Google censoring?

Filed under: Censorship

Hrmmm.. Atlas Shrugs reports that Google is censoring the cartoon battles. She links to this site which tells you if your blog has been flagged for abuse. This is interesting because Jon Jay Ray reports that he thinks he is being censored. What is this evil slouching toward blogostania?

Update: Publius Pundit is addressing the congressional hearings on Google, Yahoo!, etc. I found this through him:

Lantos’ message: “your abhorrent activities in China are a disgrace. I simply do not understand how your corporate leadershp sleeps at night.” Citing the parallel between complying with Chinese censorship and complying with German government censorship of Nazi websites is “beneath contempt.” The German government is acting as democratic representative of the people. China has rubber stamp parliament, the Chinese government has no moral qualms about suppressing religious and political dissent. If the Chinese govt passes a law saying that all women are forbidden to use email will Google comply?

“These companies tell us that they will change China. But china has already changed them.”

The Register weigh in
