Google starts censoring Torrent searches

We all saw this coming, once you start down the road of restricting the internet it will never stop. I don't see this as the result this seems to be the beginning. We have all seen how easy it was for Egypt to shut of the internet inside their borders.

Google on Thursday began censoring search tools to prevent piracy, as first announced in a policy shift last December.

The change affects Google's Autocomplete and Instant tools—the services that predict your results before you finish typing—not its search results. Basically many terms with the word "torrent" in them have been filtered out of Autocomplete, along with other terms related to downloading services. Examples include BitTorrent, torrent, utorrent, RapidShare, and Megaupload, according to numerous reports on Thursday morning.

Sometimes it seems we should just be thankfull that 1984 took this long to get here.
