Google will also push for laws that make ISPs and intermediaries liable for the content contained on their servers. Google just indexes the information, the search engine argued, and feels it is not its place to censor information contained throughout the Web.
Ahhh....they feel they shouldn't sensor, and there I was thinking that was Google's task in life. Very generous and what a great idea for new laws that firmly put the blame on anyone but Google.
That wasn't my reason for citing it. Neither Google *nor* intermediaries should be responsible for illegal content -- to them, it's just bits moving. The only responsibility that *either* one should bear is the ability to provide an audit trail to the real culprit, no more. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv () duh org> <tv () pobox com> <todd () vierling name>
