http://uk.news.yahoo.com/requests-pull-uk-google-links-double-1245369...

UK Government agencies and courts nearly doubled their number of
requests for links to online content to be removed, Google has
revealed.

"The internet search firm said it received 97 content removal
requests  between January and June asking for more than 3,000 items to
be taken down.

The firm's Transparency Report said this was an increase of 98%
compared with the previous six-month period.

It said it had been asked by one unnamed British law enforcement
agency to remove 14 search results."

Should we have censorship or should we be free to write what we like?

Richard McKenzie formulated on Wednesday :

"The force in question said the results were linking to sites that
criticised the police"

Is this now illegal?

http://duckduckgo.com/ ... gives results as google did a few years ago when
it was a relaible search engine and not just a feed for wikipeadia, oh and
it doesn't track users
http://gibiru.com/ ... claims to be entirely uncensored and doesn't track
but it does turn up more shit (as in not useful) results than duckduckgo

All the best,

Periander
