Topic: Rick Santorum demands Google take down results for "Santorum", gets owned

Image went missingRick Santorum contacted Google, says company spreads 'filth'

A Google search for Santorum has generated some inappropriate results since gay columnist Dan Savage organized an online campaign to link graphic sexual terms to the socially conservative senator’s name.

Now, the Republican presidential candidate says he’s convinced Google could do something to remedy the issue, if the company wanted to.

“I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they’d get rid of it,” Santorum said. “If you're a responsible business, you don't let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country.”

He continued: “To have a business allow that type of filth to be purveyed through their website or through their system is something that they say they can't handle but I suspect that's not true.”

Santorum has acknowledged his widely covered “Google problem” in the past, but his contact with the company is a newer development.

UPDATE: A Google spokesperson responded to Santorum by advising that users who want "content removed from the Internet should contact the webmaster of the page directly."

> And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery.

Yes, Rick. We do have the right. You mad?

What an idiot. Everytime he mentions it, more people will google it and click the links making them rank higher (that's how it works, right?)

I thought it was just the amount of links to that site. But you're still right about the the effect: news sites and blogs will cover the story and include links to the site, making it rank higher.

I really liked that this was done. Santorum's Anti views were disgusting (he compared homosexuality and pedophilia to bestiality!). It was nice seeing everyone take a stand against anti's everywhere.

Maybe to4str can get in contact with Mr. Santorum so they can both fake DMCA Google for libel and deformation of character.
