Hi Hans,

much of its content.

> Google Will Eat Itself ( http://www.gwei.org ) announced that is now
> fully censored on all Google Search-Indexes worldwide. What a scandal!
>
> The idea behind GWEI is simple:
>
> Google Will Eat Itself generates money by serving Google text
> advertisments on a network of hidden Websites. With this money GWEI
> automatically buy Google shares. GWEI buys Google via their own
> advertisment. Google eats itself - but in the end “we” own it. By
> establishing this autocannibalistic model we deconstruct the new
> global advertisment mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal click-
> based economic model. After this process GWEI hands over the common
> ownership of “our” Google Shares to the GTTP Ltd. [Google To The
> People Public Company] which distributes them back to the users
> (clickers) / public.
>
> Let’s break the silence and put a link to this project on our sites
> and blogs: http://www.gwei.org. Give Google back to people! GWEI is
> an interesting case how to imagine a new global public sphere. How to
> reverse privatization and rethink a truely public Internet without
> the Googles and Yahoos.
