Experiment: There may be confidential content in your search results. Please do not share outside Google. – Missing Q and A’s?
as a follow up to the recent “Experiment: There may be confidential content in your search results. Please do not share outside Google.” incident which I blogged about here, I searched for more info using Google. Found a few odd little things…
Some* questions about it on Yahoo have been removed.
I wonder which part of their Community Guidelines forbid discussing GoogleBugs?
Perhaps stranger still, looks like some user replies have been deleted and some redirects have been made too.
A little later in this thread, some one named epontius said that other threads had been redirected to this single thread because “This one is being monitored by staff… so the other threads concerning this issue have been redirected to this one to keep things in one place.”
Given that Google recently proclaimed search results should be impartial (and so should not (necessarily) be included in the “right to be forgotten” protection), I really trust that they wouldn’t mess about with links and users questions for something so trivial as a technical hiccup….
jus’sayin…
* (one or more, hard to tell: several links in search results but all leading one URL)
