Bonam Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Wikileaks has been subject to marginalization on the Internet. Google searches have been scrubbed... That's very true! ... Oh come on guys. Ever bother to do some basic research into these "lefty" conspiracy theories. Here: https://www.google.c...lient=firefox-a Guess what the first google search result is: the wikileaks home page. It's even one of those fancy results with all the sub-links, Edited November 6, 2012 by Bonam Quote

It's even one of those fancy results with all the sub-links, Really getting tired of the 'lefty' 'righty' thing. I am not on the left or the right. Why does it always come down to that? Good tactic at marginalization? They had to change their domain for some time, it was not .org for the year right after they broke a bunch of stories in which Manning now sits in prison for. They even had to just go by IP address because the host provider was messing with the DNS records as was the USA's intelligence communities. The site may not be blocked from results, but content within wikileaks you try to search for from Google I guess would be scrubbed. Quote
WIP Posted November 6, 2012 Report Posted November 6, 2012 Oh come on guys. Ever bother to do some basic research into these "lefty" conspiracy theories. Here: https://www.google.c...lient=firefox-a Guess what the first google search result is: the wikileaks home page. It's even one of those fancy results with all the sub-links, Did you miss the memo? Not everyone gets the same page results from a google search. A recent WSJ article informs us on how to turn off Google's personalizing algorithm....and downplays the potential harms of skewing information that could be available for the world's largest search engine, but to me, the mere fact that you have to make a special effort to prevent Google profiling is part of the greater web of deceit which favours large players with lots of money, and will increasingly marginalize the lowly blogger or reporter on the fringes.....and I haven't even mentioned the impact net neutrality plays in this issue: How to Turn off Google’s Personalized Search Results But, you didn't comment on the National Archives banning of Wikileaks searches. That is clear, overt censorship, no different than what the Chinese Government does in controlling information available for their people.
