Google Censors News On Islam?
May 21, 2006 |
I have never like the concept of ‘hate’ laws. You might say I ‘hate’ them. The concept is ill conceived, arbitrary and well… just plain stupid. Here is one reason. No law is broken but a label is now applied. Some might have said similar things about some of the articles posted here.

Subject: [#58423255] Google NewsHi Frank,
Thanks for writing. We received numerous reports about hate content on your site, and after reviewing these reports, decided to remove your site from Google News. We do not allow articles and sources expressly promoting hate speech viewpoints in Google News (although referencing hate speech for commentary and analysis is acceptable).
For example, a number of the complaints we looked at on your site were found to be hate content:

http://www.newmediajournal.us/staff/stock/05082006.htm
http://www.newmediajournal.us/guest/imani/04222006.htmWe hope this helps you understand our position.
Regards,
The Google Team
Who will they target next. People actually buy this. ACLU… probably would funnel money to shut the site down. So much for truth or free speech. Just attach the word ‘hate’ and you have the right to silence the source. Want to help. Go to Atlas Shrugs. Instructions posted in this article here.

Hate crime laws - if i get beat up and a minorty gets beat up in the same fight, why should the punishment be more for beating up the minority. it shouldnt be.
