Google Adds Explaination to "Jew" Search

This just in from :: jewschool :::

When searching for the word "Jew" on Google, you might now notice a note up top which reads, "Offensive Search Results [...] We're disturbed about these results as well. Please read our note here."
In the note, the company explains, "Our search results are generated
completely objectively and are independent of the beliefs and
preferences of those who work at Google."


Apparently, The ADL has also issued a statement on the subject.


Wow...
Talk about making a dent. I'm curious as to why the Wikipedia article
has dropped down to the third link, however. Are we being punished
for—ahem—"abusing the algorithm" and drawing Google such bad heat? If
so, oh the hypocrisy!


For those that don't remember JewSchooler mobius organised a "Google-Bomb" to combat the disturbing Google results.
