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
Que Viva Elbakyan! It works pretty well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=sci-hub&ia=web
Duck duck go is still partially backed by Google right? It’s a “meta” search engine?
I thought it used Bing?
Oh, wow, nobody now could ever guess what the URL is.
Maybe it will drive more people to alternative search engines.
I’m genuinely contemplating paying for kagi at this point. Only one I haven’t heard people (fairly) talking shit about recently.
If we remove Yandex then Google has to go too.

Honestly, I would prefer to build my own search engines if possible.
It’s possible. Search engines are just big reference databases.
They have crawlers that search the web based on links to each other and then save metadata about the pages.There are some projects already that you can use.
The problem is the data, if everyone of us have to build it ourselves it’s going to be tedious, and more importantly biased to however you are scraping.

I’ve paid for kagi for a few years, I would definitely recommend it!
