Is Google censoring the AmpedStatus #OccupyWallStreet report?

[Fire Walk With Me]

Seems the homesite, ampedstatus.com, isn't showing up when you Google it...

http://ampedstatus.org/google-censors-our-occupywallstreet-report/

Looks like we may have passed the "then they laugh at you" part of "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" thing (Gandhi). That was quick.

1. Oddly enough:

http://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Google+Censors+Our+%23OccupyWallStreet+Report%22

Googling ampedstatus.org also brings up a large number of results. A very large number. It appears that the site is mistaken.

Further, this search:

http://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%E2%80%9CA+Report+from+the+Frontlines%3A+The+Long+Road+to+%23OccupyWallStreet+and+the+Origins+of+the+99%25+Movement.%E2%80%9D#q=%E2%80%9CA+Report+from+the+Frontlines%3A+The+Long+Road+to+%23OccupyWallStreet+and+the+Origins+of+the+99%25+Movement.%E2%80%9D&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvns&ei=B_eFTtidKcegsQKo7-2SDw&start=10&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=f2d1beb1c4e15df7&biw=1138&bih=545

Brings up precisely what they're talking about, echoed on many other sites, as well.

I don't believe Google is censoring this.

2. Yet another self-aggrandizing cry of "Censorship! Censorship!"

Some people will do anything to try to attract attention.

4. We don't know yet if it's true or not. Twitter and Yahoo! have already been caught censoring and

youtube had some weird moments yesterday as well.

[TheWraith]

13. No, we know very obviously that it's not true. Because it's not true.

Don't believe me?

It's right there, plain as day, that their claims their site isn't showing up are total bullshit.

15. It's back. It was not there a minute ago. I checked.

3. That's why I phrased the OP as a question: Gotta make sure it's true before saying it is...

But...I don't know why the originating site would not show up in the same day as posted, after searching what did they say, 20 pages deep? Weird.

6. I have no idea, but I'd never heard of that site before your post.

The title, however, shows up all over the web, so it's not as though Google is trying to suppress it. Someone may have typed it in wrong or something. It took me 30 seconds to test this and demonstrate that they are incorrect.

20. As the article points out, many sites DO show the news about the report

but Amped Status as author of report does NOT show up.
ie: the report on the Amped Status page is not linked.
AND
Again, as the article pointed out, Google inadvertently made the report more viral since it shows so many of the other sites that did link to it.
( You DID read the article to see the definition of the problem, yes?)

5. Is this some new "cry wolf" form of advertising? I've seen

"Is (google, facebook,twitter)censoring....." many times lately.

8. And now, this thread is near the top of the search.

Apparently claiming that Google is censoring your site does, indeed, get your site noticed. :rofl:

Maybe I'll try that on my web content writing business site. It might just work.

I could post here about Google censoring my site, and it would soon be posted on Google. Cool idea!

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. Oddly, it didn't also work for ampedstatus.com...this complaint gets hits but not theirs?

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. For a minute, twitter and yahoo DID censor. We have to make sure it doesn't repeat or spread.

7. I honestly don't think

Google gives a shit.

[MineralMan]

11. Bingo!

Google doesn't care what's on the web. They just want you to see their ads. Political content is a matter of no interest to Google.

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. UPDATE: Searching now brings up ampedstatus.com as the #1 result.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. So does that mean that now Google is supporting it?

...:shrug:

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. Evidently. For a minute it appears that they were not.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. I think you maybe don't understand how google works.

Or maybe how big the internet actually is.

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. Okay, but that would include ampedstatus also not knowing how google works.

I confirmed their finding, perhaps they were wrong? It would be a shame as the report to which they refer is extremely important.
