It's a gross violation of Free Speech, of course, and it's indicative of the Big Brother oppression and censorship routinely practiced by the FDA. They want to make sure that people can't even read online pharmacy websites. That way, people will be forced to buy drugs in the U.S. at sky-high prices that are controlled by the monopolistic pharmaceutical industry. So the FDA is using political pressure to censor access to public information and boost profits for drug companies. Those who know how the FDA operates are not at all surprised by this action.

As of this writing, Google has so far resisted the strongarm tactics of the FDA. You can still search for "online pharmacy" and see lots of links to results. That's because Google likes to protect Free Speech, and they aren't so easily shoved around by overzealous federal agencies operating more like industry propaganda machines than industy regulators. Hopefully, Google will challenge the FDA's request in court and Free Speech will override the highly corrupt -- even criminal -- intent of the FDA.
