Comments on: How Much of Cryptogon Has Google Disappeared? http://cryptogon.com/?p=1464 news - analysis - conspiracies Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:25:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Laurel http://cryptogon.com/?p=1464&cpage=1#comment-11540 Laurel Sun, 02 Dec 2007 19:06:46 +0000 http://cryptogon.com/?p=1464#comment-11540 Hi, Well, google seems to be disapparing a lot of stuff and we have been keeping track of it for awhile at sott.net. We even started archiving news (which is how sott.net was born) because so much was being scrubbed. It was shocking. And of course, because we are archiving a lot of stuff that was supposed to disappar, WE have to disappear too. We've learned a few things, though, the main one being that you have to have friends on the net who link to you and you link back, and you re-post each other's stuff freely (if it fits your format), or link to it and/or comment on it. That way, even if google tries to disappear you, there are still enough traces and links for people to find you - and if there are REALLY a lot of comments and links, it makes google look really stupid. After all, it got to be so big by being the "big bananan" of finding things on the net. Google won't survive if more people become aware of the fact that they CAN'T find stuff on the net they are looking for. If you go to sott.net and use the special database search function and type in "intitle: google" you will get 80 returns at the moment. Among those are such interesting items as: Google: Disabling the Politically Incorrect Media Manipulation: Users Mistakenly Trust Higher Positioned Results in Google Searches Google seeks to replace our minds Google is watching you - and soon your DNA as well US Congress questions Google over maps whitewashing Katrina damage (Who DOES Google Really Serve?) Google-ized - An Interview with Computer Guru Adam Engel Uruknet Cut Off From Google News. A Call For Action! Abovetopsecret: Ethics and Google Bombs Anyway, there are methods to deal with google and its censorship, but it takes a network of friendly souls/sites.

We’ve learned a few things, though, the main one being that you have to have friends on the net who link to you and you link back, and you re-post each other’s stuff freely (if it fits your format), or link to it and/or comment on it. That way, even if google tries to disappear you, there are still enough traces and links for people to find you – and if there are REALLY a lot of comments and links, it makes google look really stupid. After all, it got to be so big by being the “big bananan” of finding things on the net.

Google: Disabling the Politically Incorrect

Google is watching you – and soon your DNA as well

US Congress questions Google over maps whitewashing Katrina damage (Who DOES Google Really Serve?)

Google-ized – An Interview with Computer Guru Adam Engel

Uruknet Cut Off From Google News. A Call For Action!

Abovetopsecret: Ethics and Google Bombs

Anyway, there are methods to deal with google and its censorship, but it takes a network of friendly souls/sites.

It is reviewing everything I look at and then bringing me more articles...It tells me when things change in the Wikipedia...I cannot tell if Google is entirely evil, this desktop thing sometimes seem to be talking to me...Could they be censoring you for your own protection? is that a too ridiculous claim?
