Wired has revealed in its latest issue that not only does Google remove hate sites on request of foreign governments – it also removes sites that a lawyer suggests infringe copyright – again without notifying anyone. What the article doesn’t make clear is whether they bother to follow through and determine whether the site actually does infringe copyright or whether they just take it off the database and wash their hands of the consequences. Do the offending sites even know that they have been removed?
