That is not at all what I said, and you know it. You’re better than that, Obdicut.

No, I don’t know it, which is why I asked. Accusing me of dishonesty isn’t going to get you anywhere.

You said:

But a search company that can decide to hide one class of information from you can decide to hide other classes of information from you.

You’re saying this is problematic, that they can decide to hide information. You say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and you said:

The people that came up with the ideas and infrastructure for censoring the internet did not forsee it being used as a method to suppress non-criminal information.

You never explicitly stated what you wanted to happen, which is why I asked. Do you think that Google’s power to hide information (which, again, is actually part of their business model) is something that shouldn’t exist? That they shouldn’t have that power? Or that they should?

Because if you’re okay with them having that power, then I can’t really understand your post. Maybe you can explain further, and clarify your position, because right now it seems to be saying that ‘censorship’ of this sort is a road to hell.
