Google Shuts Down Conservative Blog

This guy is a clown. Google has no right to host his stuff - he's free to do that elsewhere if he likes. You may call it censorship, but Google has no obligation to support him.

That google doesn't believe in "customer support" should warn off anyone who really needs that - caveat emptor.

Anything sufficiently controversial should probably be self-hosted, no?

Sure, but there was no warning, no notification of violation, and (if what they say is true) an erroneous categorization of being "spam."

In short, incredibly poor customer service (completely absent) and disrespectful to the user.

Personally, I think it's a shame, given the breadth of other content on Blogger, that this would be killed without recourse.

Imagine if this were your gmail account and you had a politically charged email :). Different terms of service, but people expect the same terms from the same company.

That's the Google I know, everyone has a "Google pulled the plug on me without a good reason and refuses to reconsider" story, or knows someone who does.

Really?

Yes, Google really does engage in censorship.
