What they let a pop star say is not censorship, what happened on this day in history is.I did a Google search for "google scrubbing old news articles" and nothing came up. You see Pippy, this is why we ask that you provide evidence.
Even if this were true, I hardly see how this is censorship. Google is a private company, they don't have to make everything searchable. I suspect they remove old news articles because only the more recent news articles are relevant. The news articles are still found on the news sites that they originally came from, and if not, it's hardly Google's fault, seeing as Google doesn't store these sites; it merely scrapes them.
