They've been censoring 'gnostic' already for a long time.

I've been off google for over 4 years but back then you searched for 'Gnostic' and all you got for the first 2-3 pages were fundamental christian pages saying 'Gnostics' are heretics and worse than 'unbelievers'.

Sand begets sand, meanwhile the truth is kept underground.

1st time I'm hearing that, but in recent days I've been hearing a lot of stuff about google, I think their "don't be evil" motto really is a thing of the past.

Somehow we managed to let a single organization control the access to information of the vast majority of mankind, that might not end well.

They ditched that a coupe of years ago (for real) IIRC 2016 but might be wrong [Whoops 2015! https://www.washingtonpost.com/gdpr-consent/?destination=%2fnews%2fmorning-mix%2fwp%2f2015%2f10%2f05%2falphabet-now-googles-overlord-ditches-dont-be-evil-in-favor-of-do-the-right-thing%2f%3f]

I just did a search for that and got nothing of the kind. What exactly is being censored? I'm not trying to fight or disprove you, I'm honestly trying to understand.

I can see Theopedia calling Gnosticism Heresy but many many others just giving definitions and examples seemingly without bias. Because that happens to come up in a google search, I dont think that means that there is censoring going on - because I'm getting much more information that isn't that.

Do you think it might be a Regional thing? I wonder if I would get different results by changing countries with a VPN? I'm curious to try now.

I heard they were also censoring Piracy and file sharing sites but I haven't had a problem there either.

Maybe it helps that I have installed some privacy and ad blocking apps to Chrome? What I can say is that I am now much more informed, it seems, than I was about the Gnostic faith than I was twenty minutes ago.

I just did a search

It was back in the day, but I could find some similar results with 'christian gnostic': https://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-gnosticism.html A lot of this stuff from American-church forums showed up back then only on the term gnostic.

I can believe that maybe Gnosticism was related a lot to Christianity by the 2011 google.

The rest you post are all possible valid points, but there are 'blacklisted' (mostly real spammy/infested sites, so 'humanly censored') sites.

Maybe it helps that I have installed some privacy and ad blocking apps to Chrome?

Privacy on Chrome? not even Chromium!? Ehhh, you might want to reflect on that.

What I can say is that I am now much more informed, it seems, than I was about the Gnostic faith than I was twenty minutes ago.

I present you the quickest, and funniest, run down on the basic concepts used in the pleroma of the 'faiths/paths/perceptions/philosophies' encompassed by the term Gnosticism and why the Church doesn't like it: https://images2.imgbox.com/cb/42/D3dVgOhd_o.png

This is why duckduckgo is the better search engine.

It sucks, I found the results of google became lesser and lesser.
