Speak No Evil

Google recently informed CNET that it would not speak to any of its reporters for an entire year.

And why?

Because CNET dared write a story about the privacy dangers of Google's search engine.

Folly is quite pleased to see Google following in the footsteps of their patrons behind the Great Wall. The dissemination of news must be controlled, and those who deviate from the Party line must be punished.

A great leap forward for Google, indeed.
