8/10 For those who don't trust http://worldnetdaily.com, here's cnet's account of Google blackballing cnet. So does that make Google about the same as as Putin? http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/05/technology/google_cnet \_ No \_ Well, with respect to the media at least they are. "We don't like what you print, so we're not talking to you anymore." \_ So Google is arresting its critics and having them tortured? Cool, can I work there...? \_ there's nothing that says they have to talk to everyone. I've always wondered about why people talk to 60 minutes... do they think it's going to be all rosy and peachy? If they were blocking cnet stories on http://news.google.com I'd be more worried. \_ no, Putin is more open than google. |
| money.cnn.com/2005/08/05/technology/google_cnet -> money.cnn.com/2005/08/05/technology/google_cnet/ RSS CNET: We've been blackballed by Google Tech news site says Google froze out its reporters for publishing Eric Sc hmidt's personal info. August 5, 2005: 6:13 PM EDT By: Jennifer Westhoven, CNN correspondent NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Google Inc. has blacklisted all CNET reporters for a year, after the popular technology news website published personal in formation of one of Google's founders in a story about growing privacy c oncerns for the Internet search engine, according to a CNET statement. CNET on Friday reported "Google representatives have instituted a policy of not talking with CNET News reporters until July 2006 in response to p rivacy issues raised by a previous story." That story, by reporter Elino r Mills ran under the headline "Google balances privacy, reach." Google spokesman David Krane told CNN the company declined comment. The CNET story, dated July 14, focused on privacy concerns since Google i s amassing such enormous amounts of data about people. It reported that some analysts fear it is becoming a great risk to privacy, because it wo uld be a tempting target for hackers, "zealous government investigators, or even a Google insider who falls short of the company's ethics," the article said. To underscore its point about how much personal information is available, the CNET report published some personal information about Google's CEO Eric Schmidt -- his salary; his neighborhood, some of his hobbies and po litical donations -- all obtained through Google searches. Schmidt is officially Google's chief champion and defender, and has publi cly said that there has to be a trade-off between privacy concerns and f unctionality. He has brought up Google's corporate motto, "Don't Be Evil " in those defenses. Just last week, a different technology changed its mind about cutting its ties with a Wall Street analyst. Altera Corp's chief financial officer apologized, and reversed its decisi on to stop talking to Tad LaFountain, an analyst at Wells Fargo Securiti es LLC who had argued that the company's share buyback program would hur t Altera's stock. Altera CFO Nathan Sarkisian said in a press release, "Regrettably, as a r esult of our action and the ensuing press coverage, some have concluded that our intention was to manipulate opinion." |
