| Google Folds, Restores Accounts Of Banned Statistics Professor |
| 2017-08-23 |
| [ZeroHedge] Yesterday we reported that in a shocking, and explained move, statistics professor Salil Mehta, adjunct professor at Columbia and Georgetown who teaches probability and data science and whose work has appeared on this website on numerous prior occasions, had been banned by Google on Friday, with his email, blog and other Google-linked accounts wiped clean and no longer accessible. That changed yesterday, because after our article detailing Salil's plight went viral, and was read 300,000 times, Google responded and as of this morning, has restored all of Salil Metha's accounts. |

| #6 Random guess: a web crawler or other algorithm found verboten ideas and a similar name to Salil Mehta, so no soup for you! |
