update on “jew”
Google sticks to ‘Jew’ search, amid protests - The Times of India
Google Inc the leading Internet search engine, said Monday that it had no plans to alter its search results despite complaints that the first listing on a search for the word “Jew” directs people to an anti-Semitic Web site.
though I did notice just now that if you type in ‘jew’ now, wikipedia is number one, not that other site, so either the googlebombing is working or google gave it a nudge.
and google has an explantion of their search results in a special ‘offensive search results’ page that is linked at the top when you search ‘jew’
i suggest we start googlebombing both the wikipedia url AND the next good one down the list to start pushing it completely off the front page.
damn, just damn..:-(
It’s frightening how many OTHER anti-semitic sites come up near the top too. Why do people believe in liberal progress? Our age is just as dark as any…
Hello, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your journal today. As a matter of fact, I can’t seem to stop! Must go read more! Congratulations on your lovely family.
I can see Google’s point. If they start deliberately skewing their search results, it sets an awful precedent. It’s the bigots who should be blamed here, not Google. Under the circumstances, I think inserting a page on “Offensive Search Results” was the best option.
