we definitely need documented proof on this, and then publicise it!! On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 4:51 PM, Sepp Hasslberger <[email protected]> wrote:
I have no doubt that it IS true that Google is censoring.
They downgrade selected content that offends their major customers (both advertisers and government agencies) or puts them in a bad light.
I've had some experience of this myself when Google re-did its algorythms and my major articles critical of Pfizer's cholesterol lowering drug Lipitor which had been on the first page of Google results for some years, all of a sudden were way down, nowhere to be found on a search, and instead the sites that sell the drug and that sing its praises were up where my critical articles had been.
To me, it's a fact that Google censors its results, not only news but also normal search. It is not widely known, but it should be. Robin Good, who hosts my health site, at the time did not believe Google could ever do such a thing. I think he may be slowly changing his mind. If he did, and got on that story, we might have an outlet to a larger public.
