Imagine Google replacing google.com with a clear statement denouncing a particular government action and naming names? Imagine Google de-indexing the government instead? They have so many more options available quite simply because they have such massive exposure.

- rbanffy 15y agoVoluntarily delisting something is unthinkable. It would violate the most basic principle for a search engine - to present the information without distortion. Voluntary censorship is a step too far.
- gte910h 15y agoA court order is not voluntary. A court order is the step before a judge tells cops to break down your door to do what the order says.

- andrewflnr 15y agoI don't think they can do that just for putting up a message yet. At least I hope to God they can't. For de-listing government sites, they would probably suffer consequences.
