Dear Karen,

Today the World Socialist Web Site published an open letter<http://socialequality.us10.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=380cabff931cd452085b8d4a5&id=fa5cea8a05&e=2cb7388bc9> from WSWS Chairperson David North to Google demanding that it stop censoring the Internet and stop blacklisting the WSWS. The letter states:

Google is manipulating its Internet searches to restrict public awareness of and access to socialist, anti-war and left-wing websites. The World Socialist Web Site (www.wsws.org<http://www.wsws.org/>) has been massively targeted and is the most affected by your censorship protocols. Referrals to the WSWS from Google have fallen by nearly 70 percent since April of this year.

Censorship on this scale is political blacklisting. The obvious intent of Google’s censorship algorithm is to block news that your company does not want reported and to suppress opinions with which you do not agree. Political blacklisting is not a legitimate exercise of whatever may be Google’s prerogatives as a commercial enterprise. It is a gross abuse of monopolistic power. What you are doing is an attack on freedom of speech.

Please share this letter as widely as possible on Facebook<http://socialequality.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=380cabff931cd452085b8d4a5&id=a10f90df50&e=2cb7388bc9>, Twitter <http://socialequality.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=380cabff931cd452085b8d4a5&id=332d541554&e=2cb7388bc9> and other social media. We need your support to get the word out and expand the fight against Internet censorship.

Sincerely,
The World Socialist Web Site
