Wonder how google would stay in business if this passed. How to stop the engine from knowing that it's indexing an illegal website?

- tzs 15y agoThe law has no trouble distinguishing between something that happens as a side effect and something that is intended.
- bediger 15y agoI don't believe you in the slightest. The people who wrote the bill in question either didn't think of what happens to Google, or they want it to happen to Google, or they consider it something like "you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs".
- bediger 15y agoHow does any non-corporate website stay legal in this case? It looks like you can't link to something not under your control without a substantial risk of committing a crime. Without "blogrolls" it's hard to find related blogs. Without links to actual news articles, it's hard to write commentary worth reading. If some copyright troll can link to Most Sacred and Holy "IP" in the comments, you can't really have comments on articles. This particular bill seems like an attempt to unring the Internet bill, to stuff the genie of disintermediation back in the bottle, to put gatekeepers/editors back in place.
