Google, known for its liberal views and policies, is blocking an eBay link that leads to the purchase of a T-shirt with the Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask. The search engine has not commented on the incident, which is unusual for it. The incredible censorship was first reported by the Anonymous account @AnonOpsLegion on Twitter.
Even if you ignore Google's warning and skip the page, you will come across the following message.
Unfortunately, access to this particular item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in some countries. We are blocking your viewing in an effort to prevent restricted items from being displayed. Regrettably, in some cases, we may prevent users from accessing items that are not within the scope of said restrictions due to limitations of existing technology. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, and we hope you may find other items of interest on eBay.
It's incredible how much governments are afraid of the Anonymous movement! With legal frameworks and allies, large internet companies like Google are trying to subjugate a movement by censoring its symbol.
Without taking anyone's side, we are committed to the abolition of all censorship, wherever it comes from.
