Blocking information

On the French and German Google search engines, more than 100 sites deemed controversial have been quietly removed from the search listings. These sites were mainly nazi sympathy sites that denied the existence of the holocaust. I don't think people are going to miss those sites, but how is something deemed "controversial?" Since the internet is a fairly new advancement in technology, there are almost no regulations and laws for it that pertain to the whole web. Sure schools and workplaces can ban certain sites, but can a search engine really just not list some sites. China has been known to block Google from the country, but that again is an example of a government (or workplace or whatever) that is controlling what its people see and is another issue all together.
I don't think a public search engine should have to block anything from the public. It's fine if they are asked to block it by a government or if the government (or workplace, school, etc.) itself blocks it, but I don't think Google should get in trouble for something they can't help. A better solution would be for the government to go after the people creating the websites instead of a search engine that just locates it.
We should also look at the future and anticipate what kind of regulations need to be followed by the internet. One of the most innovative things about the internet is how freeing it is and uncensored. But as time moves on, there are generally more and more people with more and more complaints and criticisms and biases whose feelings are easily hurt and if they need to regulate it, then fine. But don't go after a search engine whose job it is just to find the pages.

Here's the article.
