Just noticed that Gelbooru gets censored on Google if you are browsing from a german location.
Searching for any gelbooru related stuff will only show third-party information about the site and the notice that results got omitted because of legal reasons.
Further inspection on lumendatabase gives the following notice:

"German regulatory body reported illegal material

A URL that otherwise would have appeared in response to your search,
was not displayed because that URL was reported as illegal by a German
regulatory body."

www.lumendatabase.org/notices/9415

When browsing through a proxy and searching for the same things on google, it will properly include all results that link directly to gelbooru.

Little surprise that nazi germany hates free speech tbh.

I see old habits never die with the eternal kraut. Just one less reason to consider it for any sort of studies.

The salt is strong in this thread.

can't believe people are mad about government censorship wow

In Germany some things are shadowbanned (unsearchable), yet still accessible, if you know the url. Been following a shadowbanned American youtuber for a few years now. And Gelbooru hasn't been searchable on German google, for as long, as I can remember. So nothing new here. I wouldn't worry about that notice. It's been there for ages.

If you use a different search engine ( like duckduckgo.com ) it will bring up search results including the actual gelbooru site.

Lol, this website ( www.onlinesprache.de/gelbooru/ ) claims gelbooru only allows 2 tag searches a day for free and if you want more, you have to pay. Nice BS...

That's interesting. I know about filtered urls that got copyright DMCA claimed and I also knew that certain german warez boards are unsearchable on german google, but I didn't know they also removed links to hentai pages. Maybe it has something to do with the loli/shota content, as every time I google for terms like "loli", german google gives me warnings and links to info pages about child abuse on the internet :<
When I change the language or use a proxy, everything works normally.

Makes me mad that they censor drawn art like that, especially since non-real images of children in sexual situations are actually legal in germany, as long as you keep them to yourself and don't spread them around.


Lmao xDD It also says that gelbooru has a doujin section, where users can share their own drawn comics. That's some quality research there xD
I like how they also linked a 30 minute long gelbooru video tutorial which directly disproves parts of what is written in the description.


Has more something to do with that religious catholic driven parties have the majority of votes in germany. Those parties are mostly getting votes by old people and are run by people, who don't know shit about the internet. The recent approved upload filter law (most notably article 13) for europe was also made and pushed by them although when asked, they had no idea how that law should even be put into practice. Thousands of people sent them letters of protest - They just got called bots. Hundreds of thousands of young people in all europe went on protest marches - The officials of those parties just said they all got paid by google/youtube. At one point they even tried to bring the date of decision forward, so that they can avoid the protests altogether.
The current german politic goes against what most people want in several different instances - It is just sad and frustrating.

And back to topic: It just pains me to see how much our internet gets ruined because of old-fashioned ways of thinking, religious influence and personal moral justice.

Looks like they are confusing gelbooru with danbooru.
Which begs an amusing problem that danbooru, which hides loli and such by default, could accidentally find itself banned in an entire country due to the content on Gelbooru.
Just a wee bit scary.

I've occasionally received forwarded emails from Albert because people confused Danbooru and Gelbooru. Not sure why. Who knows? Regardless if content is hidden or not, they'd still be banned in Germany, if their crawlers weren't so stupid.

You're obviously just unreasonably salty ;^)
