UK MPs Threaten New Laws If Google Won't Censor Search

Posted by timothy on from the bittorrent-in-congress-means-us-is-next dept.

It's not just Japan that wants to regulate how Google displays search results: judgecorp writes "A committee of British MPs and peers has asked Google to censor search results to protect privacy and threatened to put forward new laws that would force it to do so, if Google fails to comply. The case relates to events such as former Formula One boss Max Mosley's legal bid to prevent Google linking to illegally obtained images of himself."
