http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/03/28/us-baidu-china-lawsuit-idUKBREA2Q1VS20140328"The First Amendment protects Baidu's right to advocate for systems of government other than democracy (in China or elsewhere) just as surely as it protects plaintiffs' rights to advocate for democracy," the judge wrote.
Furman likened a search engine's "editorial judgment" to that of a newspaper editor who decides which stories to publish.
He also said there is a "strong argument" that the First Amendment immunizes search results from "most, if not all" kinds of civil liability and government regulation.
"To allow plaintiffs' suit to proceed, let alone to hold Baidu liable for its editorial judgments, would contravene the principle upon which our political system and cultural life rest: That each person should decide for himself or herself the ideas and beliefs deserving of expression, consideration and adherence," the judge said.
Awesome. Like my editorial judgement to silence all others thus giving me alone total authority over what is said and what isnt!!! Woot Woot!!!
Im going to use Baidu from now on. Im so sick of Google this, and Google that. All Google needs to do now is buy out Tesco's and I think their global empire would be unstoppable. i thin Google, Mocrosoft, Facebook, Amazon and the like are the dark spectre of evil in this modern world. Destroying all opposition, controlling everything so theres no other choice. I dont think people remember the internet of 1998 when the internet was full of real people trying things and such. No one has web sites anymore, just CIA folders, i mean Facebook accounts. You cant say what you want else you go to prison.
