Google
has been filtering and censoring blogs in India for long. As per the
latest post of the dedicated blog analysing censorship
and blocking by Google in India, Google has once again
censored
and demoted more blogs in India. Not only blogs but even
news articles have been frequently
censored by Google in India.
This exercise of Google is not only against its own
motto of do not be evil but is also against civil liberties like
speech and expression. Further, there is a complete lack of
transparency in Google’s actions.
Clearly, commercial interests and personal agenda
have found favour with Google and it is manipulating with search
results and blogs placement in its search engine.
According to the blog post, the following websites
have been demoted and subjected to manual
action penalty by Google without any reason and
justification:
(2) Cyber Security In India
(3) E-Discovery Services In India
(4) E-Commerce Laws And Regulations In India
(5) Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB)
(6) Corporate Laws In India
(7) Techno Legal Online Dispute Resolution Services
Even the resource titled International
ICT Policies and Strategies seems to have been censored by
Google.
It is high time to ask Google to clarify its
censorship stand in India.
