Google Relists Operation Clambake

DarkZero writes: "After almost every tech site and individual geek banded together to either carry the story about Google's delisting of Operation Clambake or flat-out protest it, Google has apparently relisted Xenu.net. Searches for 'xenu' and 'scientology' list Operation Clambake as the first and fourth results, respectively. The search for "scientology" also lists a story from C|Net about Google delisting Operation Clambake, as well as a protest ad from a Kuro5hin reader (oc3)." Update: 03/22 12:52 GMT by M : We jumped the gun. Google only relisted Xenu.net's homepage (where the copyright claims by Scientology were clearly bogus), not the rest of the pages listed in Scientology's DMCA complaint. Some Google sysadmin is getting aggravated because every 20 minutes, another memo from management is coming down telling him to alter the live database.

    In case you didn't notice, this isn't a damn UBB forum.

    Check out what this guy says.

    as a protestant german theologan, among other things he notes that much of the opposition to scientology in germany is because it is american, not for other reason.

    He's an academic studying religions. even tho he dislike scientology, the absence of info gives the resources he can find in germany a strange flavor. doesn't help the objective study.

    Facinating, I was just moderated "overrated" on a post that had not been rated!

    How many moderator points do Scientologists' have anyway?

    The system goes on-line on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic searching. Google begins to learn, at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 am, eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

    Google fights back.

    ok dont be a karma whore and rip off other's work... this is a good example of when someone trolls for +5 posts and copy/paste their way to karma... just dont... this was posted by ---Phosphor3k--- ok so give the credit where it is due...
