Narrow not true

Yesterday, I used google.de with these search words Minol+Grundstück+Entschädigung+Treuhand.In English: Minol (company name), allottment/land parcel, compensation, Treuhand = government department name that dealt with assetts in the former East Germany. Our family's land in the former East Berlin was confiscated without compensation by the Kohl government, so I check from time to time, if they have developed a sense of justice. (Of course not.)
These are political terms relating to reunification criminality, nothing to do with protecting children, or Jewish topics. Google results displayed a note that some results were not shown and when I clicked on the link it said that some blockages had been put in place, no specifics, no reason - for this purely political topic which is about 'stealing' land.
No, my dearest google, you are blocking to protect the fraudsters. They've probably deceived you that these were porn or anti-semitic sites, not good enough for this Kohl victim.

china vs google and choogling

China censors strike Again
First google, now choogling
New search engine specific to China, (www.choogling.com), launched to fill the void left by google’s departure, has now been blocked, and the site hacked!
According to Mao Ze Wrong, one of the developers of the search engine, choogling has no plans to retreat to Hong Kong or move its operations outside of China. “Choogling was developed in and for China. We remain 100 percent committed to China and serving the Chinese netizens.”
Choogling was launched in beta test mode early this month, but quickly attracted hundreds of millions of China-specific searches in China. The name was suggestive of a blend of China + googling = choogling. But choogling actually comes from “chu-ge,” (the sounds of a people surrounded by enemies) and “ling” (clever, as in response to a sharp insult).

@W.- "google (according to their public statements)"

Oh. Well, if that's what a company whose origin is cloudy, appeared out of nowhere with billions to buy server farms, has a presence everywhere, is expanding into dozens of unrelated areas, and the "cover" of which is perfect for net surveillance says, then I stand corrected.

At best, you're practicing a subtle censorship of your own, trying to stifle opinion.

chinareallysucks.com

You call that a website ?
It isn't even a dissident blog.
You little troll, go back to playing on Slashdot while munching Cheetos in your mother's basement.

why isn't l'inq up on thomas drake NSA?

Yeah, google is horrible.
WHY hasn't l'inq had a story about the Obama justice dept. indicting Thomas Drake, former NSA, whistleblower.
They're intimidating whistleblowers in the US electronic surveillance field.

Get up to speed L'INQ!

google vs china

Goodbye google; good riddance. China doesn’t need outsiders telling it what to do. It needs its own homegrown search engine, with built in switches to vary degrees of truth, censorship and nationalistic pride. That's why we will soon be launching choogling.com

@bigger_luddite

I'm not sure what go_ogle is doing, but google (according to their public statements) only asked the NSA to help find the people who hacked them, and they said they first made sure the NSA had limited access and could not see general private info on people (possibly true since they must have plenty to hide themselves).

Now a whole different matter is why they asked the NSA, a national security agency for the government to help with an attack that is coming from outside the country and is on a company not anything run by the US government, if it had been an hack sponsored by the chinese government it would be the CIA that might be interested, if it was illegal access to a nationwide system it might be the FBI, but the NSA should NOT be involved, and it is indeed a bit odd, a damn bit odd.

But still, they are not 'openly merging with NSA' and saying it in that way like some fringe lunatic doesn't help either side.

"Don't be evil." -- Yet.

Who *needs* such a reminder? The key feature of those in power today is saying the exact opposite of intentions and actions.

And for those who somehow missed it: go_ogle is openly merging with NSA.

I think Google is right.

As long as Paul Otellini is listed in Google's Board of Directors, I will be fine everything what Google thinks.
