Google Pulls Ads from Juicy Campus Gossip Site
Anyone who's anyone knows that JuicyCampus.com is the anonymous college gossip site that has allegedly been ruining lives coast to coast. Student governments have tried to ban it (Pepperdine and Texas Christian University, to name a few), and sororities, newspaper columnists, and university administrators have called it "repulsive" and "classless," as well as the "pinnacle of depravity."
Yet while fiery rhetoric may only be helping JuicyCampus attract visitors, Google, which removed its ads from the site, may actually hurt it. TCU's Daily Skiff reports the search giant pulled its ads "because the Web site violated Google's terms of use." No word yet on what that specifically means, but coeds around the nation who have been JuicyCampus targets are clearly rejoicing.

Good site
This interesting..
GossipReport.com
Ashley Murphy is no longer affilated with GossipReport.com in any way.
JuicyCampus and GossipReport equally harmful
The creators and promoters of the "gossip report" website are completely wrong. Their website should be held accountable because of its recklessly poor monitoring practices. First, anyone can place personally identifying information such as pictures, videos and last names on the website without that person's consent. Second, anyone can post any information about that person anonymously. Third, staff members of the website have repeatedly claimed that they will not remove information that are lies and/or hurtful to people. At the very least, there is no reasonable for the staff members to verify all the posts that are lies and/or hurtful. Fourth, there is evidence that students at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in Washington are being targeted with vicious, graphic postings that are not being removed from the website by the staff. Fifth, there is a pattern of conduct by the staff members that indicate they are reveling free publicity from the outrage over what is happening to innocent minors. These staff members include Elizabeth (hmm…) Bloch, Ashley Murphy, and "investor" David Chase who runs a criminal background organization called "Castle Branch" out of North Carolina.
All of this leads to the conclusion that the operators of this website do not want to reasonably safeguard innocent minors from harm. See the following article:

Without immediate changes in the way this website operates, there should be immediate legal action against the site, laws that prevent similar sites from being established so recklessly in the future, and boycotts of everything their creators do to earn a financial living related to this site.
Thanks for listening!
