Dissecting Localized Google Censorship

carpe_noctem writes "Linuxsecurity.com has a link to a rather interesting story regarding Google's use of localized censorship. While not much information is given from the political side of why Google might be censoring information likely to annoy certain governments, it certainly isn't the first time Google has come under fire for censoring results on account of external pressures. Makes one wonder how many pages get filtered out around the world."

    I just heard on the radio that Saddam Hussein has draped our Statue of Liberty in a green burka and you guys are whining about google filtering their results?
    That would be John Ashcroft you were thinking of. It's hard to keep the enemies of freedom straight without a scorecard.
