This article discusses how Mouthwashing was allegedly deindexed on Itch, implying that it was due to censorship, but that is not the case.
The response from Itch on the matter:
Archive that proves the game wasn’t indexed since 2024
I sincerely apologize for unintentionally helping to spread misinformation. May this post serve as a warning that Mouthwashing was not censored and that we must remain cautious about what we see on social media.
Yeah, they link to other stores without offering a native purchase or download, they don’t get indexed. Not a new rule, and a rather sensible one. The product page is still available via linking.
