Google's Evilness Reaching Critical Mass
With "critical mass" I mean that Google has become so unreliable and untrustworthy in what they allow you to see of the Internet through their services (search engine, Google Earth etc.), that it has become commercially viable to compete with them in exactly those fields.

Liveleak.com (formerly Ogrish) is kind of a politically-incorrect YouTube, where you can see ZUSUK invasion forces being blown up by the Iraqi resistance and puppet-police and other traitors and war criminals being decapitated, that sort of thing. It has other stuff as well, mostly of a "hefty" nature. Google pretends that this website (which gets half a million hits/day) does not exist.
This is the second time I blog about Google not indexing a news website. If, of the hundred-or-so sites I regularly visit for news, SEVERAL of the most interesting are not indexed by Google and Google refuses to say why not, then it means that when you're a web-savy dude with an appetite for current events, that Google simply doesn't cut it and an uncensored search engine will have a chance to take Google's throne. And the more Google censors, the easier and the quicker a competing search engine will get market share.
As to Google Earth: Increasingly more unreliable and "politically correct". The real Fallujah is for two-thirds raised to the ground. Google Earth will NEVER use those images and use the false images instead, with entire suburbs that don't exist any more. Recently, Google has replaced the accurate images of ravaged New Orleans by fake imagery of that city BEFORE Katrina hit.
Who knows what else Google is hiding. When relying on them to index the web or provide you with geographical data, it's likely you'll never find out.
The same unreliability, but extremely much more so, afflicts Wikipedia. Wikipedia's problem is that any info that is not:
1. "Politically correct"
2. Considered "mainstream"
..will be immediately deleted by a member of the small group of non-domain expert Wikipedian censors that don't report to anyone. With immediately, I mean that a few minutes after the entry appeared, it will vanish - regardless of merit.
I've tried it with various topics I consider myself an expert on - my entries (often no more than a sentence or two) immediately disappeared. The same happens to just about everybody - hence the fact that some grassroot Wikipedians now started their own similar project, where only domain experts, not operatives, are allowed to post.
Of course this will lead to the same censorship, only worse, but it's a laudable initiative nevertheless.
Update: Google blacklisted the search engine KinderStart.com and won a lawsuit against them by Kinderstart.com. Kinderstart has to pay Google's legal fees and its lawyer faces disciplinary action for having the audacity to sue Google.
