I have been following the case closely; the issues intrigued me as a large advocate for free speech and privacy.

A Google Fan, but since the IPO, the company seems to have been moving to the Dark Side.

The Big Jet, Gmail Scanning of Personal Mail, keeping records of searches for 35 years, Matt Cutts and the NSA, all of it started to smell, Click Fraud took the cake- come on if I took a pizza from Dino's I would be in the slammer- this was millions of buckeroos.

The constant complaints for website been trashed by Google for no apparent reason.

So I followed the KinderStart Case, what was odd was the hate directed towards this site, the line from Jonathan Swift came to mind, something about, " You can tell a Genius has arisen when the world is aligned against him like a confederacy of dunces."

So, I started to wonder, could these guys be on to something-
Then I read, " Is Google Evil?" google the article it is on Mother Jones online. And things started coming together-these guys are bad boys.. Just type " Is Google Evil?" in Google and read the article in Mother Jones.

I checked out KinderStart, and it was a simple search engine for parents, nothing offensive there. Why was it trashed to zero only on Google, not Yahoo, it had lots of inbound links.

Was it taken down in an upgrade? Something is confusing.

So I watched the case, here are a couple of key points not made above.

As a matter of clarification in review of the case.

1. The judge did not publish the result- in bold on the ruling
(NOT FOR CITATION) now why would that be.... hum?

2. Google wanted legal fees from KinderStart and filed Anti-Slapp- they Judge denied it

3. Sanctions were not against a KinderStart's Attorney, not the KinderStart.

Google has an attorney Richard Kramer-he made one comment in the oral arguments that was hard to believe, that " KinderStart was rife with porn."

Is that why they were banned? They are a porn site?

I checked out KinderStart- could find no porn at all - and no porn adverts, but Google has alot. I dare say they are the largest collection of porn in the history of mankind, and likely make a good share of their profit from porn ads- they should ban themselves, if having porn is the standard, but again I could find nothing near porn on KinderStart, but a shit load on Google.

This does not make sense.

But whatever you can say about KinderStart, it is not a porn site, and what kind of "Don't Be Evil" Guys would say that.

Another interesting tidbit is that Eric Goldman (The Lawyer who is always commenting for Google) works for the High Tech Law Institute at University of Santa Clara, funded in a large part by Googles Law Firm, the famous/infamous in recent days
Wilson Sonnni, oh yea, the home of Richard Kramer, Googles lead lawyer in this case.

Now, Kramer has even quoted Goldman, in the case-

hum.. Any connection there, lets see the Judge went to Stanford,
the Google Boys went to Stanford, Stanford owns part of the Google Code- The President of Stanford just got 11Million for Google stock, he has more too:)

I wonder if KinderStart will keep going and appeal, I hope they do and they can start by as deep throat of WaterGate Fame, " Follow the Money."
