Pathway Family Center Abusing Google's Spam Report Feature?
« on: December 15, 2008, 01:44:20 PM »
The other day on google there were two sites on the first page.  The first was was Deprogrammed's Pathway Family Centers Exposed.  The second one was WDTony's Pathway Family Center Truth.  Today, at least on Google's servers in france, both results are gone.  Considering this is what happened to sueschefftruth once upon a time, the fact that search results don't just "disappear", and the timing (both sites disappearing within a few days), I can only suspect that Pathway Family Centers has falsely reported both sites as spam.

I have emailed both DP and WDTony suggestions on how to handle this.

To PFC:

This type of behavior is indicative and typical of cults who cannot handle the public making up their own minds and seek to restrict free speech and the commerce of ideas (and through that, thought).  Shame on you.  Try as you might, you will not succeed in suppressing these sites (or the truth) for long.

If PFC abused the spam report feature in this matter, PFC is guilty of racketeering. End of story.

Incidentally, pfctruth.com is back on Google already, so PFC's apparent efforts haven't seemed to work too well.

Good.  It Tony will be happy to hear that.  It should be back on Google's french servers in a day or so.

:spam:  :soapbox:  :soapbox:  :soapbox:  :soapbox:  :soapbox:

pfctruth's erroneous and deceptive reporting of emotionally charged opinions won't hold up in court. :spam:

At least the ' pfcexposed'... is more along the lines of its content.

I don't even want to hear it.   ::)  :lala:  :lala:  :lala:  :lala:  :lala:  :lala:  :lala:

Well, after 3 or 4 days of being eliminated by Google and most search engines, the pfc-truth site is back up in the searches again. Hopefully the pfc-exposed site will be making a comeback soon too.

A big "Thanks" to Psy for all the help.

I wonder if PFC is paying the search word fee? You bid on google "AdWords" (http://tinyurl.com/5plzag) that might get you higher rank. It is a very low cost program in the beginning....
