That's extraordinarily dangerous thinking. Google is not the government. But Google IS an entity operating within the United States, and benefits from the freedoms enjoyed by the citizens. When Google is petitioned by the Government to silence criticism of that government, it has a responsibility to stand and resist the violations of the Rights of the People expressed by the Government's petition to silence that criticism. Google most certainly does have a duty. Most Constitutional guarantees of freedom apply to all persons in the jurisdiction of the United States, not just citizens. |

If they're going to offer a 'transparency report,' they DO ideed have a need and a duty to be transparent. The internet is a massive tool of mind control and disinformation. Google has perfected subliminal means to steer your thoughts. Resist. |

Do you ? The cause listed as 'defamatory' but the content was not revealed. The Court has long and often stated that individuals who may be public figures are not afforded some protections from so-called defamation, even in such case as the allegations against such individual are untrue. Malice of Intent must be proven. Very difficult in the case of a public figure. Further, the specific video involving 'government criticism' was petitioned by the government. It is the nature of Free Speech, that a case for defamation must be made to a legal standard, and transparency is required. It is also the nature of Free Speech that the government may not silence content that is critical of itself. This is guaranteed by the First Amendment. And, it is the nature of Free Speech that protections are afforded to speech that is neither popular, or comforting. Speech which is popular and comforting requires no protection. Be VERY careful about endorsing, sanctioning, or being complicit with any government that seeks to silence criticism. Of any kind, but most specifically of itself. It is the very essense of Freedom that the citizen has the right, if not the duty, to speak back to Power. Even if that citizen is wrong. When speech is silenced, transparency is obscured. Google has a transparency report where requests for removal are explained http://www.google.com/transparencyre...nmentrequests/ "Google" and "transparency" are mutually exclusive terms. Google is NOT the Government It's a BUSINESS It has NO NEED or DUTY to be ANYTHING.. That's extraordinarily dangerous thinking. Google is not the government.

When Google is petitioned by the Government to silence criticism of that government, it has a responsibility to stand and resist the violations of the Rights of the People expressed by the Government's petition to silence that criticism. Google most certainly does have a duty. I agree. I don't care if the government is attempting to prevent or control free speech or it is an individual or corporation, any attack on, or attempt to repress, free speech needs to be dealt with quickly and severely ... Else, let them declare their intentions openly and let the chips fall where they will! Regards, JS |

Resist. http://zapatopi.net/afdb/ You should be aware that your posting can be taken as an endorsement to use the design and plans for protection. It should be noted that any energies/waves/powers/microwaves entering from the bottom of this device will only be focuses upon the brain cavity and even the brain proper which is being enclosed in the device. Indeed, it is extremely likely that this device could cause damage rather then stop or reduce it, at least in some specific situations! This could leave you open to lawsuits from those using the device and suffering permanent brain damage! Just sayin' ... and those considering the use of such a device might want to explore other designs or offerings. Regards, JS |

Do you ? Google has a transparency report where requests for removal are explained http://www.google.com/transparencyre...nmentrequests/ Yes, when they allow others and pick the ones they don't agree with for banning, I do! MOST CERTAINLY! Too bad Google is NOT the government The Ist Amendment does NOT apply. No. They are simply breaking the law by saying one thing and doing yet another ... I think deception to support profits/political-interests/etc. can be, and is in some situations, criminal. But, until it enters a court of law the finer details are simply an exercise in argument ... it remains to be seen if an when anything is done about it. Regards, JS |

Looking beyond the boardroom to issues of First Amendment protection definitely makes ME the problem. |
