Google Kills Facebook Code Leak Blog

I told you Sunday about the creation of a blog called Facebook Secrets with a single post: Facebook source code that Facebook representatives claim is not a security breech. Now it appears that Google has KILLED THE BLOG, citing copyright infringement. Meanwhile, numerous Google-hosted sites advocating global terrorism, murder and the killing of American soldiers have not been shut down by Google. I guess terrorism is OK, but copyright infringement cannot be tolerated.

I am by no means supporting terrorism, but Google could shut down the Facebook sourcecode thing because it was a Blogger blog, and Blogger is owned by Google. I'm not certain, but I'd be willing to bet that the terrorist blogs of which you speak are not actually hosted by Google the way that this Facebook sourcecode one was.

This one is hosted by Google in *exactly* the same way the Facebook Sourcecode blog was hosted.

"A blog dedicated to the legacy of the former leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi, which includes Al-Zarqawi messages and videos."

Al Zarqawi was the guy who beheaded an American and many Iraqis on video.

He's the guy who killed Laurence Foley, a U.S. diplomat working for the U.S. Agency for International Development in Jordan.

His list of crimes goes on and on. The web site hosted by Google glorifies him, and calls on young Muslims to follow his example.
