Evil Google Blogspot Blog Removal Problem Bites Google
Evil Google Blogspot Blog Removal Problem Bites Google
Google continues to get it wrong with regard to deleting blogspot blogs using automated methods.
My 77 year old mother-in-law’s family history blog was deleted.
Porno spammers and phone sex sites now occupy the top positions on Google, Yahoo and MSN for some completely non-adult related terms because Google refuses to acknowledge they have a problem.
Matt Cutts (Google spam engineer) has ignored comment posts on his blog about the issue.
The link below is another interesting article on the problem Google is having with identifying which blogs should be automatically deleted to reduce spam.
If your blog has been deleted then don’t feel so bad.
Google deleted their own blogspot blog.

Google actually had recourse and got the blog back.
You have no recourse.
If they delete your blog, it will be gone and some porno spammer will end up owning it.
Some proposed new slogans for Google:
“Evil is as Evil does”
“You get what you pay for”
“Buyer Beware”
“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out”
“Google search is like a box of chocolates … You never know what you’re gonna get.”
… and a few slogans that are already used …
“In the end, there will be only one”
- from “Highlander”
“One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them”
- J. R. R. Tolkien from “The Lord of the Rings”
Google is also out trying to patent free WiFi and delivery of advertising over wireless. I wonder if they cited my work as prior art.
