Google Censoring Google Blogs - I am discontinuing this blog!

Google, under pressure from other countries (purportedly) has decided to implement a new system of censorship with it's blogspot service.

This effectively allows Google to block and censor any blog for any reason beyond the practice of already monitoring and deleting posts that the "powers to be" do not like.

It seems that internet censorship is alive and well and growing under pressure from our government and other countries to monitor and block whatever they consider unfavorable.

Due to this new policy I am discontinuing my blogging and moving to another site where it will not be monitored and/or blocked at the whim of whomever. I will post the link in a few days as soon as I convert to a new blog.

It's unfortunate that Google has taken this approach and caved to political pressure, but it had to happen sooner or later as they have become another greedy,  corporate enterprise with nothing in mind other than to increase profits for self-serving management.

Words from Google Employees

There are many organizations out there doing an extraordinary job providing resources for LGBTQ youth, and we wanted to highlight a few as part of GLSEN’s National Ally Week: Trevor Project, GroundSpark’s Respect for All Project, the YouTube “It Gets Better” project and the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. GLSEN’s Safe Space campaign page provides resources and support for educators, policy makers, community leaders and students to take action to make a positive difference. We recently made a $50,000 donation to the Trevor Project, in support of the Levi’s Challenge Grant announced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show—they will be matching up to $50,000 dollars in donations to the Trevor Project. We’ve also donated to GroundSpark and GLSEN. We hope that other companies and individuals will consider doing the same.
