Article about Aboriginals that Google censored; warning, disgusting

- tokenadult 17y agoAs in the other thread, I disagree that the correct language here is "Google censored." The site is up. You and I can read it. So no one censored the site. Rather, Google responded to a legal process that apparently exists solely in Australia to remove a link to that site from certain search results pages generated after Google searches. I think everyone agrees with the principle that SOME sites are best removed from Google results pages, for example malware or spam sites. If I understand the other thread correctly, Google even notes for the user's benefit that some search results have been removed when it complies with legal directives such as that used in Australia. Google gets to decide how to do its business of generating search result pages, including how it wants to respond to the laws of other countries. Google isn't censoring the site linked here. P.S. It amuses me that people who perhaps think they are supporting the cause of opposing censorship are in some cases indicating that by downvotes in the other thread. Should every opinion be heard, or shouldn't every opinion be heard?
