No, they are company that must abide by local laws and international treaties. They can NOT just do whatever they feel like. Nor can you. You may think you can, but if you violate the law in doing 'what ever you feel like' you get tossed in jail ( if you get caught )
I will say it again, for the last time:. If they filter once, they should be liable for any future result. if they filter 'malware' results, but allow KP results, they should be put out of business. You cant selectively decide what you want to let thru then claim protection on the basis that you cant control illegal content.
Personally, i feel that if they filter ONE item, EVER, then it blows the entire idea of them not being liable for future content. They really shouldn't be in the business of deciding what is ok and what isn't ok. Just report the links as is, and collect their revenue leaving it up to us to decide what is right and wrong.
Nor should it. Google is now telling me what is moral and immoral and wanting to restrict access on their concepts of right and wrong? Who died and made them king?
Either they are a public company that should be considered a 'common carrier' or the aren't, which is it to be?
Considering i don't ever read content, i couldn't tell you if it was his original work or not.
But it has happened on more then one occasion where the CEO/president/etc has asked for direct document help and i really don't see the words. its all just letters and fonts to me.
Since when do you have to include it? I thought you only had to make it available 'at cost', but i don't remember seeing anything that requires you to ship it with the binaries.
The UN should exist as a non binding arbitrary between nations ( we don't all agree all the time ), and to facilitate 'group' projects sponsored by member nations. Nothing more.
1 - email isn't truly 'contact' information. 2 - no school? Technically that would mean that 2 kids in the same school couldn't tell each other their email addresses to help out with homework or plan the next school party ) 3 - why should a kid be 'non contactable' in the first place? Why isolate them? Just monitor the child's email and teach them not to respond to perverts and the real problem is solved.
Want to restrict phone numbers and addresses, well thats more appropriate, but think about #2 above.
Normaly copters are used to supplement an active investigation. If you see one, you know something is up ( or its just the local TV station running traffic reports.. )
These things will just fly around and look at everyone, hoping to catch you with your pants down. Later they will just record every move everyone makes, regardless of any suspicion. Do you want that? I don't. Unless I'm under active court supported suspicion, they don't have a right to 'follow' me around, 'just in case'.

its pretty black and white.

If they are not a common carrier and actively filter results, then they need to be held legally liable for any results that are inappropriate/illegal.
Cant have it both ways.

Just hope they don't use comcast for any of their service.

Tho, they shouldn't lie about it. Just change the TOS and be upfront and the 'problem' is solved.
They will lose customers, but at least its all in the open for everyone to make a decision.
I wonder if apple stuck on some sort of NDA about new products and this dude leaked it without permission.
Either way, id be pissed if i was Steve Jobs.
No, just a sign of being honest.
No, it really can be done. You just have to train yourself.
Once you can sit at a desk with a CEO and help him format his confidential IPO document but don't read one word in the process, you have succeeded.
They have a lot of cash, and a lot of strings to pull in washington that will prolong any death to long after we are all dead and gone.
You can choose a different job. I know i would.
Yet more companies i will just refuse to do business with. It only takes one annoying ad for me to never look at that company again.
I have to agree, its damned frustrating and inconvenient, but its not a *brick*.
I remember running MSDOS on PCDitto long before that.
If i was trying to pull a fast one over on a bunch of extremely wealthy kids that aspire to be attorneys.

I would be a hypocrite if i agreed with you.

There is a problem here. Several actually.
1 - email isn't truly 'contact' information.
2 - no school? Technically that would mean that 2 kids in the same school couldn't tell each other their email addresses to help out with homework or plan the next school party )
3 - why should a kid be 'non contactable' in the first place? Why isolate them? Just monitor the child's email and teach them not to respond to perverts and the real problem is solved.

Needs to keep their noses out of a sovereign nation's business. This move towards a one world government is really scary, and offensive.
And then have the HSD charge you with terrorist and spend the rest of your life with 'Bubba'? No thanks
They raise your taxes. Since there is little to no justification its really quite simple.
And just because you are paranoid doesnt make it any less possible.

It can also backfire too, either from stupid things you have said in the past or people using the same nick somewhere else and saying stupid things.
Sure, you might get to explain it wasn't you, or they may never even call you for a interview.
Instead of letting the methane be consumed by a bug, why not burn the stuff and use the heat for energy?
