Shouldn't google block youtube if they care about massive corporate supported copyright infringement?

  Who says this is about copyright infringement?

    Given that this is a torrent site, I think that malfeasance is a natural, and good, first assumption. Attributing things to ignorance over malice is only going to result in evil people getting away with it.

  I'm as cynical as the next person but this appears to over ads that have a malware payload when clicked (maybe when even not clicked, is this possible??) -- not copyright infringement. Anyways this site: https://torrentfreak.com/chrome-blocks-major-torrent-sites-over-harmful-programs-150710/ https://torrentfreak.com/chrome-blocks-major-torrent-sites-o... says that the issue is already resolved so we don't need to run around screaming that the sky is falling and pointing fingers :) See the very end of the post. Update: Some people report that Firefox also started blocking access to several torrent sites. Update: ExtraTorrent says it successfully resolved the issue with Google through webmaster tools. RARBG is also unblocked. Update: Google didn’t comment on this specific situation and referred us to a recent blog post. --- link provided by superasn: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9869360 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9869360
