It appears that a great many requests were for removal of
defamatory
material against individuals due to a court order
I don't consider such removal to be interference with free speech.
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..

Defamation, in this case, was not defined.

Sorry, but the law most certainly does define what it is.

And in the case of a public figure, is all but impossible to pursue.

On the contrary, they simply have to fail a lawsuit like anyone else.


So, until the terms of these particular defamation cases are revealed,
this is all just conversation.

As is the assertion they shouldn't remove them either.

But the reason for the removal of the material that was critical of
the government was 'government criticism.'

Yea, and from reports in a slanderous/libelous manner.

Sorry, but if the material was defamation in the legal sense or even
could reasonable be, then Goggle has a self interest to remove the
material to protect itself from legal liability as being an accessory.
The same as if you post copyrighted work and so on. If they are notified
and they fail to remove it, then they open themselves up to legal
liability by being an accessory.


That's where the duty to resist pressures from the government stands.

Sure, if it's purely a 1st Amendment issue, however slander/libel isn't
protected under the 1st and for good reason.


The government, the First Amendment, precludes the Government from
silencing, or causing to be silenced, those critical of the government.

Not if the criticism is slander or libel. Then it most certainly can do
so.

Just as the FCC can notify goggle they are hosting a copyrighted video
and so on. If they fail to cease the copyright infringement then that
would open Goggle up to legal action against them.




It would only be slander if it was proven to NOT be true ... obviously,
with the current state of politics and criminal public servants, most any
despicable, criminal, or perverted act you can imagine them doing is most
likely true ... sad, so very, very sad ... in very short order the respect
which respectable citizens once had for their government is gone.

Wrong. It's would be up to those being sued to prove it was true and thus
wasn't slander.

Stunning crime by government authorities, right out in the open, attack on free speech ...

Before we can dismiss Google's actions as legitimate in the interests
of anti-defamation, we need to know that the instance was, indeed,
defamation.

Given Google's history in the last 12 months alone, assuming
legitimacy of any Google action based entirely on their own say-so, is
no different than leaving money in an Enron 401K based entirely on
Kenneth Lay's assurances that Enron's finances were secure.

While you may argue the point of need, or duty, that Google offers
a report claiming transparency, while being the second most
deceptive and disingenuous corporation on the planet would be
laughable if it weren't so tragic.


ANd who declared Google to be
"second most deceptive and disingenuous corporation on the planet "
And by what standard was this defintion made ??


By observation, experience, incomparison to other companies operating
in the US. That declaration was made by a number of privacy advocate,
and corporate watchdogs.

Google's track record in matters of integrity and transparency is only
marginally better than that of the Ethyl Corporation. Read the TOS for
Google. The privacy policies for Google. Then read the privacy policy
for one of their products like GMail. The contradictions and
obfuscations are quite striking.

And while many users read the TOS associated with a product, few
bother to delve into the policies of Google, itself. It takes some
pretty determined digging, to find the real intent of the policies and
product TOS for Google.

The mantra "Don't be evil," is laughable on its face.



If they're going to offer a 'transparency report,' they DO ideed
have a need and a duty to be transparent.


You seem to have a real issue with putting the cart before the horse.
Why is that ?

And requiring actual transparency of a company issuing a transparency
report is putting the cart before the horse?


1) They don't have to put one out
They CHOOSE to do so
2) Who would "require it of them" anyway ?


You must have been a dream student in your debate class.


Yeah !
I usually rolled over wooly thinkers like you....



You think you do, anyway!


Nope
I know I did
It's called "winning the debate".


Indeed, I am quite left with the impression that you are a legend in your
own mind, unless there is someone else here who sees you the same ...


Can't even write a sentence that actually makes sense and doesn't contradict
itself ?
You poor dear..

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 ...

Go ahead and cite the law that they are breaking ?


I think..

That's where your problem is
YOu confuse "believing" with "thinking"




You mean like the practice of fraudulent deception in claimed business
practices, mission statements, and implied foundations of the
contracts you are agreeing to, and for the purpose of gaining or
increasing profits? Really? That needs explaining? If so, I don't
believe any possible will be acceptable to you!


Well, then feel free to explain away..
I'm sure it will be both amusing and entertaining



Well, to be blunt, and restate, so you don't miss the point, this time ...
it would be an excise in hopeless to explain most anything to a moron,
such as yourself. I find it only angers the moron -- you, and wastes the
time of the one explaining -- me.


Ah yes

It only proves that you're the idiot.
