Google bans Aussie SpaceWar.com.
Gerroa, Australia (SPX) Feb 24, 2006 - Google Inc. has banned SpaceWar.com, a news site covering military space. Reasons for the ban by Google are unclear. The company did not communicate with Space.TV Corp., the owner of SpaceWar.com, prior to its action, and Google representatives did not respond to requests for comment. Space.TV Corp is consulting with legal advisers in the United States and Australia, where production of the company's Web sites is conducted. We consider the ban a violation of the recently enacted US-Australia Free Trade Agreement, and a gross violation of freedom of speech. Please explain Mr Google Inc.
Click on the link above for the whole story. Space.War have been sending daily e-mails for along time, all of it is public domain, un commented stories - we are aware that with stories on UAV's, Unmanned Stealth boats, missile technology, Bruce Gagnon, No Nukes North a lot of interest from "official" sites is generated.
Are we seeing the start of the Pentagon's war on the web ?
