They do censor these words right?

The title is correct but we can't always include all nuances. We hope most of our readers will take the time to at least read three sentences :)

I considered " Google Now Censors The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, 4Shared and More From Their Autocomplete and Instant Services Until A User Types In The Complete Term" but that seemed a bit too much.

But yeah, I'm very ashamed.

Suggested title:

"Google no longer autocompletes The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, 4Shared and More".

Or.

"Google no longer suggests The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, 4Shared and More in search bar".

"Title generates fewer outraged upvotes and pageviews".
How about "Google stops catering to lazy incompetents"?
Not all editorial action is "censorship", the sites in question are still indexed. And I think you are aware why they are doing it considering the pressure on them from politicians and harmful laws introduced all the time. The title is link-bait.
