[kictanet] Google Statistics on Government Censorship Requests

[Walubengo J]

Check this out this interesting link

http://www.google.com/governmentrequests/

Apparently Google is more government friendly than imagined - it tends to comply with most Government requests to block certain content/services...(this makes me wonder what their beef was with China).  

So anyway, when Google complies with Govt requests, it means that when users in Kenya search for e.g.  kenyan-hate-speech related content they wont see that; but if the same Kenyan does the same search from the US territory, they can see the very hate-speech that has been blocked within the Kenyan territory...

mmhhh...talk of technology controlling society.

walu.
