In http://www.google.com/about/company/philosophy/ http://www.google.com/about/company/philosophy/ Google states that "Democracy on the web works":
"We assess the importance of every web page using more than 200 signals and a variety of techniques, including our patented PageRank™ algorithm, which analyzes which sites have been “voted” to be the best sources of information by other pages across the web. "
If they are deciding what is good content or not, that doesn't sound too much "Democratic" to me. They have the right to index whatever they want, but by doing that I have to return to the early ages of the web when we had to consolidate information from different search engines.
