a slight effort to find it will still be able to find it.

      same reason i wonder why some anime/movie websites i use urge their users to share stuff about it to others. Just keep your head down damn it, so I dont have to constantly search for new decent websites.

    What’s really weird is that the byline(?) says this article was published “today”, when I saw this exact same headline more than a week ago.

    The problem being…? Lots of alternative search engines out there and if you already know Anna’s archive, just use that to search for stuff.

        A private company deciding what to show (and what no to) is not censorship, mate.

          The majority of censorship is self-censorship

      don’t most alternative search engines just use google or bing as a source?

        Just use Yandex if you want to search for somewhat shady stuff.

          Some may call it shady. I call it Linux ISOs. Damn capitalism.
