The paste claims that google had been losing money from AdSense, so to compensate they would ban AdSense Publishers before their paycheck.

Think this will go anywhere?

I wonder if he's just angry for getting let go/fired? Are you sure this isn't fanfic? Either way, we can expect an official statement from Google.

mabey...

Mabey he's angry, mabey it's true... I guess we should wait and see if any witnesses stick their necks out. I read most of it. If what he says is true, then it would be dangerous for anyone to speak out. Of course... if it's not true.... who knows anymore...

I tend to think a cynical approach is best when talking about things like this: where money and power can easily corrupt people.

Anything can corrupt someone.

As far as the topic though, I don't really think it's true. Even if it is why would he put it on pastebin?

@giblit:

People put all kinds of stuff on pastebin.

Are you saying thay you think pastebin is the only place he put this up?

People always tell me not to believe everything I read on the internet. But with pastebin.. I know that it must be the truth. There's no way someone could just type up something totally made up and put it on pastebin..... I mean it's not like that is exactly what pastebin is designed and used for.

Ah, Disch does have a point. I've never seen someone post something random on patebin, and I'm surprised it's even within their ToS. This person must have been desparate, only with access to the pastebin Public API via a ComputerCraft computer in Minecraft FTB.

My post was sarcastic.

Literally anyone with internet access can post whatever they want on pastebin, so the contents have literally 0 credibility.

Aww, mine was too. I was hoping we could continue a sarcasm train........on the internet....hm, I guess I didn't think that through.

lol, I'm not saying I believed him. I am saying that there is a possibility it's true.

I wouldn't put it past a an organization as powerful a google to do somthing like that. Typically if a company (or person) thinks they can get away with somthing, they will try to get away with it. Just food for thought... and somthing to take into consideration should anything else be heard about google.
