| Internet, being the most widely reaching medium along with the ease of publishing, becomes quite attractive to anyone who hasn't got the means ( money/influence ) to get content published on more traditional mediums like Newspaper, Magazines and TV. Hence you will find all kinds of material on the Internet including all kinds of hate speeches against all the religions, ideologies, personalities etc. Google being an indexer of Web would naturally present such material if you go looking for it. It's not Google's fault nor should it be its worry. After all, you can't really blame or shoot the messenger. In a way, Internet has had more of a leveling effect on the kind of content and information that is available to common people in the world ( at least for those who have some kind of access to it ). If for any bizarre reason, Internet starts to become more censor prone, it would loose its magical value. It is the most important invention of our times. It's somehow better if we don't have control over it. Just sit back and try to recollect the amazing pace with which it has changed and how beautifully it has sustained itself. It has a evolution path of its own. The logic inside my head says that it was correct when Google removed the video from Libya/Egypt. But there is something in my heart that says that we would loose the innocence of Internet we go down this path too often. Remember how reckless, carefree and full of possibilities we were when we were children. Then we came of age and learnt to how behave and think and do things like Adults. On the way, we somehow became ... well, just boring. Remember, Internet is still a child. Hope we don't force it into becoming just another boring adult. |
