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.

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.
