Indymedia and Infoshop Banned From Google
Beginning in just the past week or two, all of the Indymedia websites
around the world as well as several other important independent media
sites such as infoshop.org were kicked off of this central news engine,
which boasts of its breadth of sources as an indicator that it is open to
diversity of opinion and "democracy" of some sort or another.
With the prospect of an immanent war emerging this seems to be a case of
blatant censorship intended to keep the general public from accessing
independent sources of information. Therefore, Indymedia activists in
some cities and others such as infoshop.org are urging users to flood
Google news with phone calls and emails protesting this blatant
censorship - Google can be reached toll-free at (866)246-6453: while this
is the advertising department it is the only place to get a human being
on the phone with you. You can make your complaint or asked to be
transferred to the operator who will log your complaint as well. When I
called I was told that I should email my complaint to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word
"firefly" in the subject line which is a password that
indicates to them that they need to respond immediately to the request
since the requester has gone to the trouble of calling the only phonline
with a human being at the other end, the ad department. Following are
other addresses and phone numbers for Google in order to protest in
person or contact them in order to get this decision reversed.
