If google doesn't know that shit is available, we have a problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No kidding. And blanking an entire organisation (as opposed to a reporter) is a bit tantrumy.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Google is the first one to say that yes, information is out there.
I think it wasn't the fact that it is available, but that they published it in a story.
It's quite another thing to distribute the information in more formal press setting.

For that you cut off an entire organisation? It still seems petulant to me.

Petulant, yes.
But I'm guessing that many businesses if they, for instance, felt that the New York Times had done them wrong would keep NYT reporters from press conferences for a while. Why would CNET be any different?
I'm not saying it's right, but it happens all the time.
At least that's one of the reasons we were taught to have some restraint in journalism school when I was getting my degree.

The report I read a couple days ago said that banning reporters was standard, banning an organisation was rare.
But I'm not part of the industry, so I can't comment with any authority -- just passing it on.

Journalism schools teach students to hold back lest they lose access?

I think they should've banned CNET on account of the fact that their site blows.

Not hold back, be careful. A very important distinction. Publishing it was the iffy part.
the problem is the use of unnecessary and gratuitious information about someone, information that does not directly contribute to a story. They could have reported that they found out the information.
And yes, at least when I was in college 15 years ago, I had plenty of reminders of ethics in journalism, including a class called such.
The real world of journalism wasn't as black and white, but then what real world is?
