Hi guys! I want to share with you this very thought provoking article on Coronavirus, Control, Censorship, and many topics more written by Charles Eisenstein. I think it's very important to share this kind of work in times where big corporations are pushing the censorship on their big platforms on behalf on the pandemics, governments limiting the civic rights, and there's a lot of information pollution out there.

Hope the enjoyed it as much as I did reading it. Keep the eyes sharp.

Have a nice day! Greetings from Chile


I think there's a simple google way. Just add `-bigwebsite.com` to your query.

[search term] -google -youtube -facebook ... -top100website and it should work.

I found a list of the top 1m alexa websites here:

An add-on with that list should do the work.


That's pretty clunky.

- there's probably a pretty low limit for size of Google queries, you'll likely hit it quickly

- you won't be able to search for e.g a story about YouTube censoring some content


I don't know about the current query size limit but I think it's pretty likely to get hit quickly as you correctly pointed out. But, it's useful to use the wildcard "-site" ex: "-site:bigwebsite.com" for excluding just the site, and not the very word being mentioned.

ex:

facebook censorship -site:facebook.com

https://www.google.com/search?q=facebook+censorship+-site%3A...


Filtered out regional sites that Google wouldn't cater my search for (eg Taobao, Baidu, etc).. Only possible with 31 negative sites.

-site:google.com -site:youtube.com -site:facebook.com -site:jd.com -site:yahoo.com -site:wikipedia.org -site:amazon.com -site:netflix.com -site:reddit.com -site:live.com -site:zoom.us -site:okezone.com -site:alipay.com -site:instagram.com -site:twitch.tv -site:csdn.net -site:blogspot.com -site:microsoft.com -site:bing.com -site:github.com -site:tribunnews.com -site:myshopify.com -site:office.com -site:panda.tv -site:stackoverflow.com -site:ebay.com -site:bongacams.com -site:livejasmin.com -site:babytree.com -site:naver.com -site:apple.com <search query>


your query would obviously be too long for Google


yeah, that's sad. Google limits its queries to just 32 words.
