Google Caught In Terror Storm Censorship
Viewing totals reset despite runaway popularity of Alex Jones video

Google is again embroiled in a censorship farce after its Google Video sub-division was caught altering viewing statistics for Alex Jones' Terror Storm documentary, resetting runaway growth curbs to prevent the video making the website's top ten and its online viewership exploding exponentially.

Following last week's buzz about Terror Storm being available for viewing free on Google Video, numerous websites linked to our promo page and as a result viewing figures for all versions of Terror Storm at Google Video began to climb rapidly.

However, upon checking the same viewer figures on Sunday, Alex Jones noticed that many had been reset to zero and had only begun to climb into the hundreds and early thousands, nowhere near their previous levels of tens and hundreds of thousands for the previous days. The trends had been artificially reversed and this prevented Terror Storm from entering the top ten list of Google Video which would have ensured an explosion of further circulation of the video.

This did actually happen several times to LC2 - it was mentioned on this board too...

When you see TerrorStorm in the top ten list of the other google video links on offer it does stand out somewhat.

We'll know when humanities collective consciousness has shifted when 'granny falls off skateboard' or 'my dog dressed in mini-skirt' get replaced by media and information that is actually useful, cutting edge and mroe to the point interesting.
