Comments on: Google stands up to Lieberman http://www.xyre.org/2008/05/20/google-stands-up-to-lieberman/ Ancient writings, current events, and my other whims Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:03:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Elisabeth http://www.xyre.org/2008/05/20/google-stands-up-to-lieberman/#comment-372 Elisabeth Tue, 20 May 2008 18:48:50 +0000 http://www.xyre.org/?p=172#comment-372 But...what about the other videos? Why should it be okay for them to censor any of them? It's not google's job to censor the internet for "hate speech" or even "excessive violence". I mean, it could perhaps tag certain sites and say "visit this at your own risk--it's got such-and-such in it"...but the whole point of the internet is that anyone can say anything on it. Unless it's a direct incitement to violence, I guess. Shudder. But…what about the other videos? Why should it be okay for them to censor any of them?
