Hi Ron:

It's not a free speech issue. It's a policy and guidelines issue (if you read the news article I linked to, you would see).

Natural News was penalized for violating Google's published guidelines.

It has happened to me before on many occasions. I didn't cry wolf, I kept searching until I found out what I did to violate their policies, and then correct my errors. Once this is accomplished, I regained my rankings (as long as they were actually deserved).

Believe me: You have no idea unless you've worked in the business. I used to work for a company that had an SEO department (and I worked in the dept.).

A company will do ANYTHING they can to try to get websites delisted, penalized, or rankings reduced.

Google, so far, has been absolutely amazing at retaining integrity, even when they mess up with their algorithm changes.

In the market I worked in (local Google market), companies would spend collectively hundreds of thousands of dollars a month competing for rankings.

Black Hat SEO is even worse.

Sometimes, people TRY to make a non-issue an issue. This just demonstrates how unreliable Mike has become as far as ethically representing what is actually true, and what is not.

I would never think of taking away anyone's right to speech... but right to Google Rankings? That's another story. If you don't play by the rules, you get penalized.

Hi Bob:

I agree with you 100%.  Natural News has become nothing more than a
grocery store tabloid with a political motivation.

...just because Mike says something, doesn't mean that it is true.  In
fact, it's laughably ridiculous:

...Google gave Natural News its prominence (and they make a lot of
money with advertising), and for the time being, has taken it away.

the mix of real info & crapola in the Natural News is bad enough that
their demise is no loss at all in my opinion.  do they still exist as
before in other sesrch engines?

Nenah thanks for this information, which is more of the same deterrent
to save face and create unrest for others.   It is everywhere, as we
are all en-captured in the fear of survival which is rife at this time
on our very damaged planet - we simply have to turn our minds inside
of ourselves and trust on what we are told by our inner voices as our
direction forward and the truth for us, we cannot allow the
perspectives of others to be our guide!!!!!     This is my answer to
those who trust in outside of themselves for the truth - remember we
are all connected we are all one, so we all are connected to the GOD
conscience with sees, and knows everything, not us individually Let me
ask you one question WHAT IS TRUTH ?    This idea, I may add, is not
religion but spirituality !!!!!
Peace, love and hugs
Sandee🐬
An attitude of gratitude is everything!!!
