damn, guess google's censorship is getting out of hand. what other words are they gonna ban next? https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/22/you-can-no-longer-google-the-word-disregard/

seriously though, how do you not see the irony in ranting about google's censorship on a blog hosted by a google cloud server?

are we really surprised? didn't they already start down this road with fact-checking bs a while back

guess they're trying to "disregard" the truth. gg google, you played yourself.

I don't think it's censorship when you're trying to keep your search results relevant and safe.

google can do whatever they want, it's their platform. if you don't like it, go use a different search engine. stop whining and adapt.

no, how will we disregard the news now?

yeah, that's some seriously overreaching censorship. next thing you know.

are you gonna be upset when you can't google the word '_transitioning' too or just the words that affect your shoot first, play heroics

totally agree, this is wild. and what's even more concerning is how many people aren't even noticing/caring about this kind of stuff

fr, google's been trippin lately. they'll probably ban 'disagree' next so we can't even call them

this is insane. apparently "disregard" was too edgy for google now.

Google isn't banning the word "disregard". It just flagged a hate group that used it in their name. Close the gap in understanding before complaining about censorship.

guess i'll have to use bing from now on. at least they don't censor the good stuff, like porn.

When exactly did google start caring about people's right to free speech online if they're only getting "censored" on their own platform?

are you kidding me? google can and should ban whatever words they want, no one is forcing you to use their search engine.

idk what's more concerning, the censorship itself or how little people seem to be talking about it

yeah no shit, it's getting ridiculous. first they're gonna "protect" us from certain words. Next they'll be controlling what we can and can't say period.

are you kidding me? it's not censorship, it's literally just google removing a word from autocomplete because it's a low frequency search

idk what's more disturbing, the fact that you're being this obtuse or that techcrunch is still

Haha, well if they start banning "disregard", looks like I'll have to find a new way to ignore my responsibilities. Maybe they'll let us use "yeet" instead?

yeah, this is going too far. you gotta be able to use everyday words without Big Tech censoring them. where does it end?

are we really trusting a news source from 2026 rn?

uh, you think "disregard" is too extreme? what about the n-word? or god forbid, the f-word?

damn, good. i'm tired of all the misinformation and hate that gets spread online.

dude, can you name one instance where "disregard" is actually used as a, like, harassing phrase or whatever?

lol what's next, are they gonna make us search for "rezzipect" instead

are you kidding me? not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes they just ban hate speech

that's a search term. Not a mainstream topic. this isn't a slippery slope into a surveillance state.

idk, maybe they'll just make us use actual research skills next and block the keywords "reddit" and "wikipedia

Theyre just getting started, when they start censoring words we use to describe everyday conversations I'm sure they'll be coming for phrases like "I don't care" and "whatever" next.

Totally agree, it's getting ridiculous. And btw, hasn't anyone noticed this is just a portmanteau of 'dis' and 'regard'... like, what's next, censoring 'dissatisfied'?

are you kidding me? disregard is a complicated word that can be used in some pretty problematic

yeah, this is getting ridiculous, and what's even more concerning is that this is coming from a company that claims to champion free speech. start using alternative search engines, people

bruh, you really think google is censoring words? maybe they're just trying to keep the platform clean.

ugh, seriously? that's messed up. wonder what the actual reason is behind it - like, is there an actual good explanation or is it just

yeah, because 'disregard' was just the most innocuous word ever, not at all something used to justify online bullying

complete supression. what's next? trying to quiet the ones who actually care about telling the truth

lol looks like we're gonna have to disregard google's rules

wait, google can still still find disrespect though

guess disregard was always the word that got me deleted from google hangouts

you're only worried about google censoring a word now? what about all the people who've lost their livelihoods because of deepmind's ai bias models or microsoft's unethical usage of .onnx files?

are people actually surprised by this at this point

the fuck are you on about? google can do whatever they want on their own platform, cry me a river

dude, are you actually still using google? "disregard" is literally a book title

i'm surprised they didn't ban the word google itself yet

Preach. And it's not just Google, most social media platforms are doing the same thing. What's next, banning the word 'wrong' because it might offend someone?

wow, what a dumb take. google can do whatever they want on their own platform. cry harder about it, snowflake.

