On the 12 July 2016 you removed my blog, www.shadowsussexpolicecrimecommissioner.blogspot.co.uk from
the internet, citing HARASSMENT as the reason for doing so.
I am unable to contact you directly
concerning this matter because I can't find an email in which I can
contact you. I have decided to make this appeal public because I know
representatives from Google regularly monitor my blogs and trust
that this appeal reaches the appropriate person(s) and department.

My blog has been active since 2012, in
which I've written hundreds of articles about Sussex Police and the
Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne, of which the blog
was created to hold to account, adding an extra layer of public
scrutiny and accountability. I am immensely proud of the work and
effort I've put into this blog since 2012, and believe I am doing a
worth-while job which is in the public interest.
Once I discovered you had removed my
blog I appealed your decision and on the 22 July received the
reply as below:
"Hello, We have received your
appeal regarding your
blog http://shadowsussexpolicecrimecommissioner.blogspot.com/.
Upon further review, we have determined that your blog was mistakenly
marked as a TOS violator by our automated system and, as such, we
have reinstated your blog. We apologise for any inconvenience this
may have caused in the meantime and thank you for your patience as we
completed our review process. Thank you for understanding. Your
sincerely, The Blogger Team"
But within moments, another message was
delivered contrary to the above:
"Hello, Your blog
at http://shadowsussexpolicecrimecommissioner.blogspot.com/ has
been reviewed and confirmed as in violation of our Terms of Service
for: HARASSMENT. In accordance to these terms, we've removed the blog
and the URL is no longer accessible. For more information, please
review the following resources: Terms of

Team"
At no point has anyone in Google's
Blogger Team informed me of who or whom I have alleged to have
HARASSED...

I assume this because following a
Freedom of Information request to the OSPCC about certain Youtube
videos being removed from public view, it was revealed that Mark
Streater was the person who made the complaint.
Through the lack of information from
The Google Blogger Team, I am left to assume the allegation of
HARASSMENT was made based on the many articles in which I call Katy
Bourne a liar.
Calling Katy Bourne a liar is not
HARASSMENT; its the truth and in the public interest to do so.
Katy Bourne has provably been caught
out lying during the 2016 PCC elections about her expenses claims,
and this has been vindicated and confirmed by both Sussex Police
and the Crime Panel, by referring my complaint against her to the
Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) for further
investigation.
The following article, (which I would
have published on BlogSpot, but am now forced to publish on your
rival's blog place,) confirms what I've written above.
News-Flash Katy Bourne SPCC in serious
trouble with the IPCC
https://gettingreadyfor2015.wordpress.com/2016/08/10/newsflash-katy-bourne-spcc-in-serious-trouble/
Calling Katy Bourne a liar is not
HARASSMENT, as confirmed by Sussex Police and the Sussex Crime Panel
(set up to hold Katy Bourne to account).
By law the exceptions of HARASSMENT are
three-fold:
1; Honest opinion.
2; The truth.
3, A matter of public interest.
I have proved to the satisfaction of
Sussex Police and the Sussex Crime Panel that I am exempt from
any defamation and harassment laws, because I meet all three
exceptions of the defamation and harassment Laws.
Whoever complained to you citing
HARASSMENT did so to cover-up the FACT that Katy Bourne lied during
the PCC elections about her expenses. In theory Google could be
prosecuted for covering up a crime.
You have made a serious
error in removing my blog and I appeal you to
reinstate the blog, as you originally agreed to do on the 22 July
2016.
You can contact me over this
matter by emailing me directly at matttaylor2000@hotmail.com.
I look forward to a response by The
Blogger Team...
Yours Sincerely,
Matthew Taylor
