Google to block gun ads starting in September (2014)

[Tyeraxus]

Wonder how well it will work.

Or even if it will effect search results ..

That's my concern. Blocking ads is one thing, but messing with search results is quite another.

 

[Dave Taylor]

Just for emphasis.........

I'm gonna' say it again.....

Lots of very good reasons to use "DuckDuckGo" as opposed to Google...... with personal privacy being one of the better.

Read all about it HERE

Don't just bitch about Google..... do sumpin' about it:

Stop using Google search entirely and switch to using "DuckDuckGo"

Next for Google, banning Republic, Conservative and Christian adds.

Google already drives me crazy while driving because I have a company Shell gas card and apparently, Shell does not advertise on Google, so the search results are skewed against Shell stations.

As other say, in the long run, its a stupid business move on Google's part, in the end all it will be is an opportunity for their competition. No one has the market on information that cornered.

Gave up Google a long time ago. I have been using Bing and like it much better.

And the answer is ...

Disputed Territories

A different worldview, brought to you by Google maps

In a hackathon sponsored by the Knight-Mozilla OpenNews project this past weekend, information about Google's geographic capitulation revealed that maps for disputed territories look different depending on what country you're in when you search for them (Quartz). For example, the borders of the Kashmir region very depending on whether you search from India, Pakistan, or the United States, according to a web page documenting the hackathon's findings. A spokeswoman for Google told Quartz that: "Google Maps makes every effort to depict disputed regions and features objectively," but noted that certain jurisdictions have local laws regarding mapping that Google must follow.

I wonder what our southwestern border looks like when viewed from Mexico City, or the Alusian Island chain from Mother Russia ?

They're even blocking scopes and accessories... even gun belts wow, I never knew a rifle scope or a belt could kill someone all by itself.

Guns don't kill people. Bullets do.

This... but it's still discomfiting on occasion.

That said, my tracking blocker is blocking Google analytics as I type using Pale Moon... LOL

I really wish all ads were blocked.

I switched to Startpage.com years ago after learning of the scope of Google's data mining. It's run by Ixquick (which someone else mentioned), but uses the Google search engine without giving Google your IP address. It also includes a proxy link in the search results so you can pull up the page with some degree of anonymity.

 

[Zibner]

WOW guess I will have to use bing

 

[MrDman]

I'm switching browsers and email. Does Microsoft have the same anti 2A stance?
