Week 9 of POOP

As Google's post removal tool remains completely broken with no fix in sight, a rather interesting story emerged several days ago.

Google finally repaired its long-broken Usenet search engine - which folks had been complaining was broken for well over a year. Google said they fixed it after reading a piece in Wired about its wrecked condition.

That's more proof Google doesn't read its own help forums. They didn't even know one of its key features was out of order until they read about it in Wired!

That means we're going to have to keep exposing Google's failure to repair its post removal tool until a site like Wired picks up the story. Clearly, that's the only way it's ever going to be fixed, since Google stopped reading its own help forums.

Meanwhile, thin-skinned private school representatives clutter the help forums to demand that Google censor groups that dare to criticize the school. Google won't do enough to protect innocent individuals' privacy and control of their own works, yet some idiot is out there trying to make Google screen free speech.

Talk about misplaced priorities!
