It might. I don't think it passes the Occam's Razor test, though - given Google, I'm more inclined to go with 'an algorithm did something automatically somewhere.'


I don't know about Google, but many companies automatically block any resource that receives X number of DMCA or abuse letters.

While a human being looks at it; they just put up a generic "this blank has been blocked for terms of service violations".


Or an algorithm churned out a list for human "review".

And someone making $200k a year probably spent about 8 seconds thinking about whether to flush this particular site.

"Can't they find someone else to do this job? My stomach aches. I hear there's a new sushi chef over the next building..."
