Google Removes Sci-Hub Domains from U.S. Search Results Due to Dated Court Order * TorrentFreak

Google has removed dozens of Sci-Hub domain names from its search results in the U.S., marking the country's first pirate domain removals.

Google has removed dozens of new Sci-Hub domain names from its search results in the United States. Unlike typical DMCA takedowns, the removals were triggered by a dated court order that was not enforced for several years. This appears to be one of the first times Google has deindexed an entire pirate site in the U.S. based on a ‘site blocking’ style injunction.

    Good thing Google has removed links to this site I had never previously heard of, now I’ll definitely not end up on this Sci Hub by accident

      It’s a good thing Google posts the DMCA order so I can see what the URL is so I can never visit it by accident
