[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3149314, member: 56035"] Since then, thirteen leading left-wing web sites have had their search traffic from Google collapse by 55 percent, with the [I]World Socialist Web Site[/I] having had its search traffic plunge by 74 percent. “Just speaking as a journalist, it’s terrifying,” Hedges said. “Those people who still try and do journalism, they’re the ones getting hit; especially those journalists that attempt to grapple with issues of power and the corporate state. “This shows not only how bankrupt the state is, but how frightened it is,” Hedges said. “Google is developing ever more intensive methods of targeting, aimed at blocking any dissenting critical voices,” said David North, the chairperson of the International Editorial Board of the [I]World Socialist Web Site[/I]. [B]“This is an unprecedented attack on free speech. In the history of the United States, censorship on this scale has never been imposed outside of wartime,[/B]” he added, pointing to the blocking of Trotskyist publications during World War II.
