Well, I don't believe that any of the alleged censorship has been demonstrated by the evidence I've seen presented.

Saying that the search term "climategate" produces more results on one search engine than another doesn't really tell me anything, unless you can point to a specific website that Google's search results are ignoring. The difference could be a matter of superior de-duplication by Google. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to check the eight million links that Google provides for that search, and then to compare those results to the ones from Bing or Yahoo.

Coming up with a specific, oddly constructed search that doesn't yield the exact set of suggestions you expect is likewise a bogus approach to proving Google is engaging in censorship.
