have a lot of sites been censored or shut down or is it just me

i've been online since 2005 when i got my first desktop computer, and now i can't seem to find the sites i remember and liked back then, and i wondered whether the internet is being censored or has those sites been shut down?

why can't i find the search results and websites i used to find/discover? i am from the uk.

Many websites are now hidden ... it's been this way for a number of years, with numbers steadily increasing annually.

Indeed the Internet is being censored in also more than just this way. It is what it is.
