A Hat Tip to Pajamas; Gutless Google
Earlier this week, shortly after the Pajamas Media strips were installed here, I found one of them filled with Google AdSense listings.
I made my concerns about directly supporting Internet Wall of Shame member Google known to PJM Tech Support. Within a couple of hours, I received an e-mail stating that they would no longer run AdSense ads on BizzyBlog.
Kudos to PJM; they certainly didn’t have to do that.
As to Google, anyone with a shred of decency should be appalled by this (fourth paragraph):
In the last year — behind the scenes — we’ve managed to shut down a number of her sites, though we’ve been unable to convince Blogger (Google owned) to take away …. (her) ….. account; meaning that, as one blog comes down, she puts a new one up — and invariably violates the terms of the restraining order we have against her, as well as the preliminary injunction issued by the Colorado court.
That’s right — despite a bench warrant and a court-issued restraining order/injunction, Google’s blog platform allows a known Internet stalker to continue to post away (examples have been collected here by those trying to stop her) with only minor inconvenience to her.
Jeff Goldstein, the target, who has been put through hell for a year and has decided to suspend operations to defend himself, says it well (Comment 88):
But you know the Blogger Team — it’s all about free speech. Unless we’re talking about China. In which case it’s all about the yuan.
Don’t worry, Jeff. I’m sure the ACLU will be calling any time now to lend a helping hand (/sarcasm).
Hi! :) Just a small clarification. Your link for “to post away” gives the impression that the Deb Frisch Database is one of debbie’s sites.
It’s not.
The mission of the Deb Frisch Database is to make sure that the full story of Ms. Frisch’s perfidy is available to the public. (Screencaps of deb’s actual sites are vetted to make sure that names/photos/identifying info of libeled parties are “redacted” prior to posting them on the database. All we present is deb’s insanity, with due deference to her victims.)
Oh…and if you ever want to check out a site where the “Deb Response Team” hangs out, just go on over to

No, that “teh” isn’t a typo; it’s an inside joke at debbie’s expense. Ask “teh gerbils” to explain it.

Thank you for that, and for your assistance to JG-PW. I changed the text to make it clearer.
