Yeah there's a lot of "anti censorship" warriors in this thread, who seem confused about what search engines are for

You say that as if being "anti censorship" is a weird, or bad thing. What reasonable person would agree that being "pro censorship" is an ideal stance?

Anti-spam utilities exist to filter out (aka "censor") spam. Disinformation is spam. I'm pro filtering spam and perhaps even a reasonable person. There you have it.
> Disinformation is spam.

I believe, at a fundamental level, this statement is far too ambiguous to be considered a reasonable conclusion.

A search engine is for finding information.

Misinformation is a kind of information.
