The Historyscoper's Free Speech Watch Blog: 2015

For several months Google has been running some kind of robot software that scans all the blogs it hosts on blogger.com and blogspot.com and summarily deletes them along with all posts, and locks the owner out from even accessing them. All it provides the owner is a message informing them that their entire blog is "spam", along with a button to push to request a manual review, which includes more mumbo jumbo about the Terms of Service. Too bad, when you push the button the review often never happens, and in 20 days the blog with all its posts, comments, etc. is deleted forever. If there is a review it is usually accompanied with an apology for deleting your blog by mistake.

With me, they deleted at least a dozen blogs in a few days. As you must know, they're all like this one, blogs listing daily articles on some political or social topic along with links to read them. They are a result of my intensive intellectual labor and nobody else on the Net can duplicate them, which is why I get viewers from around the globe daily including leading universities, think tanks, and govt. organizations. That's spam? They're propagating knowledge to support political views, and as such they're totally protected by law and can never be in violation of anybody's terms of service. One blog, the New Age Watch Blog had almost a million page views, but when they failed to review it it's now gone forever. This is an outright crime, a violation of the U.S. govt.'s terms of service so to speak, starting with the CAN SPAM Act, which specifically protects political campaigns from being called or treated like spam.

They finally went too far by deleting this blog listing articles about FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Google has earned the name of infamy forever for this. Can it be traced to the top brass, or just some criminal or incompetent employees. Since there has been no apology or any sign of action, the top brass must be held accountable.

But they restored this blog so why complain? Because it's now been deleted TWICE. Yes, that's right, after apologizing and restoring it once, they turned around and did it again.

Who runs Google? Do they think they're above the law? Lucky for me I long ago began hosting my blogs elsewhere, and I recommend all who read this to do the same for their own protection.

But it's about Google's whole operation.

What kind of outfit would create and run software that deletes entire blogs automatically? Why doesn't it just flag them and inform their operators, who must manually delete them and take personal responsibility for the decisions? How can an entire blog be "spam"? I suppose spammers could create a blog and fill it full of links to ads, but mine are full of links to articles, not ads. They don't even flag individual posts and delete only them, they delete whole blogs, destroying all the work one has done. They don't even give a warning that it's subject to being deleted and hold off until the owner's appeal is settled, they act first and make you appeal second. When they don't even act on the appeal their software automatically deletes the blog forever in 20 days, how abusive. There should be no way to do that until an appeal has been ruled on and somebody takes personal responsibility that can be taken to court.

Personal responsibility. That's Google's crime. Why doesn't the govt. shut them down and prosecute? Funny, but then they would get all the benefit of the due process of law they deny their users.

They clearly don't care about their users, only their paying advertisers. This is the nightmare of too much power in too few hands, when some computer geeks set up some software then attracts so many users they become a de facto monopoly, and abuse their power to keep getting more money.

If I were running a different blog hosting site, I'd inform people of Google's abuses and use it to steal users. Let's hope.

MUST-READ: GOOGLE THINKS IT'S ABOVE THE LAW

For several days now Google has been summarily shutting down my blogs sans explanation other than "SPAM" (their caps), also preventing me from accessing the posts to download them for posting on another blog service. This ranges from blogs with just a few posts to some with thousands of posts and tens or hundreds of thousands of pageviews. This blatant trampling of my rights forever gives them away as an enemy of freedom of speech except for themselves, and I'm contemplating legal action to make them tell it to a judge. The first one they shut down was my Hillary Watch Blog, making me suspect that Hillary Clinton and her people are behind it, and that it was so obvious they're lamely trying to cover their tracks by shutting down blogs on other topics, although they are just laying more tracks.

It's funny that they use the word SPAM then cite their Terms of Service to justify summarily shutting a blog down. Those very Terms of Service don't even mention the word spam except to brag that they provide free spam detection services for user messages. The term spam means commercial advertisements that are broadcast by the thousands or millions via email, which might cover comments in blogs, but never was intended to apply to the content of blogs, which are protected by free speech rights. All along as I built each blog up post by post, their software accepted the posts and published them, sometimes for years, so to shut down the whole blog along with all posts with as flimsy an excuse as this is not only wrongful denial of service, but bordering on criminal. The order to do this must have come from high up in Google, and I'd love to find out who. Maybe only somebody as high up as Hillary Clinton would get them to try it, but if there are others out there who got the same treatment please comment here for all to see, or email me using my email form on tlwinslow.weebly.com.

They clearly think that none of their users gains any rights to continue using their so-called free service merely by signing up for it and blogging, which is what lawyers call a pyramid scheme. Clearly, nobody who uses Google's Blogger, Blogspot and other blog services is safe, because they can lose their entire blog with all its contents with no way to even download them at any time, and they will have no recourse other than hiring an attorney to take them to court. Any pretense that Google is a champion of free speech is now gone forever, and I hope the entire outfit is put out of business by a better one in the near future. Never again will I trust Google. Should you?

I posted this on Mar. 4, 2015. Let's see how long it takes for this blog to simply disappear. Don't accuse me of framing them, it's all their own doing to frame themselves on being unfit to continue in business. Too bad, they don't own the Internet, and I'm moving my blogs to my own historyscoper.com Web site using free WordPress software, so visit this page to get the urls and keep reading my cool posts:

http://historyscoper.com/historyscoperblogs.html

Mar. 5, 2015. Received an email from Google that one of the blogs was manually reviewed and restored to service because their automated blog killer made a mistake. I guess all of them were removed by this bot. What kind of maroons could have programmed such a POS? I'm still waiting for all the other blogs to be restored. At least the email contained a routine apology, sheesh. I wonder if they will all be restored, but even if they are, I'll never trust them again, and have already migrated almost everything to my historyscoper.com site, but will leave them up anyway in case I missed migrating anything important.
