I’m going to make this very clear from the outset: Google has every right to refuse to crawl/link to my content. It’s their choice as a company to decide what content is acceptable.

Google has decided that certain content is not appropriate for the masses.

That said, I do believe a government database should also exist that mirrors the functionality of Google, but by law is required to accept data from any US source. It should be searchable by citizens and should not be censored. In the very least, it’s likely the opposing databases would cover the gaps and produce a whole subset of internet search results.

By now, you’ve likely heard how Peter Thiel parlayed a $500,000 investment in Facebook to a stake now worth $750 million. There’s been a crush of coverage on his $220 million Founders Fund, which may well change the way entrepreneurs get paid in the Valley. We know about his mansion (he rents it — clever!), his butler, his early-morning jogs. But what no one ever says out loud: Thiel is gay.
