The Hillary Watch Blog: FOIA reform is good, and more of it is better

GOOGLE'S BLOGSPOT STINKS

GOOGLE'S BLOGSPOT STINKS: INEPTNESS, CORRUPTION, ABUSE OF POWER

BY T.L. WINSLOW
MARCH 21, 2015. LAST UPDATE: MARCH 25, 2015.

Last year (May 21, 2014) Google shut down my Historyscoper's Islam Watch Blog from Blogspot.com sans notice, explanation, or recourse, who knows why since it's almost all links to other material on the Web that it lists in its search engine. After going public exposing them, they flopped and restored it 3 weeks later. It might have been Muslims, or even Pres. Obama and Eric Holder, I wish I could find out. They are as secretive as the CIA, and no more to be trusted than the Devil.

This time (Mar. 20, 2015) they took down my Historyscoper's Hillary Watch Blog, leaving a notice that it violates "Blogger's Terms of Service", with an automatic reply form to request a manual review, which is still pending, threatening to take it down permanently in 20 days. Was this the work of Hillary Clinton herself? Or some of her supporters, who spammed them with complaints, causing an automatic shutdown? Does it matter? Any corporation that sets up a system like this that tramples the rights of their customers and treats them in an antagonistic fashion who can lose all their work in an instant deserves no support from anybody.

What are their standards? They treated it as porno? Hate speech? How sick. This was a pure political blog filled with no original work by me, just links to articles and op-eds from the Web about Hillary Clinton, some of them satires, so to shut it down is a political act, really a political crime. A blog of LINKS to articles already in the search engine. Did they delete them too? I don't know, since they offer no explanation of their actions, or apologies, or damage settlement.

Let's say it was a particular post, or a particular image. Why don't they just take that post or image down, not the whole blog? What blatant abuse. I built the blog up post by post and image by image, and each time their software accepted it. There was a contract of trust there, and their total shutdown via software subject to a manual review is despicable. Let's say it was all based on some image. How self-contradictory when I probably got it from their search engine in the first place, and if the government tried to shut down their whole site for one image they'd be the ones crying bloody murder instead of me. The takedown notice stays that the blog "is currently visible to authors only", which is a lie, because I'm locked out of the authors menu for it, and can't even download its contents to use with another service.

In short, the Google outfit is out of control of its users, and not to be trusted ever again, and any alternative that comes along that takes away their business should be welcomed with open arms. In the meantime, I intend to do all I can to expose them and steer business elsewhere.

Yes Google is getting more and more corrupt and untrustworthy. I don't recommend anybody use its Blogspot service without planning on having a backup in case they come down on you in their abusive inept fashion. In the meantime I simply started a new Hillary Watch Blog on blogspot and continued on with my posts while the original blog stays blocked, losing my previous work, not that I care very much, since it was just a list of links that anybody can develop if they have the time.

I hope you agree with me that Google has too much power, and must go, it really must go. Actually, since there is no basic contract of trust with any user, using its services without any intention of backing them in a crisis is one of the best ways to pull the rug from under their feet when the time comes, so if they're giving it out free, take it, but never give them any money for it, or steer any advertisers to it. If it boils down to their Google Ads scam, then we all know what to do about that.

Watch for my new DOWN WITH GOOGLE blog, on blogspot. This will be post number one.
