Anyone with me on a startup that only indexes the part of the internet Google doesn't touch? No Google Adwords enabled sites No Google Analytics enabled sites No Google CDN referencing sites etc... I don't want anything to do with them anymore at all. Ever. Or anyone who has anything to do with them. Can we take our internet back?

I was thinking about this. I'm lazy and not very talented, so is there any decent code existing and open sourced that could be adapted to spider only sites without advertising?

Oh. This is more of that project Veritas BS. Expect every inadvisable piece of analysis or research ever downloaded by a low-level Google sales rep to be presented as a exclusive leak of what the company has been secretly planning.

The instant I saw Project Veritas was attached to this I stopped reading. Their entire track record screams, "You can't trust a single thing we say."

If the host of the documents induces psychological stress, here's a document that explains the triggers and stressors you're enduring.

Just crawl, and then disregard sites that have certain scripts present.

Yeah, technically, it'd be very easy. I've written countless spiders, crawlers, etc.

Basically, only index items where webpage.indexOf('google') < 0
