Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed.
I’m SUPER curious of the story behind what happened. Did the uploader take it down? 1337? Why?
EDIT: The movie was Lady Ballers 2023 (wasn’t sure if I was allowed to say)
I did a little more research, and I think the copy the uploader put out was YTS but I don’t think they were affiliated with them. Maybe YTS told them to take it down? The movie is on their (YTS/YIFY’s) website.
Just because it is not on the most famous torrent site which you don’t own doesn’t mean its being censored. Just ask for the torrent from the uploader or look on another website. The internet is so open you can find it somewhere else.

I’m not sure why you’re under the impression Admins/moderators haven’t censored the Internet literally since it’s inception. As they should sometimes.
The Internet is definitely a mess, but that’s not why.
So stop using it
Removing hate-speech is not censorship any more than removing CSAM is censorship. It’s just being responsible.
Nobody who genuinely talks about “hate speech” has an opinion worth listening to
Lol, 10s on your profile says exactly why you think this way. Good luck getting through life so full of hate.
Lmao you seem to hold far more hatred than I
Bold claim to make from one comment. But then again, I shouldn’t expect any less from someone with your post history…
