Google Censorship
Last week we put some ads on Google AdWords for our independent documentary "XXI CENTURY". Please, visit our website http://thecatsdream.com .
Since it's hard to find a distributor for this work, we thought to start distributing it by ourselves through internet. After less than 48 hours, Google deleted our ads and our account with them, because they were considered "UNACCEPTABLE". In our ads one could read "American Voices Against Bush". This is considered "UNACCEPTABLE" by Google. Also, they said that keywords such as "Peace", "Human Rights", "Anti War", and so on are "UNACCEPTABLE"by Google standards. We think we are not the only ones who have experienced this kind of censorship and would like to have contacts with other people in the same situation. Thank you.
