even if google supports obama, which i dont know for a fact is true, if THEY are the ones blocking these anti-obama sites that should not be allowed at all. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and google is supposed to be a figurehead in the battle for net nutrality! which leads me to believe google didn’t do this on purpose.

This wouldn’t surprise me, but could have been Obama’s opreratives. Worse than that is the fact ( proven by just watching ) that Hollywood and 98% of News organizations have been running a campaine for the Left. They only report the bad news if it will make the Republicans look bad, but not if it hurts Democrats. This has been going on for 6 years.

I think the two candidates are more alike than people would like to believe. They both tend towards Marxisn…

“chairman of Netcompetition. org, which opposes so-called “net neutrality” regulation that would prohibit Internet service providers from slowing or blocking Web applications that hog bandwidth, among other provisions. ”

They oppose net-neutrality???

“Mr. Cleland suggested the company is censoring content, violating one of the very net neutrality principles” ???????????
Am I missing something here??

google is notorious for being in bed with the left. they’ll continue to get away with it too.

I have a regular WordPress blog with my own site name.

Over this past weekend I was tracking visits and noticed a hugh increase in google.com visits from Google headquarters.

The person(s) would type in site:www.mysitename.com and enter the site from one of over 3,000 posts. They were visiting Obama posts, which have grown exponentially in the last few months. They are accurate and not what a pro-Obama person would like to see. I have had some recent harassment and had to monitor comments.

This is NOT a blogger account and is owned by me independently. I don’t think paranoia is seeping into my body but I find it odd that Google personnel would spend many hours at my site at different times around the clock and then suddenly have a drop big in my visits.

I have systems background and have no idea if they could do anything but limit my indexing, remove some indexing or slow the process of where I come up in searches. The high percentage of my hits do come from Google search or Google Blog search.

Thanks to all of you for sharing you thoughts. It is appreciated.
All the best, Ron

Seems like the author is trying to confuse
A: “lack of net neutrality”
with
B: “moderating / censoring”

A: something only an ISP can do. They can slow down packets, block _existing_ services for their own benefit. E.g. ISPs hindering Skype traffic so you will sign up for their own VOIP. Note here that the ISP is not the one serving the content.

B: This happens when a site “polices” their own service. (For right or for wrong). It can be compared to deleting comment on a site you manage. Deleting spam entries, etc.

The main difference here is:
Is the person (supposedly) doing the blocking of content the same as the one who is hosting it?

Its exactly the same as say uploading pictures to a free Flickr account.  Flickr.com can remove them for any reason they come up with, or no reason at all. Same thing happens when you set up a free blog somewhere. You get what service you pay for.

Wether Google was right or wrong in blocking certain sites or not is a different discussion.

But throwing in “net neutrality” is a dirty political twist of words.

Google needs to take responsibility for censoring these blogs by publicly apologizing and pledge to never censor content again…force them to change or else we will blog on non-Google platforms: https://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/stop-google-censorship
