Call for Support: Link to Google Will Eat Itself

Google Will Eat Itself ( http://www.gwei.org ) announced that their
domain gwei.org 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.
Thanks for your support!
