searchengineland.com De Indexed?

[Barry]

I noticed that Google has de indexed https://searchengineland.com/ - any ideas why they would do this?

Seems it was a mistake by google. They marked the site as hacked and therefore the site was de-indexed.

Google statement says they should be back in the index shortly. Bit of a cock up by Google!

If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. It's the same way Twitter and Facebook keep "whoops" banning people on a certain side of a certain discussion. You have humans running the company with emotions and biases that need to get their revenge fixes.
