google flirts with the dark side

this finally got my attention today, and i don’t really have a lot to add, except my personal disappointment if this doesn’t “self correct” in short order.

some relevant stories at: the register, boingboing, kottke.org

i am personally familiar with lawyers treading into the realm of evil with “best intentions,” and despite the principles of the organizations they are hired to represent. i also have some experience from the other side of the table at google (the adwords program) and arbitrary decisions (they wouldn’t let me pick on john ashcroft by name, even though ashcroft represents a certain political reality here in the united states, and not just a person).

i do hope this is an anomaly. sergey, you’ve let your baby get just a little bit evil.
