> I see Google's censorship as an attack on "freedoms and rights".

Have I misunderstood something, but isn't this exactly about giving people a right to choose about the online visibility of their name?

If that is the case, isn't it a good thing that people get to have control over what is being shown and what is not? Or is full disclosure of personal details, the full personal transparency online the Right Thing to go with?

I thought a year ago during the NSA diclosures the consensus was that people should have the right to control the information collected, stored and shown about them. I see this paralleling that indirectly.

For what it's worth and to give someone something to grab onto, I am from Europe.
