Google Publicizes DMCA Takedowns

dmarti writes "In an apparent response to criticism of its handling of a threatening letter from a Church of Scientology lawyer, the popular search engine Google has begun to make so-called "takedown" letters public. DMCA-censored pages are now two clicks and a cut-and-paste away from the regular search results."

    I'm getting sick of all the comments complaining about the moderation on certian items. Things like "Mod this one up!" from all the AC's are just a pain to sort through. Do you want the ability to mod somehting? Get and account and login.

    And they want to charge me for all this too....

    Yes, but arriving into a slashdot discussion 6 hours late generally leaves your comment pretty much unnoticed. Not to mention the fact that all the first posters would set their time to 0 while the normal posters would probably have a few minutes delay, thus leading to even more annoyance.

    Remember this is an anti-scientology story.
    Only comments about all the scientologiest (did I spell that right?) being rounded up and killed are allowed.
    I find it rather odd that a community like slashdot can be so small minded and petty.

    Right.
    /. is about what's happening NOW. Like watching a live performance versus a tape-delay performance. It's watching the ongoing battle between the site authors and the meepts and later. If the site is slashdotted, somebody usually manages to post any relevant cached information. For a moment of glory, I think I'd gladly suffer being slashdotted.
