If anyone is looking for a supporting claim to back up censorship a good example I've found is suggesting people look up World Council for Health via google and seeing how many attempts there are to steer a first time searcher away from the results. What I think is clever is once you have navigated through the roadblocks to discourage you it is no longer an issue.
But I was very surprised the first time I searched it to have the autofill push wikipedia to the top of results, to have the WHO appear at the top of the list of results, and a misleading Global Health Council alternative appear.
I was simply trying to search the site like I would any other, using autofill suggestions if they seemed to line up and I felt like I encountered several roadblocks and checkpoints that would let me move on to the next step or ty to redirect me. But only on the first try, afterwards it was fine.
The wikipedia article is also incredible. Like any credible encyclopedia would open with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Council_for_Health "The World Council for Health is a pseudo-medical organisation dedicated to spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and promoting fake COVID-19 treatments."
Meanwhile the resources on the website seem to be focused on getting outside, limiting time on devices, eating well balanced diets, exercise, etc. Very basic and calm articles.
I'm sure there are many examples floating around, but I think it's a good example of something that can be taken for granted. Which is that links/results are being provided in line with what you were actually searching.
