Google hasn't just thrown its teddy out of the pram: it has stamped all over it as well.
The search giant has sent technology news site CNet to Coventry for a year over a story written by reporter Elinor Mills. She had the temerity to employ Google's own search technology to dig out details of Google CEO Eric Schmidt's business and personal life, including how much he made from selling Google shares and the town where he lives.
Seemingly as a result of the "privacy issues" raised by the piece, Google has banned its staff from talking to any CNet reporters for a year.
