There's another angle to this, which is that Google is a private company, not some neutral, objective, institutional entity. (The only thing like that I can think of with a similar, relevant mission is the Internet Archive.) Google owns a lot of personal data, and more than that, Google displays search results from that data ranked by means designed to heighten Google's bottom line.
I am finding more and more that moves which weaken Google's commercial control over the world's data have a certain level of default support from me, regardless of other factors. But, I'm naive and frustrating that way... - Heath On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 5:17 PM, stef <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 12:05:36AM +0200, Rayna wrote: > > Following up on Rufus's questions, I have another one: whether the > verdict > > will include a provision making public interest outweigh personal desire. > > i don't think this matters at all. this is quite similar to the censorship > of metadata linked from the piratebay. > > -- > otr fp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/otr.txt > _______________________________________________ > okfn-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss > Unsubscribe: https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/options/okfn-discuss > -- Heath Rezabek // labs.vessel.cc Long Now Foundation (Intern) // Manual for Civilization Project // longnow.org Icarus Interstellar // FarMaker Design Corps // icarusinterstellar.org Open Knowledge Foundation // Texas Ambassador for the OKFn // okfn.org
