Google banns itself for cloaking? - GoFuckYourself.com

Just read it on SEW Blog:

No, it's not April Fool's Day. Google has indeed cloaked pages on its own search engine and now banned those pages from its index. Turns out, Google says it's an accident that happened due to it trying to optimize its internal search engine used by AdWords support people. Nevertheless, the company's now banned its own pages from its own search engine for cloaking.

Has anyone heard about that

They do claim not to play favourites, so it makes sense. Cruelly ironic for them, but good that they did it.
