Re: Censorship by Google?

I know that during the election that we had an increase of visitors and many IP addresses were government addresses. I believe they were watching closely to what all was being said on blogs and forums!

A day or two later I found that the forum was listed when this title was goo-gled; which is how the author of the post found us.

Now, here is the interesting part.... It doesn't appear that we show up anymore as having this post nor most of the other sites that were originally listed.

Perhaps somebody can give me a better explanation than censorship. I wait to hear more from the computer savy of which I am not!
This is nothing new with goo-gle, they always used censorship.
They are also anti gun!

Huh?

Where else did Goo-gle censor you, and how can a search engine be anti gun?

We had on line store that sold equipment to private lic contractors, that had nothing to do with guns, nor to the public. Goo-gle would not list our company at the time, nor any other company they thought sold weapons! We contacted Goo-gle, they said it's their right!

This happen 8 years ago, they won't let gun dealers advertise. You can write them, they'll tell you they are anti gun!

Again we didn't sell guns!

Ah, ok. Interesting - thanks for the clarification.

Goo-gle just built a huge data center in Council Bluffs, IA, just a few miles from us.

Apparently, Goo-gle was voted best place in America to work.

It was facts, which you seem to not recognize.
