Story: Cult forces Google to remove critical links

This is an appalling case of censorship. Directories and search engines such as Google are showing lack of discrimination by making a number of view points accessible to users of their services.
Having a law that restricts the ability to index sites that contain a view point that is anything but rosy and shiny makes a mockery of the whole service.
While good news is nice - it is not always true. And even if it is it's nice to have the access and ability to read all sides of the story in order to create your own opinions - opinions which are likely to be more balanced due to equal and easy access to all of the information available other than that which simply presents a non-critical vew of an organisation.
Another form of controlling the masses points of view so we all end up being stupid bleeting sheep that will accept anything we're told.
