    Not sure what this exactly means, but now we’re talking censorship by Bush and DOJ:

    If this is true, looks like there were agreed-upon “carve-outs” for alcohol, tobacco, pornography, and many other quality-of-life destructive vises.

    Totally amazing *hit going on in this country. A fascist dictatorship rapidly in the making……

    Who cares? They are just talking about disabling all the crap that somehow gets into the Google Sponsored listings anyway if I am reading it correctly. NOT about removing gambling sites from search.

    I wouldn’t be too sure that this is all it means, although you certainly can interpret it that way. Serious freedom-of-speech issues, if it is meant to purge all of their indices of gambling-related search engine information.

    I put nothing past this government. This *sshole can send 100,000 troops to Iraq, if he feels like it……it really is an amazing demarcation point in our history timeline, that will be looked back on as the beginning of infringement on our civil liberties.

    Yes, they have, so why this announcement then ??? Re-affirming the old “mandates” or is this new and does it go deeper than that (like into the SERPs) ?

    I don’t know. It just doesn’t make any sense.

    Gambling adds have been banned, but there are plenty of people either manipulating the system to get their ads up or Google are turning a blind eye to selected parties.

    This is exactly what I was thinking… Maybe this is a mandate to get rid of ALL gambling-related ads, even if it is for ‘free slots’ or ‘free ebook for gambling’.

    that is my guess, but who knows for sure.
