Why should google link out to a site known to help organize a violent march against democratic processes? Yes Google censors search results, this is nothing new. The only issue you seem to have is that this time instead of it being some ISIS people getting hit its some larping Nazis that performed an actual attack.

Google can choose what is served from their index, end of story. Anyone saying otherwise is tyrannical. If you don't like the results you are getting use something else.

And the people can demand that google be broken up into bite sized pieces to promote competition - as we are currently seeing in the DOJ case against google

And the internet might be a better place with a broken up Google.

Source? That's not AT ALL what happens on sites like these (imageboards). These sites have the same risk of having a few psychopaths as sites like Facebook. Actually there are more on Facebook. And these sites have moderators. Do your own research. Browse for awhile and you'll see how ridiculously the reality is different from what you've been getting from the mass media. That's why these sites are censored. Not because there are criminals plotting schemes on them, but because the discussions there are so against the "official" narrative that there are people scared that more and more will realize just how brutally they have been lied to by governments, wealthy organizations, etc.
