Cincinnati Black Blog's Nate Livingston: He's Popped Up With A New Google Address

CINCINNATI (TDB) -- Nate Livingston has launched a new blog that he's calling Operation Heightened Contradiction. His Cincinnati Black Blog is unavailable to the public while it is "under review" for possible terms of service violations. Livingston recently posted some Social Security numbers on CBB that he said belonged to persons he considers enemies, and there may be other objections about possible privacy violations beyond that. Livingston hasn't yet explained online what is taking place between himself and the Internet powers at Google, who own Blogspot, the site that hosts Cincinnati Black Blog. That said, Nate is back in attack mode and still raising considerable amounts of hell aimed at his enemies.

Scott Piepho at Pho's Norka Pages reckons Google smacked down the Cincinnati Black Blog because Livingston "promised to publish whatever confidential information he could lay his hands on about his opponents in a the [child] custody dispute." Pho believes Nate has embraced a ruthless school of revenge. Pho also shows that the Google content policy appears to be a barrier in the way of Livingston's threat to expose person information on the Web:

"We do not allow the unauthorized publishing of people's private and confidential information, such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and other license numbers."

At the moment, that type of material does not seem to show up in the posts now on Livingston's new blog, Operation Heightened Contradiction. They seem to be edited versions of what originally appeared on Cincinnati Black Blog before the Google smackdown.

Cincinnati Black Blog: A Harsh Attack On Ohio State Rep. Tyrone Yates

CINCINNATI (TDB) -- Nate Livingston's Cincinnati Black Blog has been inactive for more than two months. Today it returned with a salacious story that involves private lives and at least one public figure -- State Rep. Tyrone Yates. The things that appear on Livingston's blog about Cincinnati's former vice mayor will not be reprinted here. But they are available by clicking the link above, and have already been spread far and wide by the technology that powers the Internet. We are now witnessing the unfettered and unchecked flow of information -- perhaps scurrilous information -- that is the downside ripple of the digital age. A portion of Livingston's post has the seamy flavor of an anonymous comment that appeared on Jeff Coryell's Ohio Daily Blog last year, a comment that outed a Republican public official in Wood County who subsequently admitted he was gay and dropped out of the OH-05 GOP congressional sweepstakes.
