that sounds a lot like conspiracy talk to me like when people talk about how the united states government scrubs articles about free energy, moon landing conspiracies, and lizard people from the internet so that the citizens don't know the truth.

putting aside GDPR and the right to be forgotten that is law in most of europe how does one scrub controversial things from the internet when we can find things like Mormon secret religious ceremonies are on youtube.
