This is a terrible injustice!
How can Google justify such an action? They should most certainly have backups of his blog posts. And why also delete his e-mail.
Regardless of his views or lifestyle choice, if no laws were broken then his blog should NOT have been taken down.
That is one reason when I started my blog I put it on a site that I managed and controlled. My hosting service, Dreamhost could go away, but at least I have backups done on a regular basis.
I urge you to please sign the Change.org petetion here and let your voice be heard as well..
