google bans CNET
 

take that bitches http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/05/tech...ex.htm?cnn=yes

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.


damn..blacklisted through the whole system

Ohhhh snap

umm cnet is still on google though

have to wait for the next dance for it to show..

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

why? if you owned google and someone posted your info on a huge news network you would be pissed too, no matter if its public domain or not its a point..

If I owned Google I would so manipulate it :thumbsup

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

Yeah thats what the story on CNN says.

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.

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

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! :Oh crap

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.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Shitheads.

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.

You're right . . . now turn on your ICQ please

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.

Damn, that's messed up CNET did that.

so true :upsidedow

fuck Cnet is going to lose alot of money from this.

thats typical for gfy
fuckers are too stupid to read lol

if you owned google you'd have more money then you could imagine spending, why waste your time manipulating SERPS to make what in comparison would be a piss boy's wages to what you're already get....

Would be messed up if CNET had published private information gained from a private source, not a Google search :1orglaugh

Pretty much what it sounds like to me :upsidedow

looks like they did :)

That is our future - slaves of the corporation, some are already living it. Thanks for the reminder :thumbsup .

Yea denny's tried banning all black people for a bit, it didn't work out too well.

Are you surprised?

:1orglaugh

haha... not to shabby :1orglaugh

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.

I spoke to Eric when I was a headhunter, very nice guy.

I was thinkin' the same thing. :thumbsup
