Technical problems or hackers attack?
Politics and Society, Uzbekistan8 Comments
Information Agency Fergana.Ru is known for its timely and objectively given information about Central Asian countries. Its council of experts includes famous historians, journalists and political analysts from different countries of CIS. The information that Fergana.ru gives is very often used as a credible source in many academic writings. Therefore, it has a big audience both in Central Asia and aboard. As it gives true and objective information, which sometimes reveals the real face of Central Asian ruling elites, some of Central Asian countries, like Uzbekistan, do not tolerate this and block Fergana.ru web site in their territory.
Today, I was looking for some info in internet and Google gave me several links and some of them were links to Fergana.ru’s web site. Before Google was in “good terms� with Fergana.ru and one could open its pages via Search Engine without any problems. However, today Google says that Fergana.ru may harm the computer of a person, who wants to open its pages.

It is really strange. What do you think: problems with Fergana.ru’s HTML code or hackers, who attached a bad code to its HTML?

Or maybe its been sensored by Google itself?

I can’t imagine that Google would censor Fergana.ru for its content. If someone had illegally or mistakenly posted something harmful, then Google’s algorithms would surely pick that up and censor it.
I’m sure that if someone lets Fergana.ru know, they’ll look into themselves. Google workers are certainly not aware of 10% of what their algorithms accomplish, considering the sheer vastness of the internet that they are indexing.

Google has no part in this beying disocvering that that the site has been hacked. Whoever is responsible for hosting this site should follow Google’s instructions to clean it up and remove the warning, available at: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=45432