Guess we need to start using better search engines if Google is gonna keep banning words. What's the point of a search engine that doesn't let you search for stuff?

i'm so over this. i swear, it's like they're trying to control our thoughts.

the last time i saw a word that needed google's discretion was ' Urgent: immediate disregard for

google can do whatever tf they want. if you don't like it, make your own search engine. quit whining about it online.

yeah, this is freaking ridiculous. next they'll probably ban the word "inconvenient". what a load of crap.

dude, are you serious, google's censoring disregard?

dude, it's not censorship, it's just a fun word with alternative ways to search for it, calm down

google's doing the right thing and their platform. Their rules. don't like it? go use bing or something.

idc about this "censorship" drama. disregard isn't a word people search 1000 times a day.

come on, that's not censorship, it's a frickin trademark dispute. don't spin this into something it's not.

no one's actually talking about google censoring because they banned "disregard".

tf is google banning the word disregard for? how the hell am i supposed to express my disdain for

damn, i guess they're gonna ban the word "capitalism" next. 🤷‍♀️

you can't say "disregard" but "don't give a f*ck" is still fair game?

Actually, that article says Google is autocorrecting the spelling of "disregard" to prevent "dis regard" from being searched, not banning the word. That's not censorship. That's just helping people find what they're looking for

are you actually reading the article or just complaining for the sake of it

that's bs. google can do what they want, it's their platform. don't like it? go use bing.

what are you on about and you actually believe that? think critically for once instead of just spreading bullshit.

started using duckduckgo a year ago, and now i'm not sure which algorithm to disregard

guess i'll have to duckduckgo my disregard from now on

guess we'll just have to disregard the news then

damn, that's wild. do you think they're just trying to control the narrative or is there more to it?

same, feels like every time we get close to exposing something they just erase it from existence or give us some vagu ass "it's been

no, it's just microsoft's answer to their new messaging app, "may i disregard

you realize the article is from 2026, right? do you really think google's gonna ban that word in 4

lmao dude, what words do you think they're gonna ban next, "competent" and "reasonable"?

idk if you actually read the article but they're just changing the way they handle a specific search query to reduce hate speech not

same. and let's be real, it's not like they're just gonna stop at words, they're already censoring

yeah no joke. and i'm still waiting for someone to explain how this is supposed to help with 'misinformation' when literally every other search

but what exactly did the word 'disregard' have to do with paypal phishing scams or whatever landfill info google tries

weren't you the same guy raging about online free speech last year when google deindexed that awful conspiracy site?

how long before they start policing our thoughts? this is some orwellian bs if you ask me.

are we really acting like we didn't see this coming?

yeah, this is getting ridiculous. can't even use basic words anymore without getting flagged. it's like they're trying to control what we can even say.

censorship is in the eye of the beholder. if you're genuinely "disregarding" people's rights and experiences, you'd think google wouldn't want to steer clear of 'sensitive' language.

what's with all the drama? this isn't like google banned disregard or anything.

totally agree w/ you, it's absurd. but they've been slowly erasing search results for years, we should be worried about what's being captured in their keyword blacklists

osm, first it's disregard, next it'll be 'fuck' and then before you know it, we won't be able to

lol what's next, "bank run" gets flagged as hate speech?

Come on, it's just a neutral search result removal, not censorship. Try again with actual facts and less drama.

i'm still allowed to google "google's trying to stop me from googling this" so far, so good

lol are you kidding me? disregard isn't being "banned" because it's a hate term, it's because it's

google didn't ban the word disregard. the result is filtered because there's actual harm being caused by a group that's commonly associated with it.

did you actually read the article or just the headline?

did you even read the article or just gonna rant?

idk what you're crying about, it's not like they banned the word from the internet, just from

please don't pretend like the issue is google's censorship. the fact is, you can still type in the word in quotes, in

come on, dude, disregarding boundaries and rules is literally the opposite of what the article is about. not sure what you're getting at with this post.

bruh, that article is BS. google ain't censoring anything - they're just trying to keep their

i guess thats a disregard for our rights or something

google isn't censoring itself, its algorithm is just figuring out how to avoid serving up malicious crap.

idk what you're on about, dude. that article literally says google wasn't censoring anything, it was just a weird glitch. chill.

finally, some truth slipping out. now can we please talk about why they're censoring words at all? feels like a slippery slope to totalitarianism to me
