If anybody, I think the provider, not the search engine should be obligated.
He should be, but in many cases it's just not doable, because governments are local and the Internet is global. I think it should be accepted as a fact. So maybe we need some rethinking. Maybe banning books was never a good idea, even if ideas presented there seemed dangerous, inconvenient and sometimes plainly false.
To me the situation looks like this: A goes to the police station to report that B has stolen something. They are fully aware that there is no chance they can catch B, so they arrest A.
I'm not saying that there is no problem, just that the solution they have chosen is worse than lack of any action.
- lovich 9y agoIn your analogy it's more like A is a fence who made money off of stolen goods from B and is acting like they have no responsibility for being part of the transaction. If this was some non profit or a person collecting the information as a hobby it might be a different argument, but these are for profit companies making this available. Whether or not you think that should be allowed, you cant pretend that the search engines are not responsible in some part for the process being possible
