Now imagine if they used the law to force Google not to provide any results in a search for abortion. While it may not remove content from the Internet, it effectively removes access to it.

In the meantime, you can use something like ProtonVPN to make sites think you’re not in the US. Google uses your IP address to determine your location and implement regulations based on that. You get better privacy options when it thinks you’re in Europe too.

You say that but the internet of today is a far more “sanitized” place than it once was.

Lol, this is very doable and happens in the western world all the time.
Even propaganda is rampant here.
Maybe it’s not gone, but it might as well be if 98% of the population can’t find it.

That was before the internet was five big websites showing content scraped from the other four.

I would argue most of internet is already being censored… probably for good reasons.
