Due to the reinforcement of GPS positions because of expanding the scope of its application, not long ago the United States security services set the task of fighting with the spread of GPS blockers (systems that jam the work of GPS-devices) for the control of various services. That idea seemed to be perfect assuring Google to bound the on-line search results for GPS jammers, according to Bob Brewin, the lead developer of nextgov.com, this idea worked at least for some time.
On the 7th of April a main designer, who had been studying the GNSS problems for many years, was impressed with the number of references in his blog, which Google found on request “GPS jammer” (GPS jamming signal). Brewin immediately contacted with the guys from Google. They said that “The GPS-jammers’ references contradict to the company policy, which bans advertising of hacking and some proper 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 references on the GPS-jammers’ sites.
And there was a great number of sites about such blockers in other SE. In Feb, during the conference British expert David Last said how he reached 185 thousands backlinks on that request. The quantity of GPS-disablers’ sites increased by 50% just in a month. The restriction of search of the exact phrase “gps jammer” by Google will remove nearly 106000 references – but it is a small relief.
