Re: Why is Google censoring The American Spectator website?

Because something went haywire there. here is what one can get in two clicks:

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 48 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 1 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 07/08/2008, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 07/05/2008.

Malicious software includes 1 scripting exploit(s), 1 trojan(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 4 new processes on the target machine.

Malicious software is hosted on 4 domain(s), including o7o8gm.cn, maigol.cn, asslad.com.

3 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including hiwowpp.cn, maigol.cn, asslad.com.

The American Spectator


Probably because Google is a Christian-hating, flag-burning, terrorist-appeasing mouthpiece for the Obama campaign.

Well, the wiz kids at Google did work with the Chinese government to create a filter for words like: liberty, freedom & democracy, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Re: Why is Google censoring The American Spectator website?

has nothing to do with censorship. The web designer either let some bad stuff get installed on the website, or programmed some code that emulated the behaviour of spy or malware.
