There is a story out today that says Google is censoring BitTorrent (and others) from its instant and auto-complete services. I personally can't verify this because nothing seems to be blocked on any of the computers here. Is it censored for you guys?
Without a public notice Google has compiled a seemingly arbitrary list of keywords for which auto-complete is no longer available. Although the impact of this decision does not currently affect full search results, it does send out a strong signal that Google is willing to censor its services proactively, and to an extent that is far greater than many expected.
