False, they should be responsible and they already are. Google does not link to pirated content. If and when they do, they take it down when it's reported. As they are legally required to do. Google may remove personal information as part of the "right to forget" EU directive. Death threats. Calls to violence. Revenge porn. As they are legally required to do. Google will remove CP/underage harmful content as they are legally required to do. Google may take down insults to the king, gambling sites, drug traffic sites, and all kinds of local legislation. Besides strictly illegal content, Google also censures content that might be technically legal yet considered distasteful or widely recognized as harmful: porn, terrorist propaganda, gore, etc. Google is not above the law, it can't do whatever it wants. Should it censor your political speech? No. But that's not what this is about.
