510: Furtive Movement
Google Blacklisting, Dvorak.org Malware Warnings, Browser Censorship
Google blacklisted Dvorak.org and associated sites including NoAgendaShow.com following a WordPress injection infection. The hosts argue that Google has become the "internet police," using browser-level blacklisting in Chrome and Firefox to control web access. Criticism is directed at Jeff Jarvis and Google executive Matt Cutts for their roles in deifying the company's influence over information flow.
