I'm surprised that someone that would use Anna's Archive, would use Google as their search engine.

    Or use a search engine to access it in general. Anna's Archive itself is a search engine, it's better to just bookmark it and search for stuff directly from there.

    Is it on a stable website, or does it change sometimes? And what's the address?

    This was linked in like the first sentence of the article, and it has an up-to-date list of the current URLs.

    Thanks, it would never occur to me to look for it on Wikipedia.

    It's been communal tradition ever since ThePirateBay got into these "DNS wars" and "Domain switching". In the end, TPB kind of faded out. But same practice goes for many pirate sites. That's the point :) so, be aware it's a great way to find URLs for these o7

    I've seen a lot of very tech savvy people still using google and chrome to this day. It's the top search engine. The majority of people use it, including pirates.

    Well that's a funny coincidence, I've removed Google URLs and services from all my devices and browsers.

    isnt this kind of good thing? The original website is the best for searching stuff from there and by doing this, it takes off some heat from the website

    It's a bad thing because people are less likely to come across it at all.

    We should stop being afraid to fight because we think our oppressors will fight back.

    That's bitch-made, punk-ass behavior.

    Strong community is how we deal with this, not by relying on corporations' tools. People should be guided to communities first, so they can also get information how to stay safe themselves.

    Am I wrong in thinking it's better that it doesn't show up in google result? Of course it sucks that it is deliberately hidden, but I feel like it will help the site staying under the radar from unwanted attention. People who put a slight effort to find it will still be able to find it.

    What's really weird is that the byline(?) says this article was published "today", when I saw this exact same headline more than a week ago.

    Annas Archive is better using their own in site search function anyway. I'm okay with this if it reduces AA legal exposure and just remains sort of an "open" secret

    The problem being...? Lots of alternative search engines out there and if you already know Anna's archive, just use that to search for stuff.

    don't most alternative search engines just use google or bing as a source?

    Just use Yandex if you want to search for somewhat shady stuff.

    They already found and downloaded the torrents to train their LLM. Double standard.

    I don't understand how Anna's Archive continues to operate, but I'm glad it does. If this keeps the lawyers at bay, and the site online, I'm fine with it. Anna's has its own search function that works just fine.

    Google quit being a useful search engine quite some time ago.
