In connection with the reinforcement of GPS positions because of expanding the field of its application, not long ago the U. S. Security services decided to fight with the spread of GPS disablers (systems that block the work of GPS-receivers) for the support of various services. Such idea seemed to be great persuading Google to restrict the Internet search results for GPS interrupters, according to Bob Brewin, the chief designer of nextgov.com, this concept worked at least for some time.
On the 7th of April Brewin, who had been investigating the GNSS problems for some time already, was effacted with the number of links in his blog, which Google showed on request “GPS jammer” (GPS jamming signal). Brewin immediately connected with the guys from Google. They said that “The GPS-jammers’ references contradict to the company policy, which prohibits advertising of hacking and some suitable technology”, and that they will eliminate the problem. Indeed, the searching on request “GPS jammer” have no effect in the evening. But on request “GPS jammer” with mark “Shopping” Google found three ad links on the GPS-jammers’ sites.
And there was a large quantity of web-sites about these interrupters in other SE. In Feb, during the conference British expert David Last mentioned how he got 185 thousands links on this request. The quantity of GPS-disablers’ sites increased by 50% just in a month. The abridgement of search of the exact phrase “gps jammer” by Google will remove nearly 106000 references – but it is a poor consolation.
