- sporg, on 03/07/2008, -3/+6Im more interested in why Google often labels websites that provide pdf copies of Army Regulation 210-35 Civilian inmate labour program and the DHS Endgame program as "Possibly harmful to your computer". Clearly the warning they meant to put was " The US government and the DHS would prefer if you did not read these".
Us honest folks here at DHS recommended that they remove the links and replace them with britney spears stories but this is all we could get: http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http://goth ...- sexybobo, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1My guess would be they had an ad on their blog that was ether linking to malware or trying to infect viewers machines. Google flagged it as such and is waiting for the webmaster to remove the offending ads and contact them for a reevaluation of the website.
Or it is a horrible government conspiracy.

- acitcratnA, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Be careful there, Kelly might remove Digg from the Internets.

- 4d669, on 03/07/2008, -4/+1Digg users and the only people on the internet ignorant enough to call them 'lolcats'. And to think that most of them are closet /b/tards...
- Audacitor, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1I wonder if the Internets could remove CompaintRemover?

You're doing it wrong.- badjoke, on 03/07/2008, -6/+4Doing it right would be not talking like a retard in the first place.
- SoupsMan, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1I was wondering how it could only be Fark alone that took it down. But I guess I forgot alot of Diggers are Farkers, and vise versa. It was fun screwing with them. Censorship isn't kool kiddies.

I'm not saying its good, i find it rather retarded, but its not the government doing this - sgtpppr, on 03/07/2008, -3/+5It's free market capitalism. If someone somewhere is willing to pay for a service, then that service will be available.

Go ahead and promote your business. But when you start sabotaging the results of someone else's, you've crossed the line. But that *IS* the American capitalist way.- bjornski, on 03/08/2008, -1/+1Oooh, being dugg down by people who apparently think it's just fine to sabotage your competition to make a buck.

- Augie1969, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4Wild. I just looked at this thread, and one of the Farkers posted this from the company in question :
(Unconfirmed, but freaky, if true)
How they "get links removed": sending death threats to website owners.
xcerpts from what Wake ruled was an illegally threatening e-mail message from Stanley in February 2007:
This letter is being sent to you in the name of more than 500 businesses. No matter where you go, we will cause you a problem. Your life is in danger until you comply with our demands. This is your last warning.
Your neighbors already know about your criminal dealings and how you are making many people loose (sic) their business. You will soon be beaten to a pulp and pounced into the ground six feet under with a baseball bat and sleg (sic) hammer. You will soon be sorry not just from what I am capable of doing to you, but what other members will do as soon as they know exactly where you are. Its (sic) just a matter of time until I get to you.
Here is what you can do to save your life. But you must act imidiatly (sic). Make what ever deal it takes, you must comply.
You have the previous list of companies that you need to remove from Rip-off Report. We know you hold the power. We know you have that list.
You were provided an additional list several hours ago. It's too late for anything that we discussed today. No more deal. No more playing Mr. Nice Guy. Now you must delete any of our members from your data base who have reports listed on any search engine.
If not, BVA will drop you with in 24 hours. We will make thier (sic) life misrable (sic) like we have with Prolexic and gigenet. They don't like you either. We now know who your host is and the IP address to your servers.
Those you do business with will be in danger and will be continusily (sic) be harassed till they stop doing business with you. We are contacting your advertisers.
We will continue to spam you making it impossible for you to read your mail.
Excerpts from a second threatening message sent the same day:
We warned you ed magedson. Did you hear the gun shots last night? Because of you innocent people will die. Your tenants, family members and those that work with you. Think we're joking? I told you that your site will be down and it is. That is all we want and we will not hurt anyone.
If ripoff report moves again to new hosting facilities you will not like what we will do next. Your home will burn. Those around you will burn. Do not expect any help from the police.
Once you have completed with our first list we demand you remove we will give you another list on Saturday and every Saturday from this day forward and you will have 6 hours to do the same from the time we give you that list on each and every Saturday. If the Links work after the 6 there will be a man hunt for you.
We know where you shop. We know where you bank. Greenfield and Broadway, Greenfield and Main. Are we getting closer ED? What about Basha's at Higley and Brown?
God. This is like 2 miles from where I am right now in Mesa, AZ.- bjornski, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2So they ARE $cientologists!

Inquiring minds want to know.- vholifield, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2Heh, Google Bidzirk, you'll find him. Apparently the complaint "remover" was not successful!
