From Infowars.com: Could Google have made the same mistake twice in consecutive weeks? We cannot verify their claim that, "the technical issue affected all videos," as from our careful tracking it only seemed to impact Terror Storm, Loose Change 2nd Edition and a handful of other videos about the 9/11 inside job.
We have enjoyed using Google's services for years and we do not seek to pick a fight simply to garner attention.
Google's censorship policies in China and even those directed against US websites that are mildly critical of China prove that the company that was founded on the principle "don't be evil," is slowly beginning to resemble the very controlling Big Brother image it claimed to despise. They also admit to censoring India.
The Google help page used to state that it did not censor search results. This policy has now changed and Google now carried that proviso that, "in response to local laws, regulations, or policies," it may censor certain content.
Google's recent announcement, that it would use in-built computer microphones to spy on the habits of 150 million Americans , should send a chill down the spine of anyone who still cherishes personal privacy and freedom - especially as analysts predicted the technology would subsequently be turned over to the government who would use it to conduct blanket NSA spying trawls in the name of the war on terror.
In light of Google's $1.65 billion acquisition of You Tube , potential control and censorship of the Internet's newest burgeoning platform - online videos - should be of paramount concern.
Terror Storm has now entered the top 100 category of popular videos on Google. Will its viewership numbers be falsely represented for a third time by Google - ensuring the film plunges back into relative online obscurity - or will Google fix its "mistake," rescind its censorship, and allow the online video domain to be a fair and level playing field?
