Court Rules Google's Search Results Qualify As Free Speech

wabrandsma writes with this news from Ars Technica: The regulation of Google's search results has come up from time to time over the past decade, and although the idea has gained some traction in Europe (most recently with "right to be forgotten" laws), courts and regulatory bodies in the U.S. have generally agreed that Google's search results are considered free speech. That consensus was upheld last Thursday, when a San Francisco Superior Court judge ruled in favor of Google's right to order its search results as it sees fit.

So, if Google's search results are considered free speech, do they also have the same responsibilities as other forms of free speech.

Hey I've just looked this theater up on Google and it says that it's on FIRE!
