Google said it will stop censoring for the Chinese government Real Soon Now, and last week told the Australian Censor Board to pound sand when the Ozzies asked Google to please censor YouTube videos from their "refused classification" bin; pretty much under the radar, Google has been happy to censor on behalf of the Thai government as well, since a previous administration cut off access to YouTube over a royal insult.

    Database, Published on 24/02/2010

    » Every so often, a new product from the hugely fertile Google gets a lot of press, some of it bad, and that's what happened with a Google Mail feature called Buzz; it's a social network tool allowing users to share photos, videos, chit-chat, insults and updates, sort of like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, hi5 and several dozens of others; the initial offering showed every user every other user's contacts, setting off privacy alarms; the main feature is that each user can link to spots on other networks such as YouTube or Flickr, which then are automatically added as updates in Google Buzz.
