Google Punishes Self for Cloaking

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the slap-their-own-wrists dept.

amyrick writes "eWeek is carrying a story about Google's response to March 8th's cloaking accusations. Rather than justify the shady practices as some exception to their rules, Google removed the pages from their indices, and are requiring the pages' maintainers to revise the pages and reapply for indexing. Though the existence of the cloaked pages at all is somewhat questionable, at least Google has responded with integrity and consistency."

    So, you CAN call the Bush Administration a Regime, as it fits not one but two of these definitions. It says nothing about being a good or evil regime, you'll note.
