(Google Inc.)Before the end of 2011, we announced our plans to relaunch our new website. It was initially slated for the 1st of January and much of the preparations went as we had expected. In fact, the final design pallet was already decided upon and ready for launch. Then, something happened that required us to take a long pause. When we attempted to reconfigure the new web address, we were not able to do so. They say, intuition is sometimes the best guide. There was something that held us back that was difficult to understand and even harder to ignore. They say that people make decisions based on emotions and justify it with logic. The logic was definitely there. In the many years that we have been using this platform there were just as many, if not more, instances that made us believe that our blog was either being hacked or tampered with. In either case, we felt that the platform is not robust enough for our application.
In particular, there was the time when we participated in Blogger’s AdSense Program - a way in which account holders can earn money by hosting advertisements on their site. In a matter of weeks our AdSense account was suspended for supposed policy violations. We appealed the decision but was denied. During the entire process, no satisfactory explanation was provided to inform us of the reasons of the suspension. We had no clear understanding of what the violations were nor did we have a fair opportunity to take corrective measures. The only interaction we had with the staff of Google was through email, which in the end failed to satisfy our inquiries.
Given the issues that we write about, our site may have been the subject to either misconduct or tampering by readers or purported readers. Although, admittedly, we are not sure how that could have been achieved. We can say, however, that we are of the knowledge that very powerful establishments are keen on having us abandon our mission of “whistle-blowing.”
So, it was decided that we should search for another platform for our site to meet our future needs, including a way in which we could generate income. With that said, we will keep you informed on the developments as it occurs. Until such time, our ROBERTS|JUSTICE Blog will be found at the same address. In the meantime, here is a screen shot of that new version, which we hope to launch very soon.
