If they ban CNET from search results... You have the beginning of a POLICE STATE.

If I owned Google I would so manipulate it

Quickdraw · 08-05-2005, 11:04 PM

I believe they only banned the reporters from talking to Google reps.

Yeah thats what the story on CNN says.

mikeyddddd · 08-05-2005, 11:12 PM

They were blackballed.

"CNET on Friday reported "Google representatives have instituted a policy of not talking with CNET News reporters until July 2006 in response to privacy issues raised by a previous story."

They are not banned from listings.

Sheesh! Save the outrage for a real issue.

High Plains Drifter · 08-05-2005, 11:13 PM

Kind of a misleading title. Google banning anything from their results would be a huge can of worms that they don't want opened.

leg4 · 08-05-2005, 11:14 PM

I agree with Google on this issue, I am not siding with the shitty reporters.

I wish Google would BAN me in such a way!

GatorB · 08-06-2005, 12:49 AM

Google is a bunch of hypocites!

Hmmmmmmm let's see

Schmidt is officially Google's chief champion and defender, and has publicly said that there has to be a trade-off between privacy concerns and functionality.

then

To underscore its point about how much personal information is available, the CNET report published some personal information about Google's CEO Eric Schmidt -- his salary; his neighborhood, some of his hobbies and political donations -- all obtained through Google searches.

then

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Google Inc. has blacklisted all CNET reporters for a year, after the popular technology news website published personal information of one of Google's founders in a story about growing privacy concerns for the Internet search engine, according to a CNET statement.

So what Google is saying is that WE have to sacrifice privacy, not them.

Google is a private (ie., not government-owned) company. They can restrict freedom of speech as much as they want. The US Constitution only protects people from STATE (ie., government) actions.

Maybe I'm giving him too much credit, but I think he's implying that google has so much power over the internet that they're a government-like entity.

Sparks · 08-06-2005, 01:53 AM

Damn, that's messed up CNET did that.

Would be messed up if CNET had published private information gained from a private source, not a Google search

People still aren't reading the entire thread or story.

Oh well. I agree with what GatorB said (http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showpo...&postcount=14). Seems they are getting a taste of there own medicine. Its part of the business they should get back to work they need to keep the stock high and find those 2 chefs.
