The things that google tries to block...

September 22, 2013 4:03:59 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Here is one such website:

https://www.fluoridealert.org/news/new-hampshire-bill-targets-contaminated-drinking-water-additives/

Why are they blocking this website?

-1 reputation for Google via an arbitrary rating system.

Post any others that you find odd, perhaps we can find fun patterns

lol

how does it fit in your conspiracy theory that "they" also "block" https://www.whitehouse.gov/ for example?

 

 

 

 

(answer is simple: both sites do not support https or have an invalid ssl certificate)

Hmm to say that a theory is formed is to assume that theories arise from nothing, yet here is an obvious query to get data, while admitting ignorance(to which you provide a laughable, childish response).  To say that it is a conspiracy is laughable, because obviously if you had the control that Google has "earned" in the market they will exercise that control to the fullest for their own reasons...  That is why people want to be rich and famous isn't it? lol

Exercising any power can be considered a conspiracy, and there happens to be a lot of powers in the world.  To say that conspiracies don't exist is to put yourself at the pinnacle of ignorance.

(answer is simple: both sites do not support https or have an invalid ssl certificate)

That is one answer.

Yeah, invalid certificate definitely gets your ass bumped on google, and for good cause.  Only trust an invalid certificate from something you know, like your own damned computer.

Exactly, even if it weren't inhabited by commies, it's a govt website and their security blows it out the ass...

If only due to the burgeoning prevalence of paranoia.

This I got once using FF. Wanted to tell me that WC was impersonating itself and I shouldn't go there. Problem was I was already here at the time. So because I was already here there was no need to go there. That'll learn 'em.

The world is full of trickery and everyone must be on their guard, it's not paranoia, its prudence.  After all we live in a world with finite resources based upon our current public 1930's understanding of physics.

Yet, DrJBHL, if you didn't believe in conspiracies, why the consistent "us(normal users) vs them(big government)" attitude that permeates most of your posts(i'm talking about the trend of the types of posts you make, along with the posts themselves)?  Aren't you mistrusting of government involvement in the technological sector? In the games sector?

Why is this?

Is it because the government might be using subversive tactics under the guise of legality to infringe upon our rights in other areas?

One could say that is a conspiracy theory veiled behind credentials and "fancy" words.

I mean... really, you should join with me luke, together we could rule the universe.

Btw, Thanks FF
