Re: Stupid decision, stupid story, stupid people

Google is not being sent requests to squelch free speech - though it keeps telling people that that's what happened, and some people are stupid enough to believe them.

The original article is still there - it's just not going to turn up if you search for "Joe Bloggs". The filter applies to the search term, not to the web page!
