Regulating Google’s Results? Law Prof Calls ‘Search Neutrality’ Incoherent

• jdp23 16y ago
  James Grimmelmann (the prof being cited) has a strong software engineering background; he worked with me on PREfast in Microsoft Research and also was in Office for a while. So he understands technology well. That said I often disagree with him, including on this issue. His full paper is well worth reading. http://works.bepress.com/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1034&context=james_grimmelmann http://works.bepress.com/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1034&#3...

    it's really bizarre to me that my post above got voted down at least once (maybe more). it seems to me that it adds quite a lot to the discussion: information about the main subject of the article most people don't know, and a link out to the full paper that's buried on page 2 of the main article. why was it downvoted?

        Thanks for the response! For the trolls, oh well, what can ya do. For the people who are downvoting because they agree with him ... does a downvote meant "doesn't add value" or "I disagree"?

      For whatever reason, the post formatter is truncating the display text for your URL in a manner that makes the last character preceding the ellipsis a character that does not display correctly -- at least on under Windows XP with the Asian et al. character packs installed. Maybe some people see it as suspicious.
