Google Blocks 'Innocence of Muslim' Video In Indonesia and India
hypnosec writes "Google has blocked the anti-Islamic video, which was posted on YouTube, in Indonesia as well as India. YouTube has already denied a complete removal of the clip 'Innocence of Muslims' that mocks Islam and Prophet Mohammed. The video has led to protests and violence across the Arab world. The foreign ministry spokesperson of Indonesia and India have confirmed that Google has blocked access to the video. Indonesia has also asked RIM to filter the video on its smartphones."
Apparently freedom of speech applies only when it's convenient. Sounds a lot like the model in China where only specific protests/violence are "allowed". Way to go Google for adopting the China model. Maybe they'll let you back in!
Essentially it's this. It also applies to Google's action elsewhere. First they pirate ebooks and defense that right, but they have no problem removing megaupload and the pirate bay from suggestions. Secondly they open source products when they have to, but most of their products are sealed closed source projects.

Like that has anything to do with anything. I already know you don't believe the shit you spew in your little trolls. I just wish you'd have a heart attack already so that we can get on with grown up conversations.
which is totally what she said
Noone would be trying to watch this without the Streisand effect. I can't see how anyone could take such a terrible piece of filmmaking seriously. Hell, it doesn't even make fucking sense most of the time, it's just so disjointed and jarring. Blocking it worldwide would be doing humanity a favour.
Hello, we're talking MUZZIES here. They go nuts over books, cartoons, TV shows - just about anything. The more you limit free speech the more they will want it limited.
