Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images [updated]

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the smell-the-scent-of-karl-rove dept.

Mihg writes "Try searching Google Images for abu ghraib, lynndie england, or Lynndie's boyfriend charles graner and note how you don't get any pictures of US soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners of war. Now try it with some of their competitors, like AltaVista, Lycos, or Yahoo!. Google used to be able to find them, as is discussed in this AnandTech forum thread." I'm guessing that this is another case of our administration confusing "National Security" with "Politically Undesirable". Update: 11/07 20:18 GMT by P : Google has a reasonable explanation.

    And you're officially the worst troll ever.

    God, what happened to GNAA? The page full of barely-topical links with hidden redirects to goatse?

    This place has really gone downhill. You know I'm right, and you're not even a good troll. Just go back to sleep, little boy.
