Google removes links on celebrity injunction couple
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/apr/14/google-links-celebrity-injunction-couple-threesome
The Daily Mail reported that an online privacy firm claiming to
be acting on behalf of the couple had complained about more than
150 links on the search engine. The removal notices are more
normally used for taking down links to copyrighted information.
They are different to the messages Google posts when it removes
links under EU "right to be forgotten" rules. Google declined
to comment. The notices have appeared just days after a
political blogger revealed that he had received legal threats
from lawyers after he published the names of the couple.

I don't care one nit about their sexual activities, but I do care about
censorship of the press and Google Search results. (Oh, and by the way,
the smart money is on David Furnish, the Canadian husband of Sir Elton
John, and British businessman Daniel Laurence. Go ahead, sue me. You
can't get blood from a stone, boys).

I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently
doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone.
