Add to FavoritesBottom line...Internet censorship is to protect people from scams..and mainly children from predators! Are we allow to trade our children across borders to be used for sex slaves...do we trade them to be caught up in some scam and murdered. I think this debate is ridiculous if you truly take a good look at what is happening to people, young and old on the Internet. I am especially worried about the young girls that are being stalked on the Internet. I am so happy that there is some kind of policing on the internet trying to find these predators, obviously not even. I would sign up for the job as I have myself talked to a few men pretending to be 13 and my parents were sleeping , I told the person each time, "I could sneak out" and they were all for it. This problem is only going to get worse. I hope the people from Google who have children can look at this censorship in a different light.

Agree
What we seem to have a hard time dealing with is a lack of power. When we aren't allowed to do or say, we look to turn the laws that our forefathers created in such a manner so as to have a debate or a created gray-area. This at the very least, gives us time to change the no's to yes. And so it is again here. Google has to put itself on a fine line between responsibility and censorship. Bad news, They have made their statement, and guess what? you know it, everyone didn't agree. They give the explanation that it's like the international trade barrier which gives each country the creative license necessary to do as they want. And as much as I don't want it, It is necessary to censor because the same Idiots that created the gray-area, is now trying to sue because of what was not censored. You are only human, you don't control everything and you can't say anything you want! Don't like it? create your own Google and walk your own fine line, make that call and please everyone?
