Google kill entrepreneurs without a fair trial

I am upset about the fact that Google is now so powerful so they can kill entrepreneurs without any kind of trial or hearing.

A great Swedish internet entrepreneur, Mr. Ted Valentin, found himself to be left in the cold when Google without any reason just took his websites away from their search engine. He lost 80% of his traffic thanks to this. Read the article here.

Now Google publicly admits that they made a mistake and he is now after two long and harmful weeks back in the search listings!

But this much bigger than this! It makes me wonder how much power Google has? Google is now so powerful so perhaps there should be a formal and easy [read 'afforable for SMEs'] way to appeal against actions that Google take. In the meantime when an appeal is pending they should postpone actions like taking somebody away from the search engine. And if they take someone away for competitive reasons, then Google should be punished to the letter of the law!

Now, this is really something for the EU Commission and the US Department of Justice to investigate!

Well - this blog post might put me on the black list so the risk is obvious that you never are able to read this! :-)
