Wait, let me see if I understand this:

A private company provides a free service that allows users to search the internet for whatever they want. That company manipulates the searches to favor their customers (who aren’t the users, BTW), and suddenly it’s a bad thing that they block access through their service to illegal activities that feature the harming of innocent children for the sexual gratification of pedophiles.

Manipulating the search results to favor their customers - THAT’S okay.

Blocking access to images and videos of children being raped - that’s bad?

Have I got that right?

Also, it’s censorship for this private company to remove links to the content but taking it offline is totes ok (which yes, it should be, this part isn’t hard).
