Ah, Google. Defending the first amendment, while shitting all over our privacy! Such heroes!

If you think they are doing something good in this case, I recommend not complaining in discussions about this case.

Also, Google is a big complicated thing with many different people and parts. Don't expect total consistency from anything that large and complex.

I don't think they're doing anything good. If they were actually good, they wouldn't be eagerly shitting all over our privacy and constantly devising new ways to do so.

This is just a PR/Distraction-stunt.

They;re defending it because it makes business sense. Google wants to index everything - they don't want to be held liable for it all and have to handle thens of thousands of take down orders.
