I cannot understand how anyone could support what google just did. To remove access to any information in a search engine should be a crime. When goverments do it it is bad enough. When companies do it it's even worse. Do you REALLY want Google to be the judge of what information you can access or not? |
They didn't delete any of the information...just images from the image search bar. Did you actually bother searching google? :P

It's censorship no matter how you look at it. Google deleted information because they have a grudge against another company.
When you're in the information business and the public relies on you, that is WRONG. It sets a very ugly precedent and shows just how little the modern Google cares about their catchphrase "don't be evil".

That is true. But I still think it could have been a lot worse. If you do a simple search, it will immediately link you to the apple page, which isn't as bad as completely omitting everything ipad related from the search as Killergran suggested.

They didn't delete the information, no. I never said they did. I said they removed access to information (by not giving any real search results for iPad pictures) . When you are a search engine, that's generally a bad idea. When you are a search engine which so many people use to find all their information, that should be criminal.
