GOOGLE'S BLOGSPOT SHOWS GOOGLE'S INEPTNESS, CORRUPTION, AND ABUSE OF POWER

Last year (May 21, 2014) Google shut down my Historyscoper's Islam Watch Blog from Blogspot.com sans notice, explanation, or recourse, who knows why since it's almost all links to other material on the Web that it lists in its search engine. After going public exposing them, they flopped and restored it 3 weeks later. It might have been Muslims, or even Pres. Obama and Eric Holder, I wish I could find out. They are as secretive as the CIA.
This time (Mar. 20, 2015) they took down my Historyscoper's Hillary Watch Blog, this time with
a notice that it violates "Blogger's Terms of Service", with an automatic reply form to request
a manual review, which is still pending, threatening to take it down permanently in 20 days.
What are their standards? This is a political blog filled with links to articles and op-eds on
Hillary Clinton, some of them satires, so to shut it down is a political act, really a political
crime. Did Hillary personally have anything to do with this? Did they take orders from her
to silence criticism? I don't know, since they offer no explanation of their actions. Let's
say it was a particular post, or a particular image. Why don't they just take that post or image
down, not the whole blog? What blatant abuse. I built the blog up post by post and image by image,
and each time their software accepted it. Why this total shutdown ex-post facto? Let's say
it was an image. How self-contradictory when I probably got it from their search engine in
the first place, and if the government tried to shut down their whole site for one image they'd
be the ones crying bloody murder instead of me. The takedown notice stays that the blog "is
currently visible to authors only", which is a lie, because I'm locked out of the authors menu
for it, and can't even download its contents to use with another service. In short, the Google
outfit is out of control and not to be trusted ever again, and any alternative that comes along
that takes away their business should be welcomed with open arms. In the meantime, I intend to
do all I can to expose them and steer business elsewhere.
Yes Google is getting more and more corrupt and untrustworthy. I don't recommend anybody use its
Blogspot service without planning on having a backup in case they come down on you in their
abusive inept fashion.
