Free Republic used to come up frequently on google searches of political topics. No more. Unless you add the memory hole name “site:freerepublic.com” no hits will ever be delivered. Obviously they are watching but ignoring. We’re too American.
This is overall correct and is part of the trend. Thus I created a custom search engine https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=011383487679067898861:gug5bh6z5ol for conservative news. I have made another custom search for apologetical issues: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=011383487679067898861:d5mux31ku3h Both of which Google still enables, explained here, https://support.google.com/programmable-search/answer/4544182 though there is with no guarantee for the future, but thank God for the option.
