let someone on the list who  might be better at letter writing than I
know.

Blessings and happy Monday

Hello to all. I was just on the tor network and launched google to do
a google search. I got a 403 forbidden when trying to search for
something. I know this might not be fixable, but Can this at least be
noted somewhere? Here is the contents of the error.
403. Thatâs an error.
Your client does not have permission to get URL
/sorry/IndexRedirect?continue=https://www.google.com/search%3Fclient%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den%26q%3Dmp3%2Bgain%2Bfor%2Bosx%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8&q=CGMSBAWHnmUY_fTTugUiGQDxp4NLCsckqwDOkyn9Xh-kSLm_OFC-oYE
from this server.  Thatâs all we know.
I dunno if this will help, as that's all I know at this time. I didn't 
know tor blocked google searches.
Take care and have a happy Sunday to all.
Whileas I am not a developer nor member of the Tor Project I will say that tor has not and will not censor their network. You can place the blame and submit your complaints to Google for blocking Tor. Using any search engine you are able to find the address of their headquarters and write them a letter. The Tor Project is unable to control Google's actions Since Google is blocking Tor users it's not Tor blocking Google.

Is it absolutely necessary that you use Google? Can't you use Startpage or DuckDuckGo instead? The the idea of sending a letter was a suggestion. I was stating it due to the fact that your origional email sounded like you were asking why the Tor Project blocks Google (which again they don't) (Google rate limits Tor).
